The Federal Government, through the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), says train operations on the Warri–Itakpe corridor will soon resume after a temporary suspension.
In a statement on Friday, Callistus Unyimadu, NRC chief public relations officer, said services were suspended to allow urgent repairs on critical sections of the track.
“Operations were temporarily suspended on the train service to enable us to carry out urgent and critical track repairs aimed at guaranteeing the safety, reliability, and comfort of passengers,” he said.
Unyimadu said repairs had reached an advanced stage, and normal services would recommence “in the shortest possible time”.
He commended passengers for their patience during the disruption and assured them that NRC remained committed to providing safe, efficient, and reliable rail services nationwide.
He added that the corporation would communicate the exact date for resumption in due course.
