Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Railway Corporation has said it will launch electronic ticketing for the standard gauge network next week to block revenue leakages.<\/p>\n

Fidet Okhiria, the Managing Director of NRC, disclosed this on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Okhiria emphasized that the final testing phase of the e-ticketing platform was completed on Wednesday, enabling it to go live for a restricted audience before becoming available to the general public.<\/p>\n

He said the e-ticketing system would direct ticket sales revenue to the government\u2019s coffers.<\/p>\n

The NRC boss stressed that the innovation would significantly reduce the potential for corruption.<\/p>\n

He added that the e-ticketing rollout would initially cover the Abuja-Kaduna route and extend to other key routes, including Lagos-Ibadan and Itakpe-Warri.<\/p>\n
