The Federal Government will dedicate 1000 policemen to the protection of the Abuja-Kaduna rail line which is scheduled for flag off by President Muhammadu Buhari in the first week of July, 2016.
Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi disclosed this in Abuja during a test run of the train from Idu station to Kubwa.
“We need about 1,000 policemen to secure Abuja-Kaduna rail and we are getting the policemen from the Nigerian Police Force to secure the rail-line, to ensure that everybody is safe, from Idu station to Kaduna and Kaduna station to Idu on a daily basis.
“Everybody will be protected in and out of the train. The reason we may delay a while is because we have to take into consideration the religious obligation of Mr. President so that we are able to bring him to flag off for commercial activities by first week of July, 2016,” he said.
