Nigeria’s northern Kaduna state is close to agreeing a USD 625 million deal with an Indian consortium to build a light railway and also plans two new power plants, its governor, Nasir El-Rufai, said in an interview for Reuters.
The governor of one of the largest northern states Kaduna said a deal to build a 44 km-long light rail line in the state had almost been reached.
„We have gone through a procurement process. We are on the verge of concluding agreement with an Indian consortium, Indo-Kaduna Metro joint venture,” he said in the interview, adding that rail consultant Systra and Indian power firm Skipper were part of the project.
„This is going to be funded by the Indian Exim bank, USD 625 million”, El-Rufai added.
