“Accordingly, ticket fares on all NRC passenger train services across the country have been reduced by 50% of the existing approved rates within the stated period.
“Passengers who had earlier purchased tickets at the full fare before the announcement will be entitled to a 50% rebate, reusable for train rides on or before Monday, June 1, 2026.
“Train schedules and timetables remain as previously advertised.
“The Federal Ministry of Transportation appreciates the continued support of Nigerians and wishes all passengers and the Muslim faithful a peaceful and joyous Eid-el-Kabir celebration,” a statement by Engr.
