The Minister of Transportation, Senator Said Alkali, has challenged the design of the train station, which does not give easy access to the physically challenged and the elderly to use train services.

According to a statement yesterday by Olujimi Oyetomi, Director, Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Transportation, Alkali stated this while undertaking an unscheduled inspection of the Kubwa (Abuja) Train Station on Monday.

The statement said that the minister later disclosed that his visit was informed primarily by the report of vandalism of the main power supply from the national grid to the train station, which he received, lamenting that the power source vandalism had plunged the Kubwa Train Station into darkness and its management had to rely on alternative sources to power their operations.

The statement partly reads: “Senator Alkali also sought to see that the security and welfare of passengers are not compromised, as he later disclosed.”
