Kano metro-line funds reduce from N1.8bn to N700m
The State government further revealed its plans to introduce modern integrated transportation system in the State metropolis
Engr. Magaji said the proposal was in line with the Governor Ganduje’s vision and determination to transform Kano city into a world class city which will be conducive, functional and attractive to investors from around the world. “You may recall that there was a plan for a light rail which would cost about N1.8billion, and the loan generated controversy in Kano which led to the suspension of the project.”
The commissioner added that apart from the integration of the light rail and the BRT, the plan also included development of seven terminals across the suburb of the city.
