The Federal Government has signed the agreement enabling the commencement of work on the Kano-Maradi single track standard guage Rail line .
The agreement signed between the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and Antonio Graca, Managing Director of ,Mota- Engil Nigeria.Limited on Monday in Abuja,is valued at $1.959bn and expected to be delivered in May 2023.
The tail line when completed would be one of the score cards of the Buhari government in terms of boosting the haulage of goods and services between Nigerian Ports and landlocked Western and Central African countries.
By offering a rail service which is fast, the Nigerian authorities intend to take advantage of the market which exists between it and its neighbours.
Recall that Nigeria has recently emerged as a major maritime force in Africa and there are strong indications that neighbouring in the West African sub region may lean heavily on Nigerian Ports for the exportation of their produce.
