The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has advised that passengers planning to travel by train should prepare their National Identity Number (NIN), which will be required starting in May.
Fidet Okhiria, the NRC’s Managing Director, stated this in Abuja on Thursday, adding that the NIN will be required for passenger profiling.
“The process of linking passengers to their NIN for improved profiling is ongoing. This layer of passenger screening will commence by May.
“The Abuja-Kaduna Train Service (AKTS) will resume as soon as possible with additional security measures put in place,’’ Okhiria stated.
Following an attacker incident on March 28 that injured passengers and kidnapped others, the NRC halted the Abuja-Kaduna route.
Okhiria stated that security officials were working round the clock to ensure that all abducted passengers were rescued and released.
“While we continue to sympathize with families of those who lost or have not seen their loved ones, we encourage anyone still looking for a loved one to please call us.
“The corporation will continue to update the general public of the latest developments,’’ he stated.
“This means that all the 14 de-railed rolling stock (11 coaches, two rescue coaches and one Locomotive engine on the Rescue Train) have all been re-railed from the incident site to our stations at Idu, Abuja and Rigasa, Kaduna.
“Intensive track repair work continues at the site. An advanced level of track repairs has been achieved and hopefully, it will be rounded off in 10 days,’’ he explained.
“The NRC expresses its profound gratitude to security agencies for the continued support, especially for the security cover availed our officials and staff at the incident site,’’ Okhiria stated
