The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari was not aware that rail line was going to pass through his hometown in Daura, Katsina State. He added that the President has directed that Kebbi, Zamfara and Sokoto be linked by rail.
He said: “The President summoned myself and the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, that we should go ahead with infrastructural development and he specifically told me that I must connect the 36 states capital by rail. It is a huge assignment. Huge in the sense that it is very expensive to connect. “By the directive of the President, We are currently designing a railway that would connect Gusau, Sokoto and Kebbi.
