President Tinubu Approves ₦1.5 Trillion Light Rail Project For Kano by Estello(op): 7:17am On Aug 09, 2025

I've been seeing my brother @Dawisu push some highly sectional and divisive narratives on projects by this administration in the North. They've mostly been far off from the truth. President Tinubu prioritises every region and interregional projects for national development.

Do you know that President @officialABAT has approved a ₦1.5 trillion ($1 billion) light rail project for Kano Metropolitan?

The Kano Metropolitan light rail project is currently being prepared for procurement. This bold step will modernise urban transport, ease congestion, create jobs, and boost local commerce.

Watch the Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, Hon. Bichi (APC-Kano), speak about various infrastructure projects in the North of Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu.

“It is not true that the President is not prioritising the northern part of the country,” he said.

This is Renewed Hope in action, driving real impact in Northern Nigeria. #PBAT4Nigeria

Kano has no business running a light rail NOW. The residents cannot afford it and therefore it'll be hugely subsidised causing the government to struggle to pay off the loan.

Tinubu is the president of The FRN and he prioritises all region. Forget about all the noise of marginalisation from some opposition politicians and league of election losers grin

Tinubu will leave Nigeria better than he met it after he completes his 8yrs in office grin

Aside the Shagari government, no other government has done well in infrastructure than the APC government. This is no sentiments. Those who witnessed the Shagari government will attest to this. The major road and other infrastructure we have in this country today were built during the Shagari government. Only APC government and in clear terms Tinubu has performed well in infrastructure.

LaIabobo:
This is a kano state project. Tinubu and his people should not claim it as theirs

Also, Kano has no business running a light rail NOW. The residents cannot afford it and therefore it'll be hugely subsidised causing the government to struggle to pay off the loan.

indeed, do you have verifiable link to back up your claims? Or it’s just one of Una usual propaganda. Even after reading that 1billion dollars was just approved by the govt, you still come out to misinform the public. Do you think to undertake a light rail project is cheap? Even some countries don’t have it and Lagos state is the only state that have the finance to embark on such project.

That's for Kwankwaso to change his mind and join APC.
They couldn't bully or threaten him with EFCC. They have to give him something.
I give it to Kwankwaso for being a master negotiator; something seating governors could not do!

Federal Government should complete Port Harcourt Mono Rail or at least award the contract.. Use it to swap payment. If state can jump into Federal projects, I see no reason Federal cannot jump into state project especially if it's perceived to be halted for political reasons .

KWAM1 needs to be arrested for been seen on video obstructing an aircraft in the airport endangering the lives of the pilot and the law. abiding citizens inside the aircraft.

A president should be seen to be on the right side of the law and not to allow some citizens flout the laws and commit criminal offenses without any repercussions.

How old where you between 1979 to 1983?
Some of you supporters of APC think that everyone is foolish.
What has APC done in Benue ever since the State's soul was sold to the devilish party in 2023, your state remains one of the most underdeveloped, poor, war ravaged, with numerous IDP camps littered here and there. Is this how good APC is to you?

Something those people will destroy overtime just to sell the iron as iron condemn.

VERY AND HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE SETS OF PEOPLE. I WONDER WHY THEY JOINED US TOGETHER...

- They are the ones removing all the man-hole iron covers
- They go to developing sites to destroy and cart away with people's electricity wires, window bars etc
- They destroy bridge protection bars etc

- They even steal from railway tracts.
