Kaduna State is one of the seven states in the North-West Geo-political zone of Nigeria. It is centrally located and serves as the gateway to most Northern states. The State was created in May 27, 1967. Kaduna State is uniquely situated to service the other Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory. Consequently, the State has become a trade centre and a major transportation hub in the country. In playing this role, it has a network of roads that links it with other parts of Nigeria. The major ones are the Kaduna – Abuja road (linking it to the Southern parts of Nigeria), the Kaduna – Zaria – Kano road, and Kaduna – Saminaka – Jos (Plateau State) road. The State has about 9,500 km of roads, consisting of about 1, 600km federal roads, 2,200km state roads and 5,700km local governments (LGs) roads. The high-speed train between federal capital city Abuja and the northern commercial capital Kaduna began operations in July 2018.
