The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to inaugurate key sections of two major railway projects in Northern Nigeria on December 3, 2026. These projects are the 205-kilometre Kaduna–Kano Standard Gauge Railway and the 400-kilometre Kano–Katsina–Maradi Railway. The Kaduna–Kano railway project, which connects Kaduna, Zaria, and Kano, is nearly 90% complete, while the Kano–Katsina–Maradi railway, completed at just 70% in 2023, will strengthen cross-border transportation and trade with Niger Republic.
Both projects are expected to improve transportation, boost commercial activities, and enhance regional connectivity.
