Railways Africa
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has introduced first class coaches on trains running in Lagos. According to NRC managing director Adeseyi Sijuwade: “The introduction of these coaches will go a long mileage in correcting the impression that the train is an exclusive means of transportation for the poor.
It will also reduce the number of vehicles on the road as more vehicles owners will embrace the train service which is as good, safe and pocket-friendly as other means of transportation, while they park their cars at home.†NRC is undertaking a total modernisation of its infrastructure. It has resumed train services in Kano and hopes to do the same in other cities such as Port Harcourt, Jos, Enugu and Maiduguri.
