 Let's bring you updated what's making the rounds as regards the Kaduna Abuja train resumption And this is according to the directives has been given by the government. We do have innocent a Gigi joining the conversation He'd be telling us what's what measures have been put in place to ensure safety of lives and properties Innocent a Gigi's good to have you join us this morning on the show Thank you very much. Thanks for having me So, yes when they know that the federal government has directed that the Should be resumption of the train service Can you bring us up to speed? What are the measures that have been put in place by the government to ensure that lives are protected? We still also know that you have some citizens in captivity of India's also stealing captivity of this terrorist Thank you for the opportunity In fact, I believe it's an opportunity for me to clear the atmosphere over a lot of things that are trending Government has put in place a lot of security measures to foster safety and You know issue of security is not normally discussed in the public So I wouldn't want to begin to talk vividly about the security measures that is being put in place Because it's going to be a kind of a way of exposing the security strategy We have in place to first all safety of our passengers and even our workers So but before I go further I would want to use this opportunity to control and to sympathize with the family of those That are stealing captivity, of course it can happen to anyone and it can happen to me Also, nobody is safe as far as this country is concerned, but I wouldn't be happy when issues are politicized Over the running of the train that is coming up on the 23rd of this month So what are the measures that have been put in place by the government to ensure that lives are protected and those who would be Using the train are safe Okay, thank you very much. We have a lot of discussions We had a lot of discussions with the security agencies But the police the army and the Air Force and they have promised and have given their words in terms of protection of safety Our trains our rail tracks and passengers. I would love to stop there I wouldn't want to say much on this because it will be as I speak I know the whole world is listening and even the bandits are listening So if I speak more than this, they could strategize and still come and do worst things that we do not expect Gigi what is the NRC and the worker is going to do differently this time around because from all you for all we know It is just promises that the government is promising us that that security measures have been placed that even telling us that There'll be no morning and night. I'm you know service. So what exactly is your Union doing differently? Thank you very much. We have actually Gone far in terms of thinking of what The measures to be put in place should be because already we've been at the top of the situation right from the first Train attack that took place around the bomb blast that took place sometimes in october So that we have been talking and we have been strategizing And what the union has put in differently is to make sure that insurance cover Takes place for all those that are affected And we have put that is in terms of the staff, you know We had a two-day warning strike like sometimes likes last year because there was no adequate insurance cover for our workers in place Uh, no proper compensation No this no that and so at the end of it all we've come to agreement with management in terms of the personal life insurance Though we have a group life insurance, which of course nobody has benefited All right, all right innocent innocent insurance You know, you see you seem not to get the question I asked you. I wasn't asking us about I'll find in as much as we know that The welfare of these workers are paramount. I meant specifically what You will be doing differently as um for as in your services directly For instance, we hear that the NIN uh used to be used Before any passenger gets on board. So how prepared is the workers of the NRC for this particular development? That's what I was asking you Oh, yeah, we are very prepared for every development because uh, you know, we we our workers have gone on various kind of training To ensure that that is effective. And so we are so prepared and we are so much aware that Uh security is one of the paramount issues that is affecting the smooth running of our trains So we have put in place so many strategies, which I wouldn't want to disclose I know you that's what you keep saying that you're not disclosing these strategies But then again, are you also aware in a sense that um, the abductees families are actually insisting that Come may 23rd. They're not going to allow You know any operation of um, uh the train service in Kaduna state. What is going to be done by the NRC? Okay, thank you very much You see these families that are talking in this manner in as much as we sympathize with them But we will not support that because The there are killings every day on the road. Have the family come out to say they are shouldn't be running a motocross on the road These people girls were talking about this over 80s this year Have they closed all the schools in in northeast? Because of insurgency except if we want to close the entire country then they should continue to assist Is it because those that are affected on the road and other schools, you know, have families that have access to social media or the print or Electronic media that they will be talking in this manner It's not fair. They are not even fair to radio workers at all because if you insist that we must not run trend then It means they have prepared another job for radio workers to go and do because certainly government will not be keeping people that are doing nothing And we pay them salary for doing nothing. So they are not being fair to us We want this family to understand that this issue of security affects everybody in this country And we want them to understand that in fact it affects me directly because one of the drivers that is stealing activity Happens to be my colleague. We walk together in Fauci before he was transferred to Abuja. He has been so close to me I have done a lot of things and a lot of efforts to meet with the family and even the family of the other Staff and members of us that are in stealing activity. So we are directly affected equally And we never can tell who would be the next active of this attack. So I want the families of these kidnapped people to understand that in as much as Except if we agree that the country should should not move forward Because it affects everybody. You are even in your house. They will come and kidnap you So talk more when you're on the road or when you're on the track So I want them not to politicize this issue because they have access to electronic media and because they are connected or because they are Children of the big children of the of the poor have been kidnapped every day But nobody has come up to say stop running off cars in the on the road. Stop Opening schools Innocent Because that's our only source of negative Well, thank you so much Innocenta gg for being part of the breakfast this morning We do appreciate your time and your thoughts as well on the show And of course, uh fingers crossed would definitely follow up with development as they come All right, that's um the size of on the show for today a very big thank you to you for sitting back and Watching us and of course, I'm to all of our guests that joined us today.
