On a motion by Senator Ede Dafinone (APC, Delta Central), after more than ten derailments and other failures on the Itakpe-Warri line between 2023 and 2025, the Senate set up an ad hoc committee chaired by Senator Adams Oshiomhole (APC, Edo North) to investigate the funding, contracts and standards of railway projects executed under President Muhammadu Buhari, with four weeks to report. In January 2026 the Senate set up an ad hoc committee, also chaired by Oshiomhole, to investigate the execution of the Abuja-Kaduna railway contract, including poorly fixed tracks and the alleged use of second-hand coaches.
