The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) taking such proactive steps to improve rail transport in the country. The commitment to adding more coaches and increasing train frequency will likely address many of the common challenges that passengers face, like overcrowding and long wait times. Having public figures like Daddy Showkey involved in this initiative also adds an element of community engagement, making the experience more enjoyable for passengers even during delays.
Daddy Showkey’s endorsement of Dr. Kayode Opeifa’s leadership and his recognition of the Warri-Itakpe route’s potential shows how rail transport could be further utilized, not only for passenger travel but also for freight, including agricultural goods. The increased demand and support for frequent train services highlight the untapped potential of rail in Nigeria, particularly as a safe, affordable, and efficient transport option.
With more people on board, literally and figuratively, it seems like the Nigerian Railway Corporation has a promising future in enhancing mobility across the nation. What are your thoughts on the improvements being made? Would you consider using the train more often if services continue to improve?
