The Federal Government has called on the Rivers State Government to actively participate in operating the Port Harcourt–Aba railway corridor as part of broader efforts to revitalise rail transportation in Nigeria.
This appeal was made by Dr. Kayode Opeifa, Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), during an inspection visit to the Port Harcourt railway station on Tuesday, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The visit was part of a wider assessment of the Eastern rail corridor, which spans from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri, and from Port Harcourt to Warri.
