Said Alkali, the Minister of Transportation, says the Nigerian Railways, will commence e-ticketing on Wednesday
Mr Alkali said this on Monday in Abuja during the flag-off of e-ticketing for the Lagos-Ibadan and Itakpe–Warri routes.
According to him, the e-ticketing system will direct ticket sales revenue to the government’s funds.
He added the e-ticketing platform would significantly reduce the potential for corruption and revenue leakage.
“It will also help to ensure the security of our passengers and avoid racketeering.
“It is the desire of this administration to have zero tolerance for corruption. All these are aimed to benefit our citizens,” he said.
Contributing, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Magdalene Ajani, said the Federal Government had really deepened efforts to ensure the dream of having an e-ticketing platform come to reality.
