Speaking, the chairman of the committee, James Faleke, expressed worry over the meagre N345 million revenue remitted by the corporation in 2023.
Faleke said: “Our concern is that if we expect so much revenue from NRC and we aren’t getting it, then there is a problem.
“I think we should take the decision that the railway should be self-funded to take care of its operations and remit to the government the surplus.”
