According to a statement on China Civil Engineering
Construction Company’s website, on Thursday the container carried 40-foot
containers to Ibadan.
The statement added that “The Nigerian Railway Corporation
plans to operate one pair of container trains daily and gradually increase the
number of trains as the demand grows, improving the railway transportation
system behind Lagos Port”
Former President Muhammadu Buhari in June 2021 had
inaugurated the 157-kilometre rail for passenger services and to ease cargo
evacuation from Apapa Port, which has a total of five terminals and eight
jetties.
The facility was installed to reduce the burden of
containers on the roads, as well as congestion at the port and its access
routes.
While it started passenger services five days after the
inauguration, NRC missed several deadlines for the commencement of the cargo
operations due to some setbacks.
