The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced the commencement of operations at the Aremo Olusegun Osoba Station, located in Olodo, Odeda Local Government Area, Ogun State, along the Lagos-Ibadan Train Service (LITS) route.
The station, named after former Ogun State Governor Aremo Olusegun Osoba, is now open to the public, enhancing connectivity and accessibility for passengers travelling along this vital corridor.
The announcement was made via the NRC’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday.
“Aremo Olusegun Osoba Station (Olodo) is now open for operational use on Lagos- Ibadan Train Service (LITS),” the tweet read.
The opening of the station marks a significant milestone in the NRC’s efforts to improve rail transportation.
Strategically positioned along the Lagos-Ibadan rail line, it provides passengers with modern facilities for a comfortable travel experience while supporting regional economic growth and connectivity.
The Lagos-Ibadan Train Service has been a vital link in reducing travel time, alleviating road congestion, and fostering economic activity. The addition of the Aremo Olusegun Osoba Station further strengthens these benefits.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has been advancing its efforts to optimize operations and expand the Lagos-Ibadan Train Service (LITS).
Additionally, the NRC announced in November 2024 the introduction of an extra weekend trip on the LITS route, increasing Friday and Saturday trips from two to three.
This move provides greater travel flexibility for commuters while meeting the rising demand for rail services.
