NRC Opens Rail Tracks to Private Train Operators

Operators will be required to provide their own locomotives, wagons and other rolling stock, while paying the corporation a fee to use the publicly built rail infrastructure. NRC Managing Director Kayode Opeifa said the move is intended to allow more operators into rail transport rather than leaving train operations solely to the corporation.
