The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) says the rail transport on Warri-Itakpe (WITS) corridor is safe and operational.

The Ag. Deputy Director, Public Relations, NRC, Mr Callistus Unyimadu, said this, in a statement, in Lagos.

“The attention of the NRC has been drawn to a widely circulated social media massage warning the public to avoid train travel, particularly along Warri – Itakpe rail corridor.

“The message, accompanied by a short video showing removed rail clips, falsely claims that rail transport is currently unsafe and urges passengers to cancel travel plans.

“We wish to categorically state that this information is misleading and unfounded,” he said.

Unyimadu noted that the identified incident, which involved the temporary removal of some rail clips at a specific location on the corridor, was promptly detected during routine inspection and was immediately rectified by NRC maintenance team.

“All necessary safety and operational protocols were strictly followed to ensure that no threat was posed to passengers or the integrity of the train operations.

“Indeed, the Warri-Itakpe train (WITS) has successfully passed through affected section without any incident, further confirming the safety of the route,” he said.

He pointed out that the NRC remained committed to the highest standards of safety and security in all its operations.

He added that NRC tracks and rolling stock are under constant surveillance and maintenance and NRC personnel are fully equipped to address any issues that may arise in real time.

“We, therefore, urge the public to disregard the viral message and continue to use our train services with full confidence.

“Any attempt to spread fear or discourage the use of rail transport undermines the progress being made in the sector and should be condemned.

“Train services on the Warri-Itakpe corridor and all other NRC corridors remain safe, reliable and fully operational.

“For official update and travel advisory, we encourage passengers to rely only on verified NRC communication channels,” he said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Nigeria Institute of Food Science and Technology (NIFST), FCT Chapter, has urged the Federal Government to harness the power of next-generation food science and technology to guarantee food safety.

The President and Chairman, NIFST Governing Council, Bola Osinowo, said this on Thursday at the 11th Regional Food Summit and NIFST Day celebration held in Abuja.

The event had its theme as “Next-Generation Food Science and Technology Solutions for Nation Building”.

“Food science offers solutions through biofortification, breeding crops to naturally contain higher levels of vital vitamins and minerals.

“Imagine what we can achieve with cassava enriched with Vitamin A or maize with increased iron content, reaching communities most in need.

“We can also leverage advanced food processing to fortify staple foods with essential nutrients, making healthy diets more accessible,” he said.

Osinowo said food was the foundation of life and the bedrock of national stability.

According to him, a nation’s development is intricately linked to its capacity to produce, distribute, and consume nutritious food efficiently.

He said historically, advances in food science -such as the Green Revolution – had transformed societies from hunger and malnutrition to abundance and prosperity.

“In Nigeria, a significant portion of our agricultural output is lost due to inadequate storage and processing.

“Next-generation solutions like novel preservation techniques, intelligent packaging that extends shelf life and efficiency can address the challenge.

“Similarly, cold chain logistics, powered by Internet of Things (IoT), can drastically reduce this wastage, ensuring more food reaches our tables.

“Beyond just quantity, we must focus on nutritional security. Hidden hunger – the deficiency of essential micronutrients, affects millions and hinders national productivity,” he said.

The Director-General, National Biotechnology Research and Development Agency (NBRA), Prof. Abdullahi Mustapha said to fully harness innovations, the government and stakeholders should have a dynamic curriculum on genomics, proteomics and nutrigenomics.

Mustapha, who was represented by Director, Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics, Mrs Shakirat Solebo, called for expanded access to innovation, grants, venture capital and improved  Public – Private Partnerships (PPPs).

He also said there was a need to establish centres of excellence for youths and women in agro technology.

Mustapha said the future of food security and economic growth was in sustainable innovations.

According to him, this can be achieved by embracing biotechnology and digital agriculture.

The Director-General,  Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) , Ifeanyichukwu, Okeke said embracing innovative solutions would create a more resilient and sustainable food system.

Okeke, who was represented by the Group Head, Healthcare Group Standardisation, SON, Mrs Uduak Udoso said SON remained committed to supporting the innovative initiatives.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that NIFST was established in 1976.

It provides  professional support to individuals, public and private institutions in the food industry by  promoting food science and technology, (NAN)

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, says plans have been concluded to introduce reforms in the FCT transportation sector to improve safety and comfort.

Wike said this in Abuja on Friday, after he inspected the completed Kugbo and Mabushi Bus and Taxi Terminals in preparation for inauguration to celebrate President Bola Tinubu second year in office.

The minister also inspected the completed access road to Giri District, which is also ready for inauguration.

Wike said that there would be a lot of reforms, adding that a lot of things would happen in the transportation sector in the FCT.

He said that a committee was already working on the reforms, which would be ready before the bus and taxi terminals would be inaugurated.

