The Nigeria Union of Railway Workers on Tuesday expressed shock over the death of the General Secretary of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Musa-Lawal Ozigi, in the Kaduna train attack on Monday.
The union’s Secretary-General, Mr Segun Esan, in an interview with newsmen in Lagos, described the incident as shocking and devastating.
It was reported that the TUC had earlier confirmed the death of its General Secretary, Ozigi, who was among passengers onboard the Abuja-Kaduna train attacked by terrorists on Monday night.
“It is most unfortunate and painful that such a resourceful and ebullient fellow as the General Secretary of TUC would be lost to this attack.
“May his soul rest in peace and may God imbue our government at every tier the wisdom to tackle this menace of attacks on innocent souls. Amen,’’ he said.
Esan also described as unfortunate the increasing psychological trauma that survivors had to face following the attacks on trains.
He said, “I hope the Federal Government will begin to initiate a comprehensive risk assessment of the railway industry with special attention on the elements of threats, vulnerability and consequences.
