The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has disclosed that herders and traders will soon move their cows from the North to the Southern part of Nigeria using rail services.
Managing Director of NRC, Fidet Okhiria, disclosed this in an interview with Channels Television on Wednesday.
Okhiria said rail services for the movement of cows and other goods would resume with the Warri-Itakpe route.
Recall that the NRC had in 2017 suspended the movement of cattle by train after some technical hitches.
However, Okhiria said in a matter of one or two months, herders would be able to move their cattle on the Warri-Itakpe train services.
He added that the NRC would modernise the movement of goods in the country “so that when they come by road from the north, they can move them by rail to South-South Warri”.
