President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the extension of the Yuletide free train service till Sunday, January 7, 2024. Tinubu said this is meant to allow more Nigerians who are yet to return to their stations following the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The Managing Director, Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Mr Fidet Okhiria, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Thursday
Okhiria commended the Federal Government on the extension, adding that the gesture would bring relief to travelers on transportation costs.
Recall that the NRC had announced the commencement of the free train rides on Dec. 21, 2023, for all its passenger services, following the directive of President Bola Tinubu.
The free service was initially to end on Thursday, before the extension till Sunday.
This decision comes after a successful first leg of the initiative, with over 163,000 Nigerians taking advantage of the free rides.
Recognizing the continued travel needs of many, President Tinubu directed the extension to ensure everyone can utilize this convenient and cost-effective travel option.
The extension applies to all three routes currently in operation by the Nigerian Railway Corporation:
Lagos-Ibadan
Warri-Itakpe
Abuja-Kaduna
Passengers are encouraged to take full advantage of this unique opportunity, emphasizing the government’s commitment to promoting the welfare and well-being of its citizens.
