Eid-el-Kabir: FG approves 50% discount for train services

The Federal Government has approved a 50 percent fare discount on all train services as part of measures to ease transportation costs for Nigerians during the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

Gift Osima, Information and Public Relations Officer, Federal Ministry of Transportation, revealed this on Tuesday in Abuja.

Osima in a statement she issued to newsmen quoted the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Funsho Adebiyi, as saying that the discount would take effect from May 26, 2026 and last until June 1, 2026.

According to Adebiyi, ticket fares on all Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) passenger train services across the country have been reduced by 50 percent of the existing approved rates within the stated period.

He said passengers who had earlier purchased tickets at the full fare before the announcement would be entitled to a 50 percent rebate, usable for train rides on or before June 1.
