FG plans collaboration with communities to secure railway infrastructure | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️
As Shaibu visits Igueben communities over attacks on station Amid kidnappings, attacks and destruction of railway infrastructure, the Federal Government has disclosed plans to establish Nigerian Railway and host communities security committees to tackle armed attacks on railway infrastructure and passengers in the country.
The minister, who sympathised with victims of the attack, said the intention of the perpetrators was to sabotage efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari to resuscitate rail transport service. He, however, allayed fears of plans to shut down the rail system, saying: “Nigerian Railway Corporation remains undeterred, which is why we will continue to operate this rail service. We are not going to stop. All we need to do is to ensure the safety and security of our people and our passengers.”
During his visit to Igueben, Shaibu said the state government was strengthening security to check crime and criminality, promising that the Governor Godwin Obaseki administration would make the state unsafe for kidnappers and other criminal elements to thrive. He said: “We were here on Sunday for a fact-finding mission and today, we are here again to give moral support to our security troops on ground and also have another discussion to review all our activities since this kidnap happened and to see areas to improve on.
The group commiserated with the injured and families of those kidnapped and called on state governors of the Niger Delta region to, as a matter of urgency, ensure the release of those kidnapped.
