Warri-Itakpe rail transport service resumed on Monday after an accident on Thursday last week.
Recall that around 6:45 am on Monday, several
passengers were already at the Ujevwe trail station facility purchasing
tickets.
Earlier, on Sunday, the Minister of Transportation, Senator
Ahmed Alkali assured passengers of safety.
Speaking while inspecting the Agbor-Abraka train station, he announced that the Warri-Itakpe train operation was set to resume on Monday.
“We are happy that the incident did not lead to any
casualty, it is an operational issue and we are happy to see that NRC has used
its internal resources to fix the track.
“By tomorrow Monday, the train will resume its operation. We
thanked God that the accident did not claim any life”, he said.
Recall that a coach of the Itakpe train derailed on Thursday
at the Major Gen. David Ejor rail station.
Consequently, the Nigerian Railway Corporation suspended
train service on the Warri-Itakpe route for Friday.
