RAIL TRANSPORT ON WARRI- ITAKPE CORRIDOR SAFE, OPERATIONAL - NRC.

The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has assured the public that rail transport on the Warri-Itakpe corridor is safe and operational. 

The NRC's Acting Deputy Director of Public Relations, NRC, Callistus Unyimadu, gave the assurance in a statement on Monday in Lagos, following a viral social media message warning people to avoid train travel due to alleged safety concerns.

Unyimadu explained that a temporary removal of some rail clips at a specific location was promptly detected and rectified by their maintenance team. 

Reiterating its commitment to safety and security, stating that all necessary protocols were followed to ensure the integrity of train operations, the NRC urges the public to disregard the viral message and continue using train services with confidence. 

Assuring that services on the Warri-Itakpe corridor and other NRC routes remain safe, reliable, and fully operational, the corporation advised assengers to rely on official communication channels for updates and travel advisories.
