The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has in a written statement, ordered for the immediate resignation of all Station Managers, Porters, and Ticket Officials, at Idu and Rigasa rail stations.
Amaechi gave the resignation order, while inspecting the Abuja-Kaduna rail stations, on Friday, in Abuja.
According to the Minister, the directive has become imperative, following complaints of passengers over racketeering of VIP tickets at the stations.
“I am removing the Station Managers in Idu and Rigasa; the Porters and Ticket Officials will be removed, let’s see if it will resolve the complaints of passengers using the rail.
“Some of them have complained on the social media, I believe that if any system fails, it is because the leaders allow it to fail, and I will not allow that.
“The money we are spending monthly, is it just for diesel alone? Is it for general maintenance of all the stations and the environment? We will fix the lift within one week, to ensure that passengers use it for their luggage’’, he said.
