The Federal Government (FG) has confirmed that the Kaduna–Kano Standard Gauge Rail Line will be completed in 2026.
Minister of Transportation, Sa’idu Alkali, made the announcement during the ongoing government-citizen engagement forum in Kaduna.
Alkali disclosed that when President Bola Tinubu assumed office on 29 May 2023, the project was only 15% complete.
