The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has reported an overwhelming demand for its services following the introduction of an extra train trip on Thursday, June 5, ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir (Sallah) celebration.
The special service, which was added to accommodate the increased passengers demand along the Lagos-Ibadan, Warri-Itakpe, and Abuja-Kaduna corridors, witnessed massive turn-out of commuters who embraced the additional opportunity to travel comfortably, safely and on schedule.
According to the Managing Director of NRC, Dr. Kayode Opeifa, the extra trip was initiated in response to feedback and requests from passengers who rely heavily on train services for their intercity travels.
“The large turnout underscores the importance of rail in national mobility and we are committed to expanding our services to meet the growing needs of Nigerians,” he stated.
NRC thanked its passengers for their trust and patronage and assures the public of continued efforts to improve service delivery, safety and customer satisfaction across all corridors.
