FG Begins Free Warri To Abuja Rail Service Till December From Aladja To Itakpe by Officialpdpnig: 8:05am On Nov 07, 2018
Sunday Okobi

The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has commenced passengers’ train services on the Warri-Owa-Oyibu-Itakpe railway line which was initially meant to haul iron sheets from one end to the other.

During the recent tour of the standard gauge line which runs from Delta State and terminates in Kogi State with various stops in Edo State by the management of the corporation in Owa-Oyibu, THISDAY learnt that the service would commence in the first week of November free of charge for one month.


The Managing Director of NRC, Mr. Fridet Okhiria, while chatting with select journalists, urged the residents of the adjoining communities to take adequate advantage of the train services provided for them by the corporation in order to attract development to their communities as well as ease their burden on the roads.

The train ride, which would take about 4 to 5 hours from one end to the other, and have a complete checkup for about an hour before taking off again, according to Okhiria, is centrally aimed at easing the suffering of the people in navigating their place of work, home and for leisure.

According to him, “NRC is commencing a free train ride operation from Itakpe to Warri by November which will run for one month. The coaches are super comfortable even for those who want to read, relax and have fun. The development will also allow the people in the connecting communities to reinvest themselves in small scale businesses and grow the economy of the areas and Nigeria at large. It will be cheaper because rail services are the cheapest means of transportation because of the huge number of people and goods involved.


“The government wants to provide these services affordably for the people and we are not limiting them to the townships alone but also for goods and services as well as livestock for those in the rural areas. It will also collaborate with the road to make movement of people easier.”

My party abandoned these rails for 16 years but Mr President has revived and completed it and is now running a one month free service from warri to Abuja.

I am so disappointed in my party. All noise, no substance unlike this present administration who makes less noise yet has been achieving much more in 4 years than my party ever did in our 16years

Its called sensitization and not desperation. This is done in most countries just to create awareness to the service. The more the awareness, the more the patronage. The more the patronage, the more the money made by the FG. As the FG makes more money it translates to easier and cheaper means of moving goods and services around for those in Abuja or Warri.

If you are going to be a political troll, at least, be an educated one.

Google is your friend hombre, just google which administrations revamped the rails in Nigeria.

You're welcome.

It doesn't matter.

After all, Gej built free Almajiri schools all over the north, but did it stop Nigerians from voting him out ?

So who finished it in 4 years doesn't matter but you want the one you claimed revamped it yet couldn't finish it in 16years to suddenly matter.

GEJ and my party all failed. Deal with it. I have accepted we are failures as a party and it has helped me with the pain of seeing how progressive our opposition is.

They keep breaking records while all we do is lament as a party. Shame on us

Oga we know U are jus anoda BMC... U don't have to masquerade as a PDP supporter to b a ZonB... Feel confident in what U are abi ZonB dey shame?

Do you know that aladja is very far from warri?
Do you also know that due to the crises between ogbe-ijoh and aladja, it is unsafe to go to aladja?
So because of free train ride I should risk my life

I don't see any reason for arguments because records are there for you to access. Saying PDP failed is just a mere sentimental argument compared to a government that has crumbled the nation just within four years in power.

PDP failed. End of story!

PDP also were responsible for crumbling this economy with our 16 years of lootocratic government.

Deal with it

Will there be something to finish if it wasn't started?

Just give credit to whom it is due. While you're making a living being a BMC agent, do so with sense and decorum.

Was it PDP who started it? This was abandoned for 30years. Was PDP in power 30 years ago?

Just speak sensibly if at all you wish to speak.

When you people come with your usual GEJ started it nonsense I just laugh because it shows how shallow my fellow PDP supporters are.

Was it GEJ or PDP who began and abandoned this 30 years ago?

Is GEJ not a part and parcel of my party PDP again?

Isn't credit to GEJ no longer credit to PDP?

You earlier wanted credit to go to PDP as the revamper when in your ignorance you never knew it was abandoned for 30years.

You see, i have come to realise that when trying to defend my party PDP I need to tell a lot of lies as you have been doing and as someone with a conscience, I have chosen not to lie any longer because PDP will not rescue me when I stand before God on judgement day to account for all the lies I told on their behalf
