The Nigerian Government has announced that the Port Harcourt to Aba train service will commence operations by the end of March 2024.
Fidet Okhiria, managing director of Nigeria Railway Corporation, NRC, disclosed this in Port Harcourt after leading a delegation to test-run the reconstructed Eastern Narrow Gauge Rail line.
According to him, workers were finishing the tracks to ensure full train operation could begin within the month.
“Despite resource challenges, the contractors are doing their best, and our goal is to achieve this within the next two weeks.
“With this, we aim to commence passenger train services, hopefully within March and fully resume transporting people from Port Harcourt to Aba by the end of March,” he said.
