Inactive Rail Tracks Give Room For Vandalism — Frank Mba | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE
The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police,  Frank Mba has called on the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) to improve its investment in security to tackle vandalism.

The spokesperson made this call on Monday, when he featured as a guest on ‘Good Morning Nigeria’, a programme on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).

in recent times, there has been increased cases of vandalism of rail tracks across the country.

Speaking on the development on Monday, Mba said: “This is not just a Nigerian issue. It also seems to be a global challenge. In South Africa, for example, at a time, 10 kilometres of rail track were vandalised. In fact, the cost to replace that was put at $2.3 million. This year alone, the South African transport ministry is budgeting 1.9 billion rand to put back their rail system that was vandalised, especially during the pandemic — during the sit-at-home,”

“That gives credence to [the] position that when a rail line is idle, it gives room for vandalism. When a rail line is not in active use, that’s when a lot of vandalising, stealing, destruction take place. And to complicate matters, once the vandalism begins to take place, and it’s not quickly fixed, then you create more room for it to go on.

“The challenge for NRC is also for them to be perpetually vigilant. The earlier these things are fixed as soon as the theft takes place, the stronger deterrent you put in place to stop further vandalism on that track.

“Both the transport ministry and the railway corporation need to invest in security. Everywhere in the world, the best global practice is dual investment. As you invest in infrastructure, it doesn’t matter whether it’s transport, it doesn’t matter if it’s aviation, invest in the security and protection of that infrastructure.”

He added: “Sometimes, when you see younger people vandalising or stealing public properties, it doesn’t matter to them. They just feel like ‘the politician next door has stolen so much; the local government chairman, the minister, the director had also stolen so much and I am just taking a bit out of the national cake.’ He or she does not even regard it as a criminal offence or something condemnable,”

“The national orientation agency has a lot of roles to play. But beyond the national orientation agency, we need our leaders to also live up to what they preach and that is the only way to go
