Train attack: FG shopping for security gadgets for rail tracks – Minister

The federal government is currently shopping for the best security gadgets to be installed on the nation’s rail tracks in order to forestall any security breach, the Minister of Transportation Engineer Mauzu Jaji Sambo disclosed in Lagos.

The minister, who was on a maiden visit where toured facilities under his ministry said though he is happy with everything he saw, there is still a lot to be done in the areas of infrastructure and security.

Speaking with journalists after a train ride from the Apapa port to the Iddo headquarters of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Engineer Sambo government will continue to build on infrastructure.

QHe said “I am happy with everything I saw, I am happy that I came but why I said mixed feelings, we have a lot to do. Unfortunately the things that we have to do are only those of the ministry of transportation. You saw when we got down at Ijora and checked how bad the roads were. So we are going to talk to our brothers and sisters at the federal ministry of works and housing, synergise with him and ensure that the roads are motor-able once again.”
