During an event to launch container transportation from Apapa to Kaduna and Kano, Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, Nigeria Ports Authority,NPA, and Inland Container Nigeria Limited, ICNL expressed their desire to partner with the Nigeria Railway Corporation, NRC, to explore better ways to make the rail freight system more efficient
They said the move by the NRC to resume container transportation was a great development as it would make distribution of goods easier and also reduce port congestion.
CAPT Ebube Iheanacho, the Public relations said that the entire system besides aiding port decongestion would result to efficiency in business activities within the port if all challenges are taken into proper consideration and taken care of.
Chairman, Inland Container Nigeria Limited, Tope Borishade also added that the return of container transportation by the rail will bring huge relief for them but noted that there are still challenges operations of the Railway and would likely affect efficiency of the recommenced container freight operations if not addressed.
 
Imho, I think the NRC should not limit its "exploratory" services to rail freight system only; it should extend to human transportation also. We need a functional railway system in this country.
