President Muhammadu Buhari has approved N4.3 billion for the procurement of new trains for distribution around the country.

The procurement of new trains to increase the trips along the Lagos-Ibadan, Warri-Itakpe and Abuja-Kaduna railway routes next year.

The trains will be assembled in Nigeria in this new train assembly factory in Ogun State.

It could be recalled that the FG last week  introduced a new system of purchasing tickets, which he said is the beginning of security checks which will enable the government to ascertain who boards the train at every point in time.

This development was as a result of resumption of Abuja-Kaduna rail services  on November 28, 2022.

The Abuja-Kaduna train service was temporarily halted eight months ago when terrorists planted explosives that derailed the train AK-9 while on its last lap from Abuja to Kaduna.

The terrorist had killed nine and abducted over 60 passengers, all of whom have been released.
