Nigerian Railway Corporation denies suspension of Warri-Itakpe train service

The Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) has denied suspending the Warri- Itakpe train service as speculated in some quarters.

According to the NRC, the Warri- Itakpe train service is fully operational as scheduled,

The Corporation however added that there is a temporary suspension of the passenger train stoppage at Ajaokuta station due to communal clashes pending restoration of peace in the area.

Similarly, in compliance with the Minister of Transportation Mr Mua’azu Sambo’s directive, the Abuja to Kaduna passenger train service remains suspended until all the passengers held hostage as a result of the train attack by bandits are completely released to their relations and the additional security system is put in place to avoid reoccurrence.

In addition, the Lagos to kano express passenger train will not resume operation following suspected bandits’ presence along the Minna to Kaduna rail corridor in the North Western district of the Corporation.
