development of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC).
In view of the importance of railway transport system in the socio-economic
development of a nation, the Federal Government, in recent times, put in reasonable
resources to resolve the persisted problems militating against efficient operational
performance of the NRC. Mismanagement was identified as one of the major problem

on NRC, development.
This issue was approached by undertaking the indept study of the rail system in
Nigeria. The problems within the system were ascertained. The roles of the Nigerian
management body before and after the change were determined and the results during
the change in management were fished out
The study was limited to the management of the NRC. The data for the study
was collected through NRC publications and document, Ministry of Transport and
Aviation Information Handbook, Journals, Seminars and personal contacts with the
management and technical staff of the NRC
The data were analysed by the use of figures. The results revealed that the
change in management had a significant impact on the development of NRC.
With references to the findings recommendations were made to the Federal
Government and NRC management body. Also, suggestions for further research were
put forward.
