President Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated the Abuja to Kaduna commercial train operation. After series of postponements, the President on Tuesday flagged off the commencement of full commercial operations of the rail project.

The modernization phase of the project commenced with the signing of the contract for the construction of Abuja (Idu) to Kaduna (Rigasa) rail line in 2009.
