Train operations to resume shortly on Warri–Itakpe Corridor

The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced that train operations on the Warri–Itakpe rail corridor will resume shortly, following the near-completion of critical track repairs that had temporarily halted services.

In a statement issued by its Chief Public Relations Officer, Callistus Unyimadu, the NRC assured passengers and the general public that work on the affected sections of the track is at an advanced stage. The suspension, which was implemented to allow for urgent maintenance, was aimed at ensuring continued passenger safety, reliability, and comfort on the line.

“The Corporation is pleased to announce that work on the affected sections has reached an advanced stage, and normal train movement will recommence in the shortest possible time,” the statement said.

Although an exact resumption date was not provided, the NRC confirmed that an official announcement will be made soon.

The Corporation expressed appreciation for the patience and understanding of its passengers during the service interruption and reiterated its commitment to delivering safe, efficient, and reliable railway transport across the country
