The APC Campaign Council has announced that the Kaduna‑Kano rail line will be formally inaugurated on 3 December.
The announcement comes as the project, which links the commercial hubs of Kaduna and Kano, is still in the construction phase. When President Tinubu took office in 2023, the Kaduna‑Kano line was reported to be less than 30 % complete.
For comparison, the larger Kano‑Katsina‑Maradi railway project was only about five per cent finished at the same time.
The new rail link is part of Nigeria’s long‑term strategy to expand its railway network and improve regional connectivity. By connecting two of the country’s key cities, the line is expected to boost trade and mobility across the northern region.
According to the APC Campaign Council, the inauguration will be attended by senior government officials and railway authorities, who will mark the milestone as a step forward in the country’s infrastructure development.
