The Nigeria Union of Railway Workers is seeking adequate measures for the protection of workers and passengers against coronavirus before resuming train services.
The union, in a statement on Friday, urged the Federal Government to ensure that all required safety and preventive protocols were put in place before bringing the trains back on track.
According to NUR, returning train services is a welcome idea and should be a direct function of robust insulation from the pandemic of all the workers of the corporation and the teeming commuters and customers of the corporation. Esan implored the government to ensure that all the frontline workers like the ticket checkers, station workers, loco driving crew, mechanical workers and other employees were provided with personal protective equipment.
