The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, says Kano State will house the biggest rail station in the country.
The minister said this when a delegation from Kano, led by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, visited him in Abuja to discuss the rail and Dala inland dry port in the State.
“We have two major projects we want to do in Kano; the first being the standard gauge from Kano to Kaduna.
“We are applying to Kano State Government to give us land to build the biggest station in Nigeria.
“It is the biggest station because we are combining two rail lines.
“The first is the Kano-Maradi which will empty in Kano and then the second one is Kano-Kaduna which will also empty in Kano.
“Don’t forget, the station we are building in Kano will be the station that will take passengers from Lagos to Kano.
“If you combine Kano-Maradi and Lagos-Kano, you will know that the volume of passengers you will get in a week will be about a million passengers.”
