Rotimi Amaechi has disclosed that locomotives on Abuja-Kaduna rail route that have broken down up to two times will be returned to China. Amaechi explained that it was unreasonable to keep repairing the locomotives since their warranty is still valid. “This will affect the number of times the train will now run on the route,” the Minister stated. It will be recalled that on November 20, the Abuja-Kaduna train stopped in the middle of the journey rendering passengers stranded. This will not be the first time the new acquired locomotives will be failing on Abuja-Kaduna rail route.
