Railway Corporation Declares Free Train Service Across Nigeria For 2 Weeks by rry807: 6:25am On Jun 23, 2016


The management of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) has declared free train service for all commuters across the country.



The Managing Director of the NRC, Mr Fidet Okhiria, made the announcement on Wednesday in Rigasa, Kaduna State in Nigeria’s northeast region.

He said the free train service, which would last for two weeks, would enable Nigerians know that the corporation was fully set for commercial services.

Speaking after inspecting the railway facilities put in place by the corporation, Mr Okhiria advised Nigerians to de-congest the highways.

He urged them to embrace the use of train services for the transportation of goods and passengers.

Complementing the NRC boss’ appeal, the project supervisor at the construction site, Mr Lv Feng, assured all commuters of safety and efficient service.

If you know you are my friend who resides in any city there's a train station, I'm sorry but please expect me very soon uninvited.

Nigerians are beginning to reap the dividends of change and a sincere government.

While some who are better off, or do not have access to train services might underplay the significance; the masses who even endanger their lives by hanging off such rains or sitting on the roof due to their inability to afford fares, will surely appreciate this kind gesture from the government, and I encourage them to extend the gesture beyond the two weeks until the economic situation improves (if feasible).

Kudos Rotimi Ameachi, the Nigerian masses are thankful.

Senseless. It's better to charge low rates, because how will the railway be maintained and improved if you give free rides. Later they will be striking. Senseless things
