Over the past seven years, the Abuja-Kaduna railway has successfully transported nearly 6.5 million passengers. This information was revealed in a document from the Chinese Embassy in Abuja on Wednesday.

This railway project, executed by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, stands as Nigeria’s first modern railway and represents the continent’s introduction to Chinese standards in modern rail infrastructure.

As per the document, the railway has established a crucial transport link from Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, to the prominent industrial city of Kaduna in the north.
