The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced the suspension of the Port Harcourt-Aba train service.
The Managing Director of NRC, Dr. Kayode Opeifa, said the service was suspended due to maintenance.
He added that regular train services would resume on the train corridor on September 9, 2025.
The statement by Opeifa reads: “Port-Harcourt to Aba train services suspended for routine maintenance. To resume regular train services on the 9th of September 2025. We regret all inconveniences”.
The management of NRC also suspended the Abuja-Kaduna train services in August after a Kaduna-bound train derailed at Asham station with 618 persons on board.
Not less than seven passengers sustained varying degrees of injury from the accident.