“Obviously a lot of things will happen in the transport sector in the FCT. There will be a lot of reforms

“Because as part of security measures, we must know those involved in taxi business and what colour to use, so that if anything happens, we will be able to identify them.

“Just be assured that we are doing everything possible to strengthen our transportation system,” he said.

The minister added that the FCT Administration was working to remove a lot of motor parks on the road.

Speaking of the quality of the project, Wike expressed satisfaction with the delivery of the project, adding however, that he has pointed out some areas that needs to be corrected.

He commended the contractor, which he said had done his best, and promised to continue to support local contractors to give the best to Nigerians.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Kugbo and Mabushi and Central Area Bus and Taxi Terminals were constructed as part of efforts to improve the transportation system in the FCT.

While that of Kugbo and Mabushi terminals were ready for inauguration, the one at central area is under construction.

The minister also revealed that two additional terminals would be constructed, one each in Bwari and Gwagwalada. (NAN)

The Federal Government says discussions are ongoing on how 15,000 Nigerians stranded in Cameroon, Niger, Chad and other parts of the world will be returned to Nigeria in safety and dignity.

Alhaji Tijani Ahmed, Federal Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), disclosed this at a media briefing on Friday in Abuja.

Ahmed revealed that no fewer than six million people are displaced in Nigeria while thousands of refugees are living elsewhere across the world.

“We have 15,000 Nigerians that want to return to the country voluntarily and we also have not less than 100,000 foreigners living in this country as refugees.

“All these are the responsibilities of the commission, to give them support,” he said.

While reiterating government’s tireless efforts to ensure safe return of the displaced persons, Ahmed thanked President Bola Tinubu for the support given to the commission and the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry.

The  NCFRMI boss also disclosed that Nigeria would be hosting the first thematic meeting under its chairmanship of the Rabat Process with more than 100 delegates from the 57 partner countries in attendance.

It would be recalled that Nigeria assumed chairmanship of the Rabat Process – a Euro-African dialogue on migration and development – in January, 2025.

Ahmed said that the meeting, scheduled for May 13 and May 14, themed, “Youth, Innovation and Education: Driving the Future of Migration”, would pave the way for bilateral discussions between Nigeria and other countries, leading to better migration governance

“Membership in these platforms provides opportunities for knowledge transfer and better migration management.

“Nigeria’s leadership in the Rabat Process is seen as an advantage, despite its being a one-year term,” he added.

The federal commissioner also outlined the challenges in managing migration, including the need for adequate advocacy to inform younger generations about legal migration pathways.

“There is a need to educate migrants about the consequences of irregular migration, including negative outcomes.

“The focus should be on advocating for legal migration pathways to reduce the number of irregular migrants.

“Regular migration involves moving through legal channels, while irregular migration often involves dangerous and illegal methods.

“Irregular migration can lead to hardship and danger, with many migrants unable to return to their home country,” he said

Ahmed, therefore, called for better coordination and support from various stakeholders, including the media to enhance migration governance. (NAN)

Mr Bobga Danjuma, President of Livia Soft Company in the US, has urged African countries to adopt modern aviation equipment to enhance airspace safety.

Danjuma gave this advice on Thursday in Abuja at an executive workshop on NavAid drones, with the theme ‘Advancing in Air Navigation and Safety.’

He stated that modern aviation equipment would improve safety, efficiency, sustainability, and capacity building across Africa.

Danjuma urged African countries to adopt advanced tools like the NavAid Drone, a cutting-edge technology transforming the aerospace industry.

“Africa needs this technology to help navigate airports and runways without relying on expensive aircraft-based calibration,” he said.

He explained that drone-based navigation is a cheaper alternative. Within weeks, an operator can learn to fly a NavAid drone, even in strong winds.

“The barrier to entry for using NavAid drones is very low, making this innovation beneficial for Nigeria and the entire continent,” he added.

Danjuma said NavAid drones reduce calibration costs for navigation aid systems while also lowering carbon emissions.

Also, Mr Luc Haeberle, Managing Director of Colibrex Smart Drone Solution, explained that NavAid drones calibrate Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), which guide aircraft during landings.

“NavAid drones ensure precise calibration of navigation aids, minimising errors and enhancing safety,” he said.

He noted that regular drone-based calibration improves reliability, reduces accident risks, and ensures compliance with regulatory standards.

In his welcome address, Mr Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, highlighted the importance of air navigation and safety.

Represented by Mr Michael Chukwu, Director of Safety, Keyamo said growing air traffic demands more innovative, efficient, and reliable solutions.

“I warmly welcome you to this workshop, where we explore NavAid drones’ groundbreaking role in shaping aerospace development,” he said.

