The 284-kilometer Kano–Jigawa–Katsina–Maradi railway project will be finished by 2026, according to President Bola Tinubu’s announcement on Friday.
The president made the announcement at the state’s Tashar Bala Area’s 24-kilometer Eastern Bypass and Katsina State Agricultural Mechanization Centre public.
The president claims that the construction of a railroad line that connects Maradi in the neighboring Niger Republic to Kano State in Nigeria’s Northwest Region will ease traffic for people and goods there, reducing the burden on Nigerian roads once it is finished.
The president also made it known that the Federal Government had awarded contracts to complete rehabilitation of the Kafur-Malumfashi-Dayi-Gidan Mutum Daya Roads as well as the complete rehabilitation of Martabar Kankara-Dutsina-Katsina-Katsina Road and Zaria-Hunkuyi-Dabai.
He added that work is still being done on the road and that the second phase of the Katsina-Kano Road is on track. He claimed that the Federal Government had overcome the road’s previous technical and bureaucratic difficulties.
The Katsina-Kano Road’s second phase is “firmly on track.” The work is still being done along the way, thanks to the accomplishment of previous technical and administrative challenges.
“We have received the contract for the complete rehabilitation of the Kafur-Malumfashi-Dayi-Gidan Mutum Daya Roads, as well as the Martabar Kankara-Dutsina-Katsina-Katsina Road and Zaria-Hunkuyi-Dabai Roads. The roads will be delivered on time, according to us.
The 284-kilometer Kano-Jigawa-Katsina-Maradi rail project, in addition, is scheduled to be finished in 2026. When finished, the project will lessen the strain on our roads and ease the transportation of people and goods.
I want to assure the people of Katsina State that there are enough projects and programs under development for the people who are committed. He thanked you for your prayers.
