The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has said that intending passengers who wish to board the free train service as announced by the President, will register online and obtain the tickets for free as those without tickets will not be allowed to board the train.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu had on Wednesday declared that passengers’ services from Thursday December 21, 2023 to Thursday, January 4, 2024, will be free.
In compliance with the presidential directive, the NRC in a statement signed by its management, said: “passengers are advised to obtain their free tickets via the online e-ticketing platforms only. Tickets will not be issued at any of the corporation’s train stations.
“Please note that no commuter will be allowed to board the train without a ticket. We enjoined commuters to be orderly, obey security personnel and the laid down boarding instructions
of the NRC and those of its officials while at the station and on-board the trains.
“We wish all our esteemed customers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance.”
