The contractor responsible for the Kano-Maradi Standard Gauge Railway lines, Mota-Engil Nigeria Limited, received heavy-duty equipment worth over $200 million at Tin-Can Island Port in Lagos. The equipment, which arrived at the port during the week, is seen as a valuable addition to Mota-Engil’s already impressive inventory. He emphasized that the project is not only significant for the development of railway infrastructure in Nigeria but also for the entire West Africa region. Mota-Engil had previously taken delivery of equipment that was dispatched to various project sites. In 2018, Shoreline Group, a Nigerian energy and industrial conglomerate founded by Kola Karim, partnered with Mota-Engil to establish Mota-Engil Nigeria.
