The Nigerian Railway Corporation has announced the postponement of the Lagos-Kano train service initially scheduled to start on August 13.
The Managing Director of the NRC, Fidet Okhiria, in a statement issued on Thursday, cited a damaged rail track as the reason behind the postponement.
Okhiria revealed that the damage to the rail track was caused by a downpour around Power Line in Oshogbo, Osun State during the week.
According to him, a team of experts from NRC had mobilised to the site and was working round the clock to restore the damaged track.
The MD also revealed that a new date for resumption of the Lagos-Kano Train Service would be announced soon.
Okhiria noted that the management of NRC regretted the inconvenience the postponement would cause for passengers and customers alike.
