Kaduna is the state capital of Kaduna State in north-central Nigeria. The city, located on the Kaduna River, is a trade center and a major transportation hub for the surrounding agricultural areas with its rail and road junction. The population of Kaduna is (1995 estimate) 333,600. The symbol of Kaduna is the crocodile, called kada in Hausa.

Kaduna was founded by the British in 1913 and became the capital of Nigeria’s former Northern Region in 1917.[2] It retained this status until 1967.

Education:

Kaduna is home to the Nigerian Defense Academy (1964), Kaduna Polytechnic (1968), and the Nigerian Institute for Trypanosomiasis Research (1951).

Economy and Transport:

Kaduna is an industrial center of Northern Nigeria, manufacturing products like textiles, machinery, steel, aluminum, petroleum products and bearings.Pottery is highly prized from Kaduna, especially from Maraban-Jos, which follows close behind Abuja and Minna. The main highway through the city is called Ahmadu Bello Way. Many of the place names come from past sultans, emirs and decorated Civil War heroes. Kaduna has a large market, recently rebuilt after an extensive fire in the mid-1990s.There is a large racecourse, approximately one mile round, inside which the Ahmadu Yakubu Polo Club and Kaduna Crocodile Club are situated, whilst the Kaduna and Rugby Clubs are on the periphery. There are two airports, one of which is Kaduna Airport.Source: Wikipedia

    How realistic is the Government plan to improve the Sabon Gari Main Market. We like it, and we are looking forward to seeing the Government embark on the project. Long live Kaduna State indigence, Long live Kaduna State Government, Long live Nigerians.
