The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced a series of special train services across major routes nationwide to ease travel pressure during the upcoming Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
The Chief Public Relations Officer, Callistus Unyimadu, announced this on Wednesday, saying the temporary arrangements were aimed at providing “seamless, safe, and efficient” transportation amid the expected surge in passenger traffic.
According to the NRC, additional trips would be deployed on key corridors, including Lagos–Ibadan and Abuja–Kaduna, to accommodate increased demand.
It also announced a partnership with the Osun State Government to operate the “Imole Special Train,” which will convey indigenes from Iddo Station in Lagos to Osogbo free of charge.
