By 2024’s second quarter, the Nigeria Railway Corporation intends to start operating at night.
In a conversation with reporters, Fidet Okhiria, the Managing Director of NRC, disclosed this.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the NRC DG stated that the company will begin running six rail trips on the standard gauge train every day on a nationwide basis as a result of the development.
The NRC DG said, “What 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.
