The Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC, has assured that it would address ticket racketeering at the Abuja-Kaduna Train Service, AKTS. This was contained in a statement by the Deputy Director of Public Relations of NRC, Mr Yakub Mahmood, on Saturday in Lagos.
Mahmood said information has reached the management of the NRC on passengers' difficulties in obtaining tickets online resulting in ticket racketeering on the AKTS in recent times. To arrest the situation, he said the management had set up a team headed by the deputy director of ICT to investigate.
He appealed to the general public, especially the passengers, to bear with the NRC, saying that the situation would soon be controlled. “In the meantime, the Managing Director of NRC, Mr Freeborn Okhiria, has directed Mr Mohammed Modibo Ibrahim to report and take over as the Manager of the AKTS with immediate effect. “The Managing Director also directed the director of the operation to increase train service frequencies on the route within the next two weeks,” he said.
