The Plateau State Government has commiserated with families of victims of Wednesday’s train accident at Phototek Junction in the Abattoir area of Jos South.
A tricycle rider and a passenger died when the tricycle reportedly attempted to cross the track as a passenger train from Bukuru to Jos approached.
Commissioner for Transportation, Hon. Davou Gyang, described the incident as a tragic reminder of the need for strict adherence to traffic and rail safety rules.
He said the ministry is working with the Nigerian Railway Corporation and other agencies to investigate the crash and prevent a recurrence.
Gyang urged motorists and pedestrians to obey safety signals at rail crossings, reaffirming the government’s commitment to transport safety through public education and law enforcement.
