Minister of Transportation, Senator Saidu Ahmed Alkali, has hinted that the Federal Government was committed to complete the $2 billion Kano/Niger international rail project slated for 2025. The project, which was initiated by the immediate past administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, was signed in 2021, while execution of the project commenced in 2022.
Senator Alkali after a long inspection of the ongoing project, expressed satisfaction at the level of work done so far. He was also optimistic that the contractors handling the project will deliver in good time, considering the level of commitment they have so far, exhibited. Reacting to questions on whether the budget would be reviewed considering the current economic situation, the Minister said there was need for both the contractor and the Federal Government to make sacrifices.
