Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) has announced the resumption of services on its Abuja-Kaduna route, four months after they were halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi said fares had been increased because trains would carry fewer passengers.
He said the bump in price was "nothing compared to the risk of paying ransom to kidnappers" on the Abuja-Kaduna road.
Fares for economy class will rise to about 3,000 Naira ($8; £6), while first class could cost 6,000 Naira for the 187km (116 miles) trip, according to local media reports.

The services will resume on Wednesday with social distancing enforced to prevent the spread of the virus. The NRC has shared a video of the new sitting arrangement on Twitter.
