The federal government has said it was extending the resumption of commercial operation on the Abuja-Kaduna train service by one week for proper security checks

The Minister of Transportation Mu’azu Sambo had said that the train service would resume by the end of November after its closure 8 months ago due to a terrorist attack on the train service.

“After buying the ticket, you will be given a barcode that would help u gain access to the lounge, when the machine reads the barcode on your receipt, your complete profile only then will you be allowed to into the lounge. This kind of security measure is according to global best practice as profiling of the passenger is necessary to know who is coming on board”.

“Another visible change people will notice is the increasing number of security personnel and some of them will not even be wearing uniforms to guarantee the safety of the travelling public. There are other sensitive equipments that we have deployed that I will not be mentioning.” Sambo, however, disclosed that the number of trips will be reduced and when the number of passengers increases and the travelling public begins to have confidence in the service they would increase, stating that night trips that is the 6-8 pm trips have been cancelled.
