The management of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) has declared free train service for all commuters across the country.
The
Managing Director of the NRC, Mr Fidet Okhiria, made the announcement
on Wednesday in Rigasa, Kaduna State in Nigeria’s northeast region.
He
said the free train service, which would last for two weeks, would
enable Nigerians know that the corporation was fully set for commercial
services.
Speaking after inspecting the railway facilities put in
place by the corporation, Mr Okhiria advised Nigerians to de-congest
the highways.
He urged them to embrace the use of train services for the transportation of goods and passengers.
Complementing
the NRC boss’ appeal, the project supervisor at the construction site,
Mr Lv Feng, assured all commuters of safety and efficient service.
