The leadership of Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (NACCIMA) has expressed shock and sadness over Kaduna train attack.

Just as the body announced its readiness to partner Federal Government and other security agencies to tackle insecurity in the country.

The Acting Director-General, NACCIMA, Mr. Opeyemi Alaran, who made this known while still reiterating the sadness of NACCIMA, said “It is with a sense of sadness that our Association, NACCIMA, reacts to news of bandit attacks on the Kaduna Airport and another on a passenger train.”

According to him, “Our sense of sadness is for the avoidable loss of lives, for which we commiserate with the family and loved ones of the deceased, as well as the humanitarian and economic damage that these attacks have caused.”

Still lamenting the sad but avoidable incident Alaran said, “these quantifiable losses mount, the Association is further disturbed by the increasing connotation that our country is unsafe to do business.

“This is extremely concerning given that current economic realities require inflows of foreign direct investment for sustained economic growth. We advocate yet again for urgent and incisive policy implementation by government at all levels to tackle this issue of insecurity.”

NACCiMA is on hand to partner with government to implement innovative solutions based on existing platforms, such as the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC).
