The $1.9bn Kano-Katsina-Maradi Line which will be flagged off this week (groundbreaking) by PMB is one of Nigeria’s strategic attempts to position itself to take advantage of Niger’s landlocked status. The line will connect from Kano to the Apapa Port in Lagos.
According to him, the financing being negotiated will come mostly from Europe.
Also, he says Maradi, the terminus of the line, is only 20km from the Nigerian border. Plan is for Maradi to have an Inland Port Complex that will process goods coming from or going to Apapa Port.
