Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, on Thursday, charged President Muhammadu Buhari to make life easier for ordinary Nigerians.
Ado Bayero spoke when President Buhari visited him in his palace in Kano.
The monarch also urged the President to improve security and tackle inflation in the country.
He said, “We thank the President for this working visit and to make his bond with this royal house even stronger. It is their house already. We can’t quantify the number of his visits here on different occasions, especially during the reign of the late emir, both during celebrations and otherwise.
“We hope all his cabinet members will continue to do the right thing, especially where his ears could not reach.
“We hope to see the completion of this project (the Kano-Kaduna standard gauge rail) soon.
“We also call on the President to help make life easier for the masses, especially in the area of security and food security.”
President Buhari, on his part, said the visit became imperative because Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, had achieved a lot with the state treasury and wants the people to see.
Buhari said, “I am happy with these projects. These are projects he inherited, but because they are people centered projects, he was able to complete them and even add his own.
“I also feel that I cannot come to Kano without coming to pay homage to his Highness. I am happy with what I see. Thank you so much.”
Speaking earlier, Governor Ganduje said another history had been made in Kano.
He said, “The President has come to Kano to commission the ground breaking of rail line from Kano to Kaduna, which is part of the railway lines between Lagos-Ibadan-Kaduna and Kano.
“There is also a similar rail line between Kano, Katsina, Jibiya and Maradi in Niger Republic.”
In addition to the ground-breaking ceremony of the Kano-Kaduna standard gauge railway line at Zawaciki area of the state, President bihari also inaugurated the three-layer Dangi interchange bridge at Zaria road by Zoo road in the metropolis.
