The Abuja-Kaduna Train Services (AKTS) did not operate on Monday, June 3, due to the ongoing strike action announced by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC).
There was no train movement from either Idu (Abuja) or Rigasa (Kaduna). The chairman of the Abuja Union of AKTS, Comrade Yusuf Kazeem, confirmed the suspension, stating that there was total compliance throughout the system with no train movement.
Kazeem explained, "Passengers were not stranded because we sent a message to inform them that there would be no train service. Also, most of our tickets are sold online and the portal was not opened for passengers to buy tickets, which was an indication that we were not available for service."
He further noted that workers of AKTS also boycotted work on Monday, emphasizing that the staff did not come to work because they were aware of the strike.
