Kano-Kaduna Railway: FG Sets Dec. 2022 For Inauguration

The Federal Government has expressed optimism that the Kano-Kaduna railway will be completed and ready for inauguration in Dec. 2022.

Mr Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation, while inspecting the level of progress on the project in Kano, said that it would be commissioned before President Muhammadu Buhari leaves office.

Amaechi noted that so far, the Federal Government had invested more than 400 million dollars for the actualisation of the project.

The minister, however, urged the facilitator of the project, the CCECC, to increase the number of equipment and personnel on site in order to ensure the deadline was met.

“We are here basically to find out whether these guys have commenced work and how far they have gone.

“This is because they have a target of completing this thing at the end of next year or in the first quarter,’’ he said.

According to him, the cabinet decided that instead of a single track recommended by China, we should continue with the double track we had done on Lagos-Ibadan.

“And the cabinet is bigger than me, I cannot overrule neither can the Chinese contractor also overrule. Luckily for us, they are doing the formation as double track, so we will just include the track laying to conclude the contract.

“This will certainly affect the cost in terms of just the track but not the civil works.’’

On claims of pending compensation, Amaechi noted that there was no issue of compensation on the Kano-Maradi route as the land owners had already been compensated before the project commenced.

“Before we started, we made sure everybody has been paid before we even started clearing and that is the first item on implementation strategy of the work.

“That you must first pay the owners of the land, so they don’t come and disturb you when working,’’ Amaechi explained.

The minister then restated that the motive for the construction of the rail project was not for political interest.

“I have told people , don’t politicise railway project, don’t make it look as if there are political motive behind the construction.

“The essence of railway construction is to grow the economy,’’ he added.

The 284km standard gauge railway line is designed to have 15 stations, traverse Kano-Dambatta-Kazaure-Daura-Mashi-katsina-Jibiya-Maradi and would pass close to major cities, towns and villages.

The 15 stations comprise two main stations in Kano and Katsina, three medium stations in Kazaure, Daura and Jibiya, three small stations in Shagalle, Dambatta and Mashi, with other Halt stations at the Airport, Kunya Dube, Muduru, Daddara, Anoal Mata and Maradi.

Upon completion, the project would facilitate public transportation, stimulate the development of the agricultural economy, manufacturing industries along the corridor and reduce the cost.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