Keyamo stated that the workshop would deepen participants’ understanding of air navigation challenges and how advanced drone technology is revolutionising the industry.

“NavAid drones represent the future—enhancing safety, streamlining operations, cutting costs, and promoting sustainability,” he added.

He said participants would witness a live demonstration of the NavAid drone and discuss real-world applications with industry experts. (NAN)

By Itohan Abara-Laserian

Some aviation stakeholders have expressed satisfaction at the efforts of the Federal Government in ensuring air transport safety.

The stakeholders made their views known in interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

They advised the government to intensify efforts at aviation safety.

A former spokesman for the Federal Airports Authority (FAAN), Mr Yakubu Dati, told NAN that FAAN and the Nigerian Airspace Management Authority (NAMA) had shown commitment to improved air transport.

According to Dati, Nigeria has recorded reduced air incidents.

He expressed delight at inter-agency collaboration in the aviation sector.

He praised the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, for efforts in taking Nigeria’s aviation industry to greater heights.

“I want to commend the aviation authorities for collaborating and ensuring that safety remains a priority because, at the end of the day, aviation is hinged on safety.

“However, more needs to be done, of course, in line with International Civil Aviation Organisation standards to be able to ensure that we operate on the same platform with others.

“I also want to commend FAAN for mainstreaming the issue of training.

“It is when you have a trained manpower that you will be able to compete and operate internationally, especially in the area of safety and security,” Dati said.

Mr Ekip Eso, the President of Akwacross Aviation Professionals Association, hailed NCAA for effective regulatory functions.

Eso said that FAAN was ensuring that airport runways were intact, carrying out rehabilitation when necessary.

“The runway has been de-rubberised. FAAN ensures removal of aircraft tyre coatings from the runway because, for every aircraft landing, the tyres are coating on the runway.

“That coating is being removed, which is called de-rubberising. This will enhance the friction.

“On the side of NAMA, it is working on navigational services, it is training and re-training air traffic controllers.

“It has worked on its radios, navigational facilities are up to date, they are all functioning.

“When you aggregate all these functions, it will sum up to what Nigeria is doing to ensure a safe airspace,” he said.

Eso, however, urged more trainings for aviation personnel and procurement of all relevant equipment.

The Chairman of Air Peace Ltd., Dr Allen Onyema, had at a recent event to mark the 25th anniversary of the NCAA, said that the authority’s thorough and safety-centred oversight function had directly impacted the safety records of Nigerian airlines.

According to Onyema, as Nigeria strives to position itself as a leading force in global civil aviation, it should acknowledge its giant strides.

“Focus on safety has directly influenced the excellent safety records of Nigerian airlines,” he said.

According to NAMA’s Managing Director, Mr Umar Farouk, the authority has successfully installed the Instrument Landing System in some airports to ensure seamless navigation.

Farouk, represented by NAMA’s Director of Air Traffic Services, Mr John Tayo, told a stakeholders meeting recently that the agency had also resolved an issue with radio frequencies 127.3 and 120.9 at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

Also, the Managing Director of FAAN, Mrs Olubunmi Kuku, said that de-rubberisation of runways across the country had been a top priority of FAAN to ensure safety.

“We have also deployed additional equipment for friction testing,” Kuku said at the stakeholders meeting.

She added that FAAN had made significant progress in wildlife management although still faced with bird strikes. (NAN)

By Emmanuella Anokam

The Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (P-CNGi), has urged Nigerians to patronise only government-certified CNG conversion workshop centres across the country for safety.

 

P-CNGi Programme Director/Chief Executive, Mr Michael Oluwagbemi, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Abuja.

 

Oluwagbemi warned against patronising illegal conversion centres and locally fabricated cylinders by quacks in an attempt to convert patrol vehicles to CNG.

 

He advised Nigerians to visit the P-CNGi website – www.pci.gov.ng to see the list of government approved conversion centres.

 

NAN reports that the P-CNGi is a component of the palliative intervention of Tinubu’s administration, designed to provide succour to Nigerians suffering from the hardship created by fuel subsidy removal.

 

Sequel to the fuel subsidy removal and full deregulation of the petroleum products market, the price of fuel increased significantly, creating a need for alternative sources of energy such as CNG and electric vehicles.

 

However, Nigerians are still sceptical about its usage and have raised concerns about its security, safety and affordability of conversion kits.

 

Speaking on its safety, the programme director said that CNG was lighter, adding that air dissipates quickly, thereby, reducing fire risks in a contained environment.

 

On regulation, Oluwagbemi said that the regulatory standard was approved by Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) to cover the CNG conversion industry.

 

He added the Nigeria Gas Vehicle Monitoring System on the other hand, regulates and monitors all gas-powered vehicles.

 

“Natural gas is safer than petrol and diesel and our aim is to transition Nigeria to the use of a safer, cheaper, cleaner and more reliable energy source.

