The Kaduna State Government says its ultra-modern eastern terminal, designed like an airport terminal, will transform transportation and create thousands of jobs upon completion.
The Acting Director General of the Kaduna State Transport Regulatory Authority (KADSTRA), Inuwa Ibrahim disclosed this during an inspection of the project.
Ibrahim said; “the terminal, located in Millennium City, was being constructed on a 20-hectare site by CGC Nigeria Ltd.”
He described the facility as the largest ultra-modern transport terminal in terms of size and infrastructure in West Africa’s sub-Saharan region.
According to him, the project features ticketing halls, passenger waiting lounges, multiple terminals, a hotel, restaurants, CNG filling stations, and other modern transport facilities.
“The terminal is being built with airport-standard specifications to provide comfort, efficiency and safety for passengers,” he stressed.
Ibrahim noted that construction commenced about four months ago, with progress already meeting expectations. “We expect the project to be completed within the next three months for inauguration by Governor Uba Sani.”
The Project Manager of CGC Nigeria Ltd., Mr Ji Zhongyin said all major structural works had been completed and that the contractor was currently handling block work, drainage, roads, and other external infrastructure.
He said that the remaining stages would involve finishing works, decoration, and the installation of lifts, escalators, and safety equipment.
“The official completion date is the end of November, but we are confident of delivering earlier without compromising quality,” he added.
