The latest two-day training session was held at Moniya Train Station, Ibadan, from 25th-26th August 2026, under the theme: ‘Safe Hygiene Practices for a Healthy and Infection-Free Train Station.’
The programme combined practical and theoretical sessions designed to strengthen the knowledge and skills of personnel responsible for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene within the station environment.
The Railway District Manager, Western District, Mrs Naomi Itajobi, thanked and appreciated the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Dr Kayode Opeifa for the good initiative, noting that the continuous training would further enhance hygiene standards and improve service delivery across railway facilities.
