The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), on Tuesday announced plans to rejig Lagos-Kano line and other abandon tracks.
This was disclosed in a statement read by the Director, Mechanical Services and Signal Communication of NRC, Mr Jerry Oche in Lagos.
According to Oche, the NRC is also geared to reactivate old narrow guage networks in the East, with focus on the Portharcourt to Maiduguri line.
He said the corporation’s goal of bringing back abandoned networks on stream is progressing significantly. He also assured Nigerians of railroad activities in abandon places.
“We are also adding more routes, like the new intra-city train in Jos, the one in Kaduna, and several others.
“The Lagos-Kano, which is 1,343 kilometres, is coming back on stream, and with the support of the minister, a lot of these train routes are coming back,” he said.
“Also, NRC Civil Engineers are working on the track, preparatory to the introduction of the Jos intra-city mass transit train in Jos, Plateau,” he added.
