Lagos: The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) says it will operate three train trips on the Lagos–Ibadan Train Service (LITS) corridor on Monday, March 23, to accommodate increased passenger demand during the Eid‑el‑Fitr celebrations.
This is contained in a statement issued on Friday in Lagos by the NRC Chief Public Relations Officer, Mr Callistus Unyimadu.
He said the additional trip was due to high passenger demand during the Eid-el-Fitr travel period.
“The extra trip is aimed at easing passenger movement and providing more travel options for commuters returning after the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
According to the schedule, departures from Lagos (Mobolaji Johnson Station, Ebute Metta) are at 7.45 a.m., 1.40 p.m., and 4.00 p.m.
“From Ibadan (Obafemi Awolowo Station, Moniya), trains will depart at 8.00 a.m., 10.50 a.m., and 4.30 p.m,” he said.
Unyimadu assured passengers of NRC’s continued commitment to safe, reliable, and efficient rail services.
He advised travellers to arrive early, comply with ticketing and security procedures, and plan their journeys.
“We appreciate passengers’ continued patronage and wish everyone a safe journey.”
