Buhari Commissions Abuja-Kaduna Railway Services

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday commissioned the Abuja- Kaduna railway services.

Speaking at the train’s main station at Idu, Abuja, Buhari said the new rail line would provide affordable and safe movement of passengers and freight between the Federal Capital Territory and Kaduna State.

According to him, the train operation would also serve as a major catalyst for industrialisation and generation of employment.

Shortly after speaking, the president took a train ride from Idu to Kubwa, a suburb of Abuja.

The Abuja-Kaduna rail which began under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, was implemented to an advanced stage before the end of that government.
