The Senate has commenced investigation into operational inefficiencies and insecurity in the Nigerian railway system, following concerns over declining service delivery. The decision to launch the probe followed a personal explanation raised during plenary on Thursday by a lawmaker who drew the attention of the Senate to the deteriorating state of key rail corridors in the country. Consequently, the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio inaugurated an ad hoc committee to carry out a holistic investigation into the Nigerian railway system. The committee was initially constituted in November 2025 and is chaired by Senator Adams Oshiomhole. Senator Ningi further claimed that despite the rail line generating over 1.8 billion naira in revenue, there has been no corresponding improvement in services.
