Mohammed Bazoum, Niger Republic President has thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for\u00a0approving the $1.96 billion Kano-Katsina-Maradi railway project.<\/p>\n

The commendation was made by the Nigerien leader\u00a0after a closed-door bilateral talks with Buhari in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Buhari had, in February 2021, performed the ground-breaking ceremony of the Kano\u2013Dutse\u2013Katsina\u2013Maradi 284 kilometer rail project connecting Kano in Nigeria to Maradi in Niger Republic.<\/p>\n

The project, approved by the Federal Executive Council in September 2020, was believed to be crucial to rail development in Nigeria and in the West African sub-region.<\/p>\n

It was being executed by Mota-Engil Group, a multinational engineering, and construction company.<\/p>\n

The project, with 15 stations along the corridor, would boost socio-economic activities in Kano, Katsina, and Jigawa States in Nigeria, as well as Maradi in Niger Republic.<\/p>\n

Bazoum said, \u201cOn economic issues, we discussed the Kano-Katsina-Maradi railway project and this project is an infrastructure<\/a> that will integrate the economies of Nigeria and Niger.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so, I\u2019m here to thank President Buhari for his efforts at ensuring that this project has taken off and I hope that it will be sustained because this project will radically change the trading exchange between the two countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also spoke about the gas pipeline in the sense that gas and oil have now become an issue in world politics, in the world economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also lauded Nigeria for leading the way in funding activities of the Multi-National Joint Task Force, currently maintaining security in the Lake Chad Basin.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy visit coincides with the very big operation that is taking place jointly today in the Lake Chad Basin region against the terrorists, and this big operation is being conducted by MNJTF \u2013 the Multinational Joint Task Force.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd as you will know very well, the operations of the Multinational Joint Task Force is funded almost entirely by Nigeria. And this operation is meant to help in providing security challenges that both of our countries are facing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to reiterate my recommendation and thanks to President Buhari, who, because of his support, this operation is going on and will be very much continuing in future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Nigerien leader expressed optimism that Nigeria and Niger Republic would continue to promote ties in the areas of security and economic development.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the visiting Nigerien leader was also hosted to a lunch by Buhari shortly after their bilateral engagement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
