The Federal Government has begun supporting light rail projects in Kano and Kaduna to improve public transportation and drive economic growth in northern Nigeria.

According to the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris (@mohammedidrisHM), and Minister of Transportation, Saidu Alkali, the initiative—announced during a 2-day interactive session organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Foundation—is being supported through the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI).

Key highlights:
•Kaduna-Kano railway modernisation project is 53% completed
•Kano-Maradi railway is 61% completed
•A 61 km section of the Port Harcourt–Maiduguri rail has been completed and put into use

HM Alkali also provided an update on the Renewed Hope Cities (RHC) housing project:
•3,112 housing units completed in Abuja
•1,500 units + 500-unit estate completed in Kano
•250-unit estates completed in Sokoto, Gombe, Yobe, Katsina, Nasarawa, and Benue

The combined projects are expected to:
•Create over 250,000 jobs with workers earning an average of ₦150,000/month
•Attract ₦70 billion in private investment
•Stimulate local building material hubs

This development aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, advancing infrastructure and job creation across northern Nigeria.

Mrfixitt:
Tinubu is desperately scheming to win back the hearts of core northerners but it's too late already.

Hemanwel:
With the way Tinubu is trying to please the north by all means for political gains, I wish the north will be wise enough to discern that this all because of 2027. Once he gets it, he will show the north shege in his second term.
