Federal Government through the Ministry of Transportation has declared that passenger trains across the Nigerian Railway Corporation system will be free of charge during the Yuletide.
According to a communique from the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), this gesture is to enable Nigerians to travel and celebrate conveniently.
Expatiating on the kind gesture, the spokesman for the corporation, Yakub Mahmood, said passengers trains on both standard and narrow gauge lines, which include Abuja to Kaduna, Lagos to Ibadan, Warri to Itakpe, Kano to Lagos, Minna to Kaduna and Abba to Port Harcourt routes are now free from Friday 24th December 2021 to Tuesday 4th January 2022.
The NRC, however, noted that all boarding tickets-due process must be complied with and COVID-19 protocols strictly observed on board.
Wishing Nigerians a happy Christmas and prosperous New Year, the corporation also called for prayers for the country.
