The Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced a
reduction in the number of trips on the Abuja-Kaduna rail service for three
days due to scheduled maintenance.
Fidet Okhiria, NRC’s managing director, said this in a
statement released on Sunday.
Okhiria said that the reduction in the number of trips would
take effect from October 19 to 21.
The NRC MD explained that there would only be four trips
rather than the daily 10 trips on the first two days.
He added that on October 21, the number of trips would be
eight, assuring that “full train services will resume on October 22″.
The NRC management apologised for inconveniences the
reduction in the number of trips might cause passengers.
The 187 km standard gauge line between Kaduna and Abuja,
which President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated on July 26, 2016, had suffered a
handful of mechanical faults since it began operations.
The recent one was a mechanical fault on June 28, when
passengers were stranded a few kilometres away from the train station in
Rigasa, Kaduna state.
