The Nigerian government has secured a $1.3 billion facility for the Kano-Katsina-Jibiya-Maradi railway project in Niger.
This is a significant milestone in the country’s socioeconomic development. The project, under construction by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), is set to enhance regional trade, community development, and cultural exchange.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation’s Managing Director, Fidet Okhiria, and senior director with the African Development Bank, Alh. Muhammad Abdulrazak, have endorsed the project as a catalyst for economic growth and regional cooperation.
The recent visit by Chairman Tang Zhigang of the China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation has bolstered optimism for the rail project’s potential to lay the groundwork for future prosperity between the two nations.
