The Minister of Transportation, Muazu Sambo, while answering questions from the State House Correspondents after Federal Executive Council meeting, has described the call for recommencing the Abuja-Kaduna train service while some of the passengers kidnapped by terrorists are still in captivity as insensitive to their families.
Responding to the questions from journalists, the Minister said that families who are still traumatized over their members still in captivity of terrorists and the need for proper surveillance along the tracks are two factors at the heart of the Abuja-Kaduna train services.
Sambo, however, added that measures are underway to employ advanced technology-based surveillance systems to forestall future terrorist attacks, adding that other available option to secure the train service include the DSS-approved system deployed by the Kano State Government to frustrate terrorist activities in the vast Falgore forest.
He noted that the government is considering the best options in terms of surveillance including a Public-Private Partnership.
