Amaechi Tells Why Kano Will Have The Biggest Railway Station In Nigeria

Rotimi Amaechi, the minister for Transportation has revealed why Kano state will have the biggest railway station in Nigeria.

The minister made the revelation in a meeting with stakeholders from the state led by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.

According to Amaechi at the meeting held in Abuja

”We have two major projects we want to do in Kano, the first being the standard gauge from Kano to Kaduna.

”We are applying to the Kano State Government to give us land to build the biggest station in Nigeria. It is the biggest station because we are combining two rail lines.

”The first is the Kano-Maradi, which will be empty in Kano and then the second one is Kano –Kaduna, which will also be empty in Kano.

”Don’t forget the station we are building in Kano will be the station that will take passengers from Lagos to Kano.

”If you combine Kano-Maradi and Lagos-Kano, you will know that the volume of passengers you will get in a week will be about a million passengers,”
