The statement explained that the first train service is slated to depart Rigasa Train in Kaduna by 8:00 am to Abuja, while in Abuja, the Idu train station will leave for Kaduna by 9:30 am.
The NRC management reiterated that as part of the new security measures, it is now mandatory for passengers to present their National Identity Number and valid Boarding Ticket before being allowed to board.
