The railways are not doing well. Abuja to Kaduna runs only two trips despite the high demand. Seasonal subsidies isn't a bad idea but longevity of the service should be paramount 4 Likes |

Teelabo:Don't mind Tinubu. He should have subsidized the aforementioned like Senegal did two or three years ago. At least Senegal that even reduced taxes are still enjoying till now. Their economy is booming to the extent that IMF and World Bank are begging them to come and collect loans. Abi no be so? |

dre11:That's share tokenism in my view. Travelers are in reality supposed to pay FULL fares under normal circumstances in order to keep NRC afloat and also to make profits. Period. Except if the trains have already been configured to run on CNG fuel like the NRC boss (the well-read former Lagos State Commissioner of Transportation) stated that they planned to do last year, then this reduced 50% fares would have made more sense to me. 1 Like 1 Share |
