The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced that train services between Abuja and Kaduna would resume on Tuesday, January 31, 2023.
This comes just a few days after the NRC halted operations on the route due to a train disaster.
In a statement issued on Monday, Niyi Alli, NRC’s director of operations, announced the restoration of Abuja-Kaduna train services.
“The board and management of Nigerian Railway Corporation are pleased to announce the recommencement of the Abuja-Kaduna train service,” the statement reads.
“The service was suspended on January 27, due to the derailment that occurred at Kubwa station on the same date.
“Subsequently, the service will resume on January 31, with the following daily schedule — KA2 departs Rigasa at 0700; AK1 departs Idu at 10.00; KA4 departs Rigasa at 13.00; AK3 departs Idu at 16.00.
“However, on Wednesdays, only KA2 will depart Rigasa at 0700 and AK 3 will depart Idu at 16.00.”
Alli also said NRC “regrets any inconvenience the corporation’s passengers might have experienced as a result of the temporary suspension of the service.”
