Abuja-Kaduna train passengers must have NIN — FG

Ahead of the scheduled resumption of the Abuja-Kaduna train services, the Federal Government has said that passengers on the route must register their phone numbers and National Identification Number (NIN) at the point of ticket purchase.

The government through the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) said identity verification devices will be deployed at each train station on the route for its officials to verify the validity of the identities of passengers.

The NRC also warned that it is dangerous for any Nigerian to use his or her NIN to purchase tickets for unknown persons as this may lead to criminal prosecution.

Okay.ng had reported that the Minister Of Transportation, Mu’azu Sambo, on Sunday, announced that train services on the Abuja-Kaduna rail line will resume this in less than a week, saying adequate security had been put in place to ensure the safety of passengers.

The minister said the government has learnt enough lessons from the attack in March that led to the suspension of train service on the Abuja-Kaduna route but did not give any specific date for the resumption.

The NRC had suspended train service along the route after Boko Haram terrorists attacked a moving passenger train in Kaduna on March 28, 2022.

The insurgents had blown up the rail track and bombed the moving train, killing some and abducting more than 60 passengers. The unprecedented attack had attracted international and national outrage.
