According to him, “the federal government has set up a committee headed by the permanent Secretary,  Dr. Macdalin Ajani, with other members drawn from the relevant agencies to recommend lasting solution that will enhance safety of passengers on board trains along the railway lines especially the Abuja-Kaduna railway corridor so as to forestall future reoccurrence.”
