The Nigeria Railway Corporation, NRC, has concluded plans to kickstart night operations before the second quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n
The Managing Director of NRC, Fidet Okhiria, disclosed this during a recent interview with NAN.<\/p>\n
However, he said insecurity is the major hindrance to the commencement of night operations.<\/p>\n
He stated that, \u201cwhat is limiting us is the night operations, and that is not the way trains should operate. The train is meant to operate at all times. People may like to travel in the evening, but because of the security situation in the country, we limit ourselves to the daytime.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe intend to bring back passenger and freight trains from Port-Harcourt to Aba, Lagos to Kano, and Kaduna because of the dry ports.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to increase the number of train trips to six on Lagos-Ibadan, Warri-Itakpe, and Abuja-Kaduna, which means the trips will be three times to and three times from, making six trips in a day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe trips will commence before the second quarter of 2024 Right now, they are running four trips\u2014two up and two down across the board\u201d, Okhiria said.<\/p>\n
