Backstory

Nairametrics reported earlier that Nigerian railway corporation revenue in Q1 2021 surged by 33% to N926.72 million compared to N698.4 million recorded in Q1 2020. The increase was largely attributed to the increase in the fare per trip, considering the year-on-year decline in the number of passengers conveyed through train in Q1 2021.

Also, Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) revealed that the corporation recorded 33,140 passenger traffic from the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge railway in the month of July.

Why this matters

The latest figures show that the rail transport system is growing in demand in Nigeria, with the number of train passengers surging in recent times and revenue skyrocketing, especially with the newly inaugurated Lagos-Ibadan railway project.

This increased adoption of train transport could help solve the road transport problems of accidents and intense traffic ravaging most highways in the southwestern parts of the country.

    Most of these government agencies are fond of coming to the public with half truth.
