Engr. Fidet Okhiria, the Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), has handed over to the corporation’s most senior director, Mr. Iloanusi, after serving his second four-year term.

It was reported that Okhiria’s second tenure as MD ended on Friday, October 18, after serving for more than eight years.

The outgoing MD, during the handing over ceremony, commended the management and staff of the corporation for the cooperation and understanding extended to him during his tenure.

The Deputy Director of Public Relations, Yakub Mahmood, in a statement quoted the former MD as advising the management and staff to cooperate with the acting MD.

Mr Ben Iloanusi is a graduate of Political Science from the University of Nigeria Nsukka with an MBA in international management from the South Bank University London.
