RAILING WITH THE STATE”
We are pleased to announce a strategic partnership between the @info_NRC and the @Plateaugovt x @CalebMutfwang, marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to restore and operate the historic Jos–Kuru rail corridor.
This landmark agreement, signed in Lagos by the Plateau State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Jatau Davou, and The Management of @info_NRC, signifies a major step toward revitalizing Nigeria’s rail infrastructure. It aligns with our shared vision of enhancing regional connectivity, improving mobility, and stimulating economic growth across Plateau State and beyond.
The Jos–Kuru line, part of the historic Kafanchan–Kuru corridor that connects both Western and Eastern rail lines will play a critical role in supporting local communities, farmers, and traders through efficient cargo and passenger movement. While initial operations will run on the existing narrow gauge, plans are in motion to upgrade to standard gauge under the national railway modernization agenda.
We commend the Honourable Minister of Transportation, Hon. Said Ahmed Alkali, for his unwavering support, which underscores the Federal Government’s commitment to delivering on the Renewed Hope Agenda. His endorsement of this initiative reinforces our resolve to expand rail services across Nigeria.
This collaboration exemplifies what’s possible when federal and state governments work hand-in-hand to drive infrastructural development. It is not just about trains. it’s about restoring dignity, creating jobs, supporting commerce, and uniting the nation.
We look forward to commencing commercial operations on this corridor soon, and we remain committed to ensuring rail services reach every corner of Nigeria. More partnership announcements with other states soon.
