Many passengers were seen stranded at the Mobolaji Johnson train station on Tuesday due to the failed departure of the 4 pm train going to Ibadan from Lagos. When the Nigerian Tribune got to Mobolaji Johnson Train Station, many passengers were seen sitting on the stairs leading to the departure hall of the train station while they waited for the train to move. Speaking with the Nigerian Tribune, a passenger, Bode Olajide lamented that staff of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) said there is no fuel. Confirming the issues with fuel, the NRC Lagos District Manager, Engineer Augustine Arisa said that the fuel issue is down to the fuel scarcity problem in the country. “I have however sent some of my staff to go and look for fuel,” the NRC Lagos District Manager told the Nigerian Tribune exclusively.
