The Federal Government on Monday said that it is fast-tracking the installation of some security gadgets on railway tracks to ensure adequate surveillance
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said this on TVC’s breakfast programme, This Morning.
He noted that the Muhammadu Buhari administration is not overwhelmed by the security challenges in the country as it is working toward ensuring that such incident as the attack on the Abuja-Kaduna rail does not reoccur.
“One of the things that the government wants to do is to fast-track the installation of a surveillance and monitoring system, not just on the Abuja-Kaduna rail track.
“But also on the Lagos-Ibadan and Warri-Itakpe rail tracks to ensure that at any given time we will be able to monitor from the control room,’’ he said.
“We must give kudos to our military; you know that we are not fighting a conventional war but terrorism, hence the need for everyone to support the security agencies so as to win over the menace.
“The Federal Government has also given the military the enabling environment to continue in the fight against terrorism and banditry,’’ he said.
