Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has called for urgent needs in Nigeria’s transport system.
Atiku made this call in a post on his official X handle on Thursday, while reacting to the derailment of the Abuja-Kaduna train.
DAILY POST reports that a passenger train travelling from Abuja to Kaduna derailed on Tuesday morning, leaving several carriages overturned and causing panic among passengers.
“I am deeply concerned about the derailment of the Abuja-Kaduna train on Tuesday, which resulted in injuries to at least 14 passengers. It is a relief that there were no fatalities, but this incident underscores the urgent need for action.
“We need transparent updates and a commitment to strengthening safety protocols that will restore public confidence in our rail infrastructure system,” he said.
