The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has once again announced a temporary suspension of the Warri-Itakpe Train Service (WITS).
This comes less than three months after the NRC first suspended the Warri-Itakpe train services on April 10, 2025, due to technical and operational issues, with operations resuming on April 30, 2025.
In a statement posted on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday evening, the NRC Management announced that the renewed temporary suspension of the Warri-Itakpe train service is due to unforeseen technical challenges.
The NRC statement reads: “The Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) regrets to inform the general public and our esteemed passengers that the Warri-Itakpe Train Service was cancelled and temporarily suspended on Tuesday, July 15, and Wednesday, July 16, 2025, due to unforeseen technical challenges.
“This suspension is necessary to allow our engineering team to urgently address and resolve the issues. Please be assured that efforts are ongoing to restore services promptly and safely.
“We understand the inconvenience this may cause and sincerely apologize to all our valued passengers. Your safety and comfort remains our top priority.
“We encourage the public to stay updated by following our official communication channels for the latest information on service resumption.”
