Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has disclosed that his ministry is not in a hurry to commence train ride.<\/p>\n

The Minister also said when the train operation commences, the train would not move if passengers refuse to comply with safety precautions.<\/p>\n

Train operation was suspended following the outbreak of COVID-19 as part of measures to curb the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n

The Presidential Task Force (PTF), on COVID-19 had last week disclosed that rail transport would resume shortly after domestic flight resumes operation.<\/p>\n

The National Coordinator of the PTF, Sani Aliyu said rail transport would commence as soon as the ban on inter-state travel is lifted.<\/p>\n

The Minister however disclosed the ministry position via his official twitter handle @ChibuikeAmaechi.<\/p>\n

The tweet reads: \u201cWe\u2019re not in a hurry to start train operations because of the danger of covid19 spread.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we start, all health and safety protocols must apply. You will not enter a train if you don\u2019t adhere to our rules.<\/p>\n
