The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with five tertiary institutions aimed at strengthening the country’s railway technology capacity through local training, skills development, and technology transfer.
The agreement, signed on Monday in Lagos, is expected to provide hands-on learning, enable career growth for NRC staff, and reduce Nigeria’s dependence on foreign training by fostering in-country expertise in rail systems.
The five institutions involved in the partnership include Yaba College of Technology, Kwara State Polytechnic, Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kaduna Polytechnic, and Trinity University, Lagos.
