NRC TAKES DELIVERY OF CARGO TRAIN IN LAGOS.

The Nigerian railway corporation has taken the
delivery of yet another round of 17 locomotive driven
containers from Kano state, in Lagos, on.

The Managing Director of the NRC,
Engineer Fidet Ohiria, who received the locomotive driven
containers in Lagos on Wednesday, said This is in continuation
and consolidation of freight services launched by the ministry
of transportation in June, 2024.

He said The cargo train which arrived Lagos at about noon on
Wednesday July 15, departed the Dala inland dry port Kano on
Friday, July 5. A journey that was made only during the
daytime.

The Nigerian government believes the cargo
haulage system will ease movement of goods from the ports to
the hinterlands, while reducing not only the numbers of
articulated vehicles on the Nigerian roads, but averting possible
mishaps.
