The Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) has refuted report of attempted stealing of railway coaches in Maiduguri, Borno state.
Mr. Fidet Okhiria, the Managing Director of the Commission stated this in a statement in Lagos state.
“The attention of the Nigeria Railway Corporation has been drawn to a news trending on numerous social media platforms purported to have emanated from Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), in which it was reported that attempt was made to steal NRC coaches from Maiduguri.
“NRC management wishes to clarify this erroneous reportage by stating that the said coaches are officially being moved to NRC running shed in Jos, Plateau to be overhauled and putting them back to operation,” he said.
Okhiria said that NRC was trying to extend Rail Mass Transit all over the country.
