The Federal Government has said it will shut down the Lagos-Ibadan and the Abuja-Kaduna train services should there be any case of COVID-19 detected among passengers.

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, disclosed this on Monday while featuring on NTA programme, Good Morning Nigeria.

He said train users must comply with all COVID-19 protocols from the beginning of every trip to the end.

T“If we see that we are conveying passengers who have Coronavirus from Lagos to Ibadan and Ibadan to Lagos, we will stop it just like we are threatened to stop the one from Kaduna to Abuja if people don’t comply with the Covid protocols.

“Don’t forget that on Kaduna-Abuja, we convey 4,000 passengers in a day. Imagine that about 20 per cent have Covid, they can transmit Covid to the entire passengers. The rate of transmission will be high. The same is applicable to Lagos. Everybody must comply with the Covid protocols, wear your masks till the end of the journey,” Amaechi said.

The minister also added that the $1.6 billion Lagos-Ibadan railway project which would be completed this month would be inaugurated virtually by the President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Nigerian Railway Corporation had in December 2020 commenced operations for the Lagos-Ibadan railway, a standard gauge rail covering a distance of 156km.
