Enjoy Free Train Services Nationwide This Christmas, Says FG
The Federal Government is spreading the holiday cheer with free train rides for everyone this Christmas and New Year season.
Announced by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, after Monday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja, the free train services will run nationwide from December 20, 2024, to January 5, 2025. That’s two whole weeks of free travel!
Why the generous move? The government wants to ease the burden of holiday transportation, allowing Nigerians to travel stress-free and spend quality time with family and friends. It’s a thoughtful way to bring smiles to people’s faces during the festive period.
The free train rides cover all active train routes across the country, so whether you’re heading to Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, or anywhere the trains go, you can hop on and enjoy the ride for free. Think of it as a smooth, budget-friendly way to connect cities and create special holiday memories without breaking the bank.
Excited? You’re not alone. Nigerians have welcomed the news with open arms, seeing it as the perfect opportunity to save some cash while traveling in comfort. The government encourages everyone to take full advantage of this offer and travel safely this season. For train schedules and routes, simply check official railway service platforms to plan your trip like a pro.
