The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced that express services will soon commence on the Kano-Lagos narrow gauge.

The disclosure regarding the restoration of train service operations on the Kano-Lagos narrow gauge was made in a post by the NRC on its official X handle last Saturday.

  • “Kano-Lagos train services to commence operation soon,” the post read.

In addition to the above text, the NRC’s post on X also included a short video footage of a locomotive undergoing a test-run on the tracks.

  • “The narrow-gauge Train services will be fully back in operation for the benefit of the Nigerian masses and easy transportation of goods and services in the country,” the tweet read.

  • Nairametrics previously reported that Fidet Okhiria, the Managing Director of the NRC, disclosed during an end-of-year interactive session in December 2023 that the Corporation was laying tracks on damaged portions of the Kano-Lagos narrow gauge corridor.
  • Additionally, he revealed the successful relocation of locomotives and wagons to Minna, destined for Kaduna, in preparation for restoring operations on the Kano-Lagos corridor.
  • The NRC boss projected the commencement of express train services on the Kano-Lagos corridor before the end of December 2023, however, that did not happen.
