| NRC Rescinds Decision To Shut Down Rail Service by etokhana: 11:31pm On Mar 21, 2020 |
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has rescinded the earlier decision to shut down train services nationwide. The corporation had in a statement by its spokesman, Yakub Mahmood, announced the shutdown of all passenger train services with effect from Monday due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It said the board and management of the corporation approved the shutdown which affects all train services including Abuja-Kaduna train. However, in a message sent to our correspondent, Mahmood said the board and management “have reviewed the situation and decided to provide passengers train services with the listed conditionalities…” According to him, passengers would provide full names, address, date of birth and means of identity. “We enjoin all passengers to please cooperate with any other measures put in place to protect ourselves from ourselves,” the statement said. Our correspondent learnt that the decision to rescind the earlier announcement was informed by the intervention of some highly placed Nigerians who patronized the Abuja-Kaduna train. A source said, “It was impressed on the NRC board that shutting down all train services including the highly patronised Abuja-Kaduna train would not augur well in view of the security situation on the road.” https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/covid-19-nrc-rescinds-decision-to-shut-down-rail-service.html |

Your safety is your personal responsibility. NRC might resume train service but nobody will force anybody to board the train. Therefore, every intending passenger must weigh the health risks involved in using the train and make crucial ' to go or not to go' decision in view of COVID-19 pandemic. |

A source said, “It was impressed on the NRC board that shutting down all train services including the highly patronised Abuja-Kaduna train would not augur well in view of the security situation on the road.” Lol the road bandits are still working hard during Wu Flu season. Can't this supposedly high placed individual work from home? I'd find it disconcerting some money bags individual could make government change policy that easily. 1 Like |

The government need to be extremely careful in continuing exposing people to the covid-19. All avenues that can bring about the spread of the covid-19 must be cut off totally for now. |
