The management of the Warri-Itakpe train service of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) says it is determined to tackle and resolve every ticket and pricing malpractice issue involving its staff.
This is contained in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja by Sanni Abdulganiyu, the coordinator of the Warri-Itakpe Train Service.
