The Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) announced on Sunday that it would reduce the number of trips on the Abuja-Kaduna route from October 19-21.

Its Managing Director, Fidet Okhiria, said that the reduction in the number of trips was to carry out scheduled maintenance.

He stated that rather than the daily 10 trips, there would be four trips only on October 19 and on October 20.

He added that on Thursday, October 21, there would be eight trips.

“Full train services will resume on Friday, October 22,” Mr Okhiria assured.

The NRC management apologised for inconveniences the reduction in the number of trips might cause to passengers.

The NRC introduced an additional Diesel Multiple Unit on the route recently which increased the number of train trips from eight to 10 per day.
