Abuja–Kaduna train service to resume Monday — FGN
The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) on Thursday announced that services along the Abuja–Kaduna rail corridor would resume on Monday, December 5, 2022.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) had on March 29, 2022, suspended train service along the route after terrorists attacked a Kaduna-bound train in Katar, Kaduna State, on March 28, 2022, killing several and abducting scores of passengers.
But on Thursday, the Managing Director of NRC, Fidet Okhiria, said all was set for the resumption of the services.
Okhiria advised passengers wishing to utilise the service to commence an update of their mobile app from December 3, to enable them successfully book for the ride.
