The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced additional train services for the Lagos-Ibadan route and a special festive operation on the Warri-Itakpe corridor as part of efforts to accommodate increased passenger traffic during the Eid-al-Kabir celebrations.
According to the NRC, an extra trip has been added to the Lagos-Ibadan Train Service (LITS) on Thursday, June 5, 2025. The move is aimed at easing the pressure on travellers commuting between the two cities during the Muslim holiday period.
The revised Thursday schedule is as follows:
Lagos to Ibadan:
8:00 a.m.
1:55 p.m. (Additional Trip)
4:00 p.m.
Ibadan to Lagos:
8:00 a.m.
11:03 a.m. (Additional Trip)
4:46 p.m. (Note: this is a revised departure time from the original 4:00 p.m.)
In addition to the Lagos-Ibadan service, the NRC will operate a special train on the Warri-Itakpe route, which is normally reserved for routine maintenance on Thursdays.
The management has rescheduled maintenance operations on the corridor to Sunday, June 8, 2025, to accommodate this special service.
Meanwhile, the Abuja-Kaduna Train Service (AKTS) will continue to run on its regular schedule, with additional coaches attached to cater to the increased passenger volume expected during the festive period.
Managing Director of NRC, Dr. Kayode Opeifa, assured passengers of a seamless travel experience and reiterated the Corporation’s commitment to efficient and customer-oriented service delivery.
“We wish all passengers a safe and pleasant journey as they travel to celebrate with their loved ones. NRC remains committed to providing safe and reliable railway transport across the country,” he said.
The NRC urged passengers to make use of the additional trips and adhere to all safety protocols during their travels
