The ₦150 billion Kano Rail Line project, allocated by President Bola Tinubu, is set to revolutionise transportation, improve connectivity, facilitate trade, and drive economic growth in Kano and across Northern Nigeria.
The Managing Director of the Hadejia-Jama’are River Basin Development Authority (HJRBDA), Alhaji Rabi’u Bichi, disclosed this in a press statement issued in Kano State.
He commended Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu for allocating the project in the Appropriation Bill, adding that the construction of a railway line in Kano City, North West Nigeria, will bring about a massive economic turnaround in the North.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his visionary leadership in allocating 150 billion Naira in the 2025 Appropriation Bill for the construction of a railway line in Kano City.”
The managing director also said that the railway line would improve the quality of life of residents of Kano and position the city as a hub for commerce and industry.
Bichi said, “President Tinubu’s administration has demonstrated a clear focus on infrastructure development, evident in the 2025 budget’s emphasis on revitalising hospitals and investing in healthcare infrastructure.
“We acknowledge President Tinubu’s efforts to stimulate economic recovery and growth, as reflected in the 2025 budget’s projections.
“We also appreciate the efforts of Hon. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar Bichi, representing the Bichi Federal Constituency, in bringing developmental projects to the area.
