The Federal Government has asked Nigerians to raise funds for the treatment of those who sustained injuries when terrorists attacked the Kaduna-Abuja bound train.
Recall that the terrorists gunned down at least nine persons, while many others sustained various degrees of injuries in the attack.
The Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, who spoke when he visited the victims who are being treated at the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital in Kaduna on Wednesday, revealed that the army had not charged the patients a dime, Daily Post reports.

Amaechi asked Nigerians to liaise with the hospital to contribute money as some of the patients who have bullets in their bodies may need surgery.
He said, “They said they have only seven (patients) left and the rest have been discharged.
The ministry and I think the federal government, are grateful to the Nigerian Army for providing such services.
“But one thing I have said to the Nigerian people is to liaise with the hospital management and see how much money they can contribute for the treatment of the patients”.
