“This is particularly crucial amidst challenges such as the removal of fuel subsidies and the congestion of commercial vehicles on roads,” he said.

Similarly, vice principal of Tahir International Academy in Kaduna, Mr. Godwin Aerga, believes that such infrastructure developments will attract both domestic and foreign investments. Improved connectivity is expected to spur urban development, potentially giving rise to new business districts and residential areas along the rail route.

Aerga added that the rail line symbolises progress and prosperity, with the anticipation that it will unlock the economic potential of the region and enhance the quality of life for its inhabitants.

“The benefits of the rail line extend beyond economic growth. Residents and businesses stand to gain from reduced travel times between regions, enhancing connectivity and economic integration. It stimulate job creation and foster economic growth, providing opportunities for the local workforce,” he said.

In light of his commitment to transforming key sectors of the economy, Aerga appealed to President Tinubu to prioritise the completion of other rail lines across the nation. The revitalisation of rail lines is seen as a testament to Nigeria’s determination to embrace progress and modernise its infrastructure.
