In a bid to revamp the National Train service, the FG under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu has acquired new trains for the Lagos-Kano rail service.

The trains which will run on existing rail tracks will have stops at Ibadan, Osogbo, Offa, ilorin, mokwa, Minna, Kaduna, Zaria then Kano.

The last stop for the rail service is designed to be Maiduguri but that will be implemented much Later. No time frame was been announced for the recommencement of this project but reports say it should start sometime this year.

The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced that express services will soon commence on the Kano-Lagos narrow gauge.

The disclosure regarding the restoration of train service operations on the Kano-Lagos narrow gauge was made in a post by the NRC on its official X handle last Saturday.

“Kano-Lagos train services to commence operation soon,” the post read.
In addition to the above text, the NRC’s post on X also included a short video footage of a locomotive undergoing a test-run on the tracks.

In another related tweet, NRC noted that major repairs have been completed on the damaged portions of the Kano-Lagos narrow gauge, further affirming the imminent restoration of express train services on the route.

“Test-running of the Train after major repairs that have been carried out on the damaged portions of the rail tracks.
“The narrow-gauge Train services will be fully back in operation for the benefit of the Nigerian masses and easy transportation of goods and services in the country,” the tweet read.

One step at a time, we would drive through the storm and get Nigeria working either again or anew!

NRC please keep up the good work

I hope it will not be like the usual fake promises.
Anyway, Tinubu is a no nonsense President.

Ok Naa.
Good News.

The heading has an error

Cmmence

Most Aboki will rather prefer to share same truck with cows than pay for train

Have sense for once.

Ok

Hopefully, the security around the rails should be a major highlight.

Good one

We should be optimistic but it is going to be difficult to get the whole track monitored, before now, our rail services were safe. I hope our security outfits minimise the purgent occurrences.

Let's stay positive..

It's important they don't run night trips.

Fulani herdsmen taking notes

Better make these trains as fast as possible. Not that 40km/hr Lagos to Ibadan speed.

I enjoyed the ride on this express train back them. It's good if you want to explore Nigeria, only that it takes about 24hrs to arrive Kaduna from Lagos.

I hope it won't be another avenue for kidnappers

Lack of foresight. How many people are traveling to Kano from lagos vice versa?

Fulani bandits and kidnappers in bushes along Abuja to Lagos routes smiling and licking their lips over this news.
If you love you life avoid any train route from Abuja to Lagos.

Not everything must be criticised. It is a good news and this will foster development in the communities along the various Train Stations that would be revamped in the process. There would be challenges no doubt, but that should not be the reason why we should not strive to develop as a nation.

How many people can afford air travel in the country? the other best alternative for us is to travel by rail. May God make it a reality soon.

You are an enemy of Nigeria general wike will handle it he is no nonsense governor

Sure, we have sleeper coaches then with a/c, don't know if such will be provided now.

BABANGBALI:
do you know that if you are fast during the journey, you can catch and fok babes inside the train?

Realdeals:

so, did you fok any babe dat time?

Good!
We just need Train services and Power for Nigeria to move forward.

With these two, every other thing will fall in place.

You're obviously naive, no insult. Business men laughing at you right now

It's the MOST IMPORTANT Rail transportation for goods and services between North and South.

I'm happy so happy

That track is not even meant for speed. From Lagos to kano will take 3 to 4 days. That track should be converted to freight purposes.
