According to reports, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transport has instructed that every prospective train passenger must present identity cards before obtaining tickets at ticket sales points.
He said that the each passenger on presentation of ID card will be issued a ticket with his or her name boldly written to forestall the possibility of transferring tickets to the highest bidders which was the practice in recent times. Revealing that this was as a result of complaints of passengers on hoarding of first class tickets by some officials Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) and transfer of tickets from one passenger to another by passengers at Idu and Rigassa Railway Stations along the Abuja to Kaduna Railway Line.
Director of operations and acting managing director of the Corporation, Mr. Niyi Alli who dropped this hint recently in Lagos appealed to passengers wishing to enter the Kaduna to Abuja passenger train to obtain ID cards as passengers who don’t have it would not be allowed to board the train.
