The Nigeria Railway Corporation says it has completed preparations to begin night operations in the second quarter of 2024.
The NRC’s Managing Director, Fidet Okhiria, stated this in an interview on Monday.
He explained that the night operations are limiting the corporation as trains are designed to continue indefinitely.
He also noted that due to the security situation in the country, the trains only travel during the day.
He explained further that the railway corporation intends to bring back passenger and goods trains from Port-Harcourt to Aba, Lagos to Kano and Kaduna because of the dry ports.
According to the NRC DG, this merely means that the business will start running six rail excursions per day on the standard gauge train across the board.
