The Federal Government has directed the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau to immediately commence a probe into the collision between a passenger train and a bus conveying some civil servants to their work places in Lagos on Thursday morning.

Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, gave the order, asking the NSIB to unravel the immediate and remote causes of the accident and proffer ways of preventing such in the future.

Sirika, in a statement released by his Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Dr James Odaudu, sought the cooperation of members of the public during the investigation by the NSIB team.

The minister also commiserated with the government and people of Lagos State, especially those who lost their loved ones, and prayed for the quick recovery of those injured in the accident.

Meanwhile, the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has sympathised with the victims of the Ikeja train accident.
