 The House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the circumstances that led to a train conveying passengers from Lagos to Badon running out of fuel midway during the journey. This followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance by the minority leader of the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elmelu. In his motion, Elmelu said the Nigerian Railway Cooperation NRC was for the purpose of easy and cheap movement of bulk goods and commuters from hinterland to seaport and vice-versa. He said that in recent times there had been series of media reports of how passenger trains break down in the middle of nowhere for lack of maintenance. We are taking aback when our Nigerians were actually traveling from Lagos to Badon. As a speaker in the middle of the night, the trains stopped and the excuse that was given was that there was no diesel or that diesel finished. And this is not the first time that some of these things are happening. And when it happened, it put our citizenry in risk. What is happening now where people can be shot at or kidnapped? That give room for that kind of situation. So I feel that this House should look into this matter and even though what happened, why should there be recklessness on the lives of our citizenry to the extent that a train will stop? NEWS OPDATES
