President Tinubu Approves ₦1 Trillion Metropolitan Rail Service For Kano

The Federal Government has approved the construction of a ₦1 trillion Metropolitan Rail Service in Kano State, a major infrastructure project aimed at overhauling urban transportation, reducing traffic congestion, and driving economic growth in the state’s metropolitan area.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf announced the approval while addressing members of the Kano State contingent that participated in the 2025 National Qur’anic Recitation Competition in Borno State.

The governor revealed that his administration’s decision to realign with the Federal Government, led by the All Progressives Congress (APC), was strategic and intended to secure critical development projects for Kano.

The new rail service will provide a modern, efficient, and affordable mass transit system connecting key districts across the metropolis. It is expected to improve resident mobility, facilitate trade, attract investment, and enhance the overall quality of life.

Governor Yusuf described the project as a landmark intervention that will reposition Kano as a leading, transportation hub in Northern Nigeria.

He assured residents that the state government will collaborate closely with relevant federal agencies to ensure transparent execution and maximum benefits for the people of Kano.

The governor expressed gratitude to the Federal Government for the initiative and reiterated his administration’s commitment to supporting federal efforts through complementary policies and infrastructure development.

The announcement was contained in a statement issued by Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Director General of Media and Publicity, Government House, Kano.

Audio. But wouldn't he have approved it if the governor didn't decamp to the APC? This simply means the president is using our common patrimony selectively in such a way that will grant him unfair political advantage. It's a subtle abuse of office that is tending towards dictatorship. Governance should be separated from politics. This is no different from how Lucius Cornelius Sulla became the first dictator of Rome.

You gave Tinubu more votes in 2023 than Kano, yet there's nothing to show for it.

Na so so fight, fight, fight everyday. Four years about to be wasted on useless fights between godfather and godson at the expense of the whole state.
