The suspended Abuja-Kaduna rail service will resume in November, Minister Of Transportation, Mu’azu Sambo, made this known on Monday while giving the score card of his ministry in Abuja.
He said adequate security measures had been put in place to ensure the safety of passengers.
The minister, however, did not specify the date of the commencement of service.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation suspended train service along the route after terrorists attacked a passenger train in Kaduna on March 28, 2022, killing many and abducting scores of passengers.
The captives were later released in batches until they were all freed.
The FG had said that the Abuja-Kaduna rail line would remain shut until those held captive by bandits were released.
Speaking to journalists in Lagos late September, Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Fidet Okhiria, disclosed this.
He noted that the corporation had restored the damaged rolling stock and fixed the track, but the train service would not resume without the safe release of the remaining passengers held hostage.
