The Presidency says ongoing road and rail projects in Northern Nigeria will stimulate economic activities and improve trade across the region.
Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, Senior Special Assistant to the President, made this known while addressing the members of the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Kano on Tuesday.
He said the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Expressway, Sokoto-Badagry Highway, and the Kano-Katsina-Maradi rail line would open new trade routes, ease movement of goods, and strengthen social interaction across communities.
“These projects are not just about roads and bridges.
They are economic corridors that will connect markets, farming clusters, and businesses, creating jobs and boosting productivity,” Abdulaziz said.
He explained that the administration had deliberately sustained inherited projects while also initiating new ones to ensure balanced development nationwide.
According to him, the projects reflect President Bola Tinubu’s belief in national integration and sustainable prosperity for Nigerians.
