Ahead of the Eid-El-Kabir festival and the expected passenger demand, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has added an extra trip to its Lagos- Ibadan Train Service (LITS) for June 5th, 2025.

A statement by Callistus Unyimadu, Ag. Deputy Director Public Relations, said the Lagos-Ibadan additional trip would operate by 1:55 pm while Ibadan- Lagos would be by 11:03 am.

Additionally, in the spirit of Eid-al-Kabir and to ensure smooth travel for Muslim faithful and other passengers on the Warri-Itakpe corridor, the NRC said it would operate a Special Train Service on Thursday, June 5, 2025, which would ordinarily be a non-operational day reserved for maintenance.

Consequently, routine maintenance activities originally scheduled for Thursday have been rescheduled to Sunday, June 8, 2025.

The normal Abuja – Kaduna (AKTS) will run as scheduled with additional coaches attached to it.

The Managing Director of NRC, Dr Kayode Opeifa, wished all passengers a pleasant and safe journey during the celebrations and assured the public of its continued commitment to providing safe, efficient and customer-focused railway services.
