Nigerian Railway Corporation to Run Special Year-End Train Services

As the festive season approaches, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced plans to operate special train services across the country. This initiative, directed by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Transportation, aims to make travel affordable and enjoyable for Nigerians celebrating Christmas and New Year.

In a statement released by the NRC’s Deputy Director of Public Relations, Yakub Mahmood, the corporation assured the public that details of the schedule and other arrangements for these special services will be shared soon.

The Federal Government has consistently supported affordable travel during the holidays. Last year, travelers enjoyed a 50% discount on interstate bus fares and free train rides between December 21, 2023, and January 4, 2024. Over 112,000 Nigerians benefitted from these initiatives.

For this year, reports suggest a similar effort is underway to ensure citizens can reconnect with family and friends without the financial burden of high travel costs.

The NRC’s special train services will cover scheduled passenger routes nationwide, offering citizens a reliable and affordable travel option during the holidays. According to the statement, this move reflects the government’s commitment to enhancing the festive experience for Nigerians.

The NRC also extended warm holiday wishes to its passengers, saying, “We wish all our esteemed customers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance.”

Details of the train schedules, routes, and any potential discounts will be communicated in the coming days. This initiative is expected to provide a safe, comfortable, and affordable way for Nigerians to celebrate the season with their loved ones.

Stay tuned for updates and plan your travel early to take full advantage of these special services.

Wishing everyone a joyous and memorable festive season!
