The Federal Government has concluded plans to use technology and rapid response by the relevant security agencies to provide a lasting solution to rail and by extension, road security challenges.

The Minister of Transportation, Mu’azu Sambo, said this when he paid a courtesy visit to the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed, at the United Nations Headquarters complex in New York, United State of America.

Sambo, said “I have studied several recommendations and proposals and has settled for one which will give a long term solution that will cover both rail and road security and after testing this in the coming weeks it will be a template for the entire country. We are also working with relevant agencies to ensure the release of those in captivity”

Sambo part of the reasons for the courtesy visit to her was to solicit assistance and opportunities for the Federal Ministry of Transportation.

He commended her, adding that Nigerians were proud of her back home and every Nigerian would love to be associated with her.

“The task is not easy, but honestly, you are doing us proud indeed, we pray for strength, resilience and wisdom as you discharge your duties,” he said.

Earlier, the deputy secretary general hinted that she had families who had employees who lost their lives in the ill-fated train attack and some were still in captivity.
