The Nigerian Railway Company (NRC) has raised an alarm over the emergence of fraudulent on-line platforms accumulating funds for prepare tickets by means of private financial institution accounts.
In an announcement on Tuesday, Callistus Unyimadu, the NRC’s chief public relations officer, mentioned the company has no ties to the platforms and urged the general public to keep away from them completely.
“These platforms are usually not affiliated with the NRC, and any cost made by means of such channels is completed on the sufferer’s danger,” he mentioned.

Unyimadu warned passengers by no means to pay into private or unverified accounts when reserving prepare journeys. He listed the one authorised reserving portals as:
- Warri-Itakpe Prepare Service (WITS): https://nrc-fane.ng
- Abuja-Kaduna Prepare Service (AKTS): https://nrc.tps.ng
- Lagos-Ibadan Prepare Service (LITS): https://nrc.gsds.ng
The NRC suggested passengers to all the time verify reserving websites by means of its official web site, www.nrc.gov.ng, or name its customer support centres.
Unyimadu added that the company is working with safety companies to analyze and prosecute these behind the rip-off.
“We stay dedicated to making sure the security and satisfaction of all our esteemed passengers,” he mentioned.
