PRESS STATEMENT ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL PRESIDENT TINUBU RAMPS UP COMPLETION OF RAIL PROJECTS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA *Kaduna-Kano rail set for December 3 inauguration *Kano-Katsina-Maradi rail project reaches 70% completion President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is accelerating the completion of major railway projects in Northern Nigeria, with the Kaduna–Kano Standard Gauge Railway scheduled for inauguration on December 3, 2026. The 203-kilometre Kaduna–Zaria–Kano railway project, one of the administration’s legacy projects, has reached approximately 90 percent completion, while the 400-kilometre Kano–Katsina–Maradi railway project has attained 70 percent completion. When President Tinubu assumed office in 2023, Kano-Kastina-Maradi rail project was at barely 5% while Kaduna-Kano was less than 30% completion. The projects demonstrate the administration’s commitment to expanding Nigeria’s railway infrastructure, improving regional connectivity and facilitating the movement of passengers and goods across the country and beyond. The Kaduna–Kano railway, an extension of the existing Abuja–Kaduna standard gauge line, will establish a continuous rail connection between Abuja, Kaduna, Zaria and Kano, strengthening transportation links across major commercial centres in Northern Nigeria. The two rail projects were recently inspected on the directive of President Tinubu by a Federal Government team led by the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Transportation, Engr. Funso Adebiyi, who expressed satisfaction with the quality of construction work, particularly the railway alignment, drainage infrastructure, embankment protection, stone pitching and soil stabilisation. The inspection included a train test-run journey from Jaji in Kaduna State to Kano, allowing officials to assess the completed track infrastructure and passenger comfort. The President has also directed that all outstanding land acquisition and compensation issues within Kaduna metropolis should be resolved immediately so that the railway corridor from Abuja to Kano will be completed. The completed 190-kilometre Jaji-Kano section out of the entire 205-kilometre stretch of Kaduna-Kano rail project and the 250-kilometre Dawanu-Kano-Kazaure-Daura-Kastina section of the Kano-Maradi project will be inaugurated by December 3, 2026. When operational, the Kaduna–Kano railway will improve passenger transportation, facilitate commercial activities and provide an alternative to road travel along one of Northern Nigeria’s busiest commercial corridors. Similarly, the Kano–Katsina–Maradi railway, which has reached 70 percent completion, is expected to strengthen cross-border transportation and trade between Nigeria and the neighbouring Niger Republic. In line with President Tinubu's agenda, all ongoing infrastructure projects will be delivered in every part of the country as scheduled.

Bro I was so damn hungry here, I don’t think Ive ever been that hungry 🤣😭

No wonder you're always aggressive, Ashe yunwa ce 😭

This week, four of my Bills passed First Reading in the House of Representatives. They address everyday concerns around consumer protection, public safety, fair trade and disability inclusion. We will continue to focus on our primary mandate to push innovative legislation in the interest of the people of Nigeria. I am very pleased with my team once again and it was a pleasure to draft these latest set of bills. (I) Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (Amendment) Bill, 2026 (HB. 2850): This Bill seeks to strengthen consumer protection in digital commerce, improve administrative penalties and ensure businesses are held accountable. Many Nigerians have shared experiences of ordering goods online, receiving something entirely different and being denied a refund. Consumers deserve value for their money and effective redress. (II) Prohibition of Lynching, Mob Action and Extrajudicial Executions Bill, 2026 (HB. 2851): This Bill seeks to prohibit mob violence, protect victims and strengthen the prosecution of offenders. No allegation, rumour or religious disagreement should become a death sentence. The killings of travellers and hunters in Uromi, Edo State, reportedly mistaken for kidnappers, and Ummulkhairi Usman Aliyu in Maraban Jos, Kaduna State, following allegations of child theft, show the urgent need to end mob justice. (III) Weights and Measures (Amendment) Bill, 2026 (HB. 2852): Whether buying a mudu of rice or a litre of fuel, Nigerians deserve what they pay for. This Bill seeks to update outdated penalties for dishonest measurements and strengthen accountability. (IV) Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act (Amendment) Bill, 2026 (HB. 2853): This Bill seeks to protect persons with non-apparent disabilities, promote reasonable accommodation and improve public awareness. I also look forward to engaging the CBN and relevant regulators on accessible banking facilities, including wheelchair-friendly entrances, counters and ATMs. Effective representation means addressing real challenges through practical legislation. Our laws must protect lives, safeguard livelihoods and leave nobody behind. That remains the focus even during campaign and election season. Kaduna North will always be our priority. Attached is a PDF of the Order Paper containing the bills. Signed Hon. Mohammed Bello El-Rufai Member. Kaduna North Federal Constituency Chairman, Committee on Banking Regulations. November 6, 2026.
