Train services along the Kaduna-Abuja route have resumed operations after services were halted for eight months and seven days by the Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC.


Rail passengers were glad to be back on the tracks as they travelled from Kaduna to Abuja.

The suspension followed a terrorist attack that left at least 8 people dead, injured 26 others, and more than 60 passengers were kidnapped.

The first train departed the station today at 8:00am and arrived the Idu terminal in Abuja at around 10 am.
