Transport Minister Supports Kaduna Metropolitan Rail Mass Transit Initiative 

The Minister of Transportation, Alhaji Ahmed Alkali has promised to support the Kaduna State government in it's drive to provide a metropolitan rail mass transit scheme for its citizens.

Earlier, the head of the delegation, Prof. Muhammed Sani Bello, who is also the Commissioner for Education in Kaduna State, mentioned that the purpose of the visit was to seek the Minister's backing for the project. 

He explained that the mass transit train initiative aims to improve the well-being of the populace and enhance the state's income.

After detailed discussions, the Minister directed the constitution of a Technical Committee consisting of the Federal Ministry of Transportation, Nigeria Railway Corporation, and the Kaduna State Government with a timeline of 5 days to produce a Memorandum of Understanding.
