The Federal Government says it would increase the number of trains plying the Abuja-Kaduna route to run a train per hour before the end of this year.
The Managing Director of Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC Freeborn Okhiria said this as part of activities of the Belt and Road Initiative’s celebration to mark one thousand days of smooth operations of the rail system in Nigeria.
He added that the increase in the number of trains was in response to complaints by Nigerians.
The Corporation’s Boss also said that the Federal Government had begun creating an e-ticket system to ease the burden of passengers. He added that the e-ticketing system would also be developed bearing the future in mind.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation Sabiu Zakari, confirmed that the Federal Government was in the final stages of compliance with the e-ticket system.
