The free train services will run from December 20, 2024, to January 5, 2025.
This was announced by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, while addressing State House correspondents in Abuja.
Idris stated, “As we did last year, there will be free train service to all Nigerians from December 20 up until January 5, free train service nationwide.
“This is consistent with the President’s desire to cushion the effect of transportation, especially to the most vulnerable Nigerians.”
The minister recalled that similar initiatives were implemented during the last Christmas and Sallah periods. He emphasized that the move reflects the President’s commitment to supporting Nigerians, particularly those in need, during festive seasons.
