The management of China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) has explained that the much-awaited Kano to Kaduna standard gauge railway will be completed in 18 months.

Speaking with journalists at the construction site, situated at Zawachiki Kumbotso Local Council of Kano, Personnel Manager of CCECC, Muhammad Kabir, said the project would be ready before the scheduled time.

According to him, workers have since been mobilised to the various sites of the project immediately after President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated it in July.
