The Abuja-Kaduna and Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail services resume operations at 9.15 a.m. and 1p.m. on Saturday respectively, following the suspension of strike by railway workers.

This was disclosed by Managing Director of Nigerian Railways Corporation, Mr Fidet Okhiria.

The NRC management and the union had directed workers to resume work with immediate effect in a joint communique suspending the strike on Friday night.

NAN reports that the railway workers had on Thursday embarked on a three-day warning strike over staff welfare issues, thus paralysing rail transportation across the country.
