Nigeria-Niger rail line to boost trans-Saharan trade – Buhari Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Tuesday justified the decision of his regime to construct a rail line linking Nigeria with Niger Republic despite criticisms that trailed the announcement of the plan. He said connecting Niger Republic through rail would, among other benefits, foster trans-Sahara trade and contribute to the expected gains in the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement. Buhari made the justification while virtually presiding over the groundbreaking for the commencement of the rail line from the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The rail line is known as Kano-Katsina-Jibiya-Maradi (Niger Republic) rail line with branch line from Kano.
