Railway lines in Nigeria will commence operations soon says Tukur

Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, the Board Chairman of
Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), on Monday
said all the railway lines in the country would
commence operations soon.
Tukur disclosed this while briefing newsmen in
Port Harcourt.
He said the corporation had concluded plans to
commence operation along Port Harcourt – Enugu
railway lines to enhance rail transportation in the
zone.
The chairman said the rehabilitated South-Eastern
railway terminals would promote easy and
affordable transportation of people and agricultural
produce across the region.

“Our railway transportation system has long been
moribund but President Goodluck Jonathan’s led
administration has revived the system.
“Nigerian Railway Corporation is no longer what it
used to be, we are no longer using analogue
locomotive engines, and our facilities are up to
date in line with global standard.
“NRC has acquired digitalised trains and coaches
to enhance efficient services to Nigerians’’, he
said.
