The Federal Government of Nigeria, says construction of the Kaduna-Kano rail line will begin in July.
Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, disclosed this in a statement while on a visit to Kano State on Friday.
He also said that the Federal Government was trying to see how to bring maritime into Kano, as the State is important to the railway sector.
“…between now and July, we would start work on the Kaduna-Kano part of the rail. Wherever we link the Kano rail to Kaduna and link Ibadan to Abuja, then we have the problem of cargoes,” he said.
The Kano State Government on its part commended Amaechi and the federal government for the feat.
