The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting critical rail infrastructure following the interception and arrest of suspected railway track vandals in Bauchi State.

Reacting to the development, on his X handle yesterday, the Managing Director, Dr Kayode Opeifa, described the successful operation as a clear indication that the corporation’s renewed security framework is delivering tangible results.

He explained that the current management has significantly intensified surveillance across rail corridors, strengthened collaboration with relevant security agencies, and adopted a zero-tolerance posture towards vandalism and theft of railway assets.

According to Opeifa, the arrest sends a strong and unmistakable message that railway infrastructure remains under firm protection, and that individuals who threaten national assets would be held accountable.

He stressed that the NRC remains resolute in safeguarding public investments, ensuring safety and integrity of rail operations, and restoring public confidence in Nigeria’s railway system.
