Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, says Kano State will house the biggest rail station in the country.
Amaechi stated this when a delegation from Kano State, led by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje visited him in Abuja to discuss the rail and Inland Dry Port in the state.
According to the minister, there will be an expansion in the concept of the Kano Station, which is largely the same framework as the Lagos Station but has more space than the Lagos Station.
He noted that the visit of the Kano delegation was also an opportunity to deliberate on the Dala Inland Dry Port, which was already at the advanced stage.
He said the ministry’s delegation would on March 5th, visit the site to ascertain the level of work and how further the ministry could support realisation of the project.
Earlier, Ganduje said that the state government had contributed about 2.5 billion naira to the dry port project to ensure its speedy completion and commercialisation.
