President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the construction of a rail line from Kano to Kaduna State to the tune of 1. 2 Billion Dollars.
Minister for Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi made the disclosure when he paid a working visit to Kano State, assuring that when completed transportation between the two states will become easier.