 

“The P-CNGi has been promoting the use of CNG through various policies and initiatives since the commencement of the project in 2024.

 

“This also includes public awareness and enhancing adoption by Nigerians,” he said.

 

He said that the CNG programme began with seven centres and was able to increase the centres to 193 in 2024.

 

The P-CNGi boss said that there were currently about 30 conversion centres in FCT alone, while Lagos has more than 70 centres.

 

He said that President Bola Tinubu’s administration targets one million converted vehicles by 2027 from the current 30,000 to 50,000 CNG converted trucks and vehicles across the country.

 

Oluwagbemi stressed that CNG was safer than patrol, adding that there had been no incident of failure so far, except for one incident in Edo, in 2024.

 

He attributed the incident to the use of locally fabricated cylinders by quarks, who were injured while attempting to fill the cylinder for the first time.

 

“The three persons were immediately arrested and have been charged to court for economic sabotage,” he said.

 

Juxtaposing CNG’s incidents with petrol, the programme director pointed out the several incidents of petrol explosion recorded across the country, with high mortality rate.

 

He explained that methane and ethane, being the primary constituent of natural gas, were single chain linked hydrocarbons.

 

This, he said, contrasted with butane, propane and all linked chain hydrocarbons that constitute diesel, petrol, gasoline and LPG.

 

“Natural gas is lighter than air. We store it in bulletproof containers that are made of protective cylinders that are made of seamless pipe.

 

“This means there is no joint, unlike LPG cylinders that have welded joints.

 

“There are no joints, so it cannot leak. If it leaks, it escapes immediately to air. It has 1001-degree centigrade self-ignition temperature.

 

“So, it is 18 times less explosive than petrol, and eight times less explosive than diesel. If you are using a petrol vehicle, you are using a dangerous vehicle. You are sitting on a petrol bomb,” he warned.

 

The programme director further argued that the rate of fatality when a patrol vehicle exploded was nine out of 10, adding that patrol vehicles were more dangerous compared with CNG vehicles. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

Ahmed, represented by Dr Mustapha Lamorde, Executive Director, Health, Safety, Environment and Community, NMDPRA, said the authority would collaborate with relevant stakeholders to enhance public awareness to avoid reoccurrence.

“From what we learnt, there was an accident, and from the accident, there was a spill, and people were scooping fuel. And this led to the incident that caused the loss of many lives yesterday.

“We will work with the stakeholders to review our standard operating procedures; we should have a proper safety arrangement to prevent such accidents.

“We have requisite training within the sector that encourages safety awareness,” he said.

NAN also reports that the NMDPRA team visited the Musa Yar’Adua Memorial Hospital, Sabon-Wuse, Niger, where the explosion victims were taken for medical attention.

Dr Musa Lafaruma, Head, Hospital Services, confirmed that 28 people were brought to the hospital on the day of the explosion, but three of them died leaving only one survivor.

According to him, many of the victims were taken to other hospitals for medical attention by their family members. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

Mr Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development says the Federal Government will advance digitalisation in the aviation sector to enhance safety and security.

Keyamo made this declaration at the inauguration of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Flight Data Centre (FDC) on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to him, the administration of President Bola Tinubu is committed to modernising various sectors, moving from analog to more digital and efficient systems.

Keyamo explained that the FDC would help NCAA to regulate more effectively by improving efficiency, saving costs, and enhancing the customer experience within the aviation sector.

“One of our five-point agenda is to improve safety within the sector. This initiative directly contributes to that goal,” Keyamo said.

He emphasised the importance of the FDC in enhancing safety, noting, “This system is not just for handling incidents or serious events; it can be used routinely to track flight patterns, human errors, and mechanical issues during flights.”

Capt. Chris Najomo, the Acting Director-General of NCAA, added that the FDC was a vital part of modern aviation, responsible for collecting, processing, and analysing vast amounts of flight data.

He outlined the key components of the FDC, which include data acquisition, data processing, event detection, and a feedback loop.

Najomo stated that the FDC would help enhance Nigeria’s global credibility by aligning NCAA with international best practices and boosting global confidence in Nigeria’s aviation safety standards.

“As an ICAO Contracting State, Nigeria is obligated to ensure the highest safety standards, and the NCAA’s collaboration with APS Aerospace Corporation supports this effort,” he said.

He further explained that APS Aerospace, with over 100 years of combined experience in Flight Data and Cockpit/ATC Audio Analysis, worked with the NCAA to train selected staff in Flight Data Analysis (FDA) and Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) systems.

“These systems systematically collect, process, and evaluate flight data to identify trends, anomalies, or safety issues, which are crucial for modern aviation safety management systems (SMS)’’.(NAN)
