The Kano State Government has signed contracts valued at $1.8 billion with China Railway Construction Group C18 , which is one of the world's most powerful and largest integrated construction group for the construction of light rail line in the state.
China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (“CRCC”) was solely established by China Railway Construction Corporation on November 5th, 2007 in Beijing, and is now a mega size construction corporation under the administration of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council of China (SASAC).
The governor explained that "the project is part of grand design to upgrade Kano to the status of a truly great city, as it will significantly ease movement of goods and services.
"Upon completion, the light rail is expected to cover Janguza-Bata, Jogana-Bata, Dawanau-Bata and Kwanar Dawaki-Bata routes in Kano city."
He added that a Chinese Bank would provide 85 per cent of the total sum, while the Kano State Government would pay the remaining 15 per cent.
