The Federal Government has extended the resumption date for the Abuja-Kaduna rail services announced by the Ministry of Transportation.
The revelation was made by Mu’azu Sambo, the Minister of Transportation, during an inspection tour to assess the readiness of the Abuja-Kaduna rail services before they begin operations.
The Minister, who could not provide a specific date for the return of rail service, claimed that it will not be more than a week.

The Minister explained, “The federal government has introduced a new system of purchasing tickets, it is the beginning of security checks that will enable the government to ascertain who boards the train at every point in time.”
The federal government announced this week that the Abuja-Kaduna rail service will restart on Monday, November 28th, 2022.
The rail operation of the Abuja-Kaduna train was discontinued after an attack on the train on March 28, 2022, in which terrorists set explosives that derailed the train.
Nine passengers were killed in the attack, and 60 were kidnapped, but all have been released.
