Fidet Okhiria, the Managing Director of NRC, disclosed this on Wednesday.


Okhiria emphasized that the final testing phase of the e-ticketing platform was completed on Wednesday, enabling it to go live for a restricted audience before becoming available to the general public.


He said the e-ticketing system would direct ticket sales revenue to the government’s coffers.


The NRC boss stressed that the innovation would significantly reduce the potential for corruption.


He added that the e-ticketing rollout would initially cover the Abuja-Kaduna route and extend to other key routes, including Lagos-Ibadan and Itakpe-Warri.
