The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced that the Warri-Itakpe Train Service (WITS) will officially resume operations on Wednesday, October 29, following a temporary suspension to allow for essential maintenance and safety checks.
Callistus Unyimadu, NRC’s Chief Public Relations Officer, issued a statement explaining that the suspension was necessary to carry out critical repairs, maintenance, and system inspections on the track and rolling stock.
The measures, he said, were aimed at ensuring greater passenger comfort, reliability, and safety.
The statement also announced that the NRC’s online booking portal will reopen at 12 noon on Monday, October 27, about 48 hours before the resumption of full service.
According to Mr Unyimadu, operations will recommence with seven coaches, made up of six standard-class and one business-class coach.
The NRC extended its apologies to passengers and stakeholders for any inconvenience experienced during the period of suspension and expressed appreciation for their patience and understanding.
