Following the announcement by the Nigerian government to increase the train fares by 100% for the Abuja to Kaduna service, Nigerians have described the move as"unreasonable and insensitive."
Sani said the policy was insensitive because many Nigerians are suffering already due to the coronavirus pandemic.He said,"To the Minister of Transport, Chibuike Amaechi, and the ministry, 100% increase in train fare is unjust, unfair, soulless and insensitive. He said,"The decision is not in the interest of the masses at this critical time when COVID-19 has grounded the entire economy.
Amaechi explained that the reason behind the increment was that the coach previously carried 88 passengers, but when they resume the service, the coach would be taking just 40 passengers.
