The A2 highway is a federal highway in Nigeria that spans 1,200 kilometres (750 mi). It serves as a vital transportation route, connecting the country's southern and northern regions.[1]
The A2 then heads northward, passing through Kaduna and Zaria in Kaduna State. Further north, it reaches the metropolis of Kano, providing a transportation link for the region.[4]
Beyond Kano, the A2 continues its journey northward, reaching Kazaure in Jigawa State before culminating at Daura in Katsina State. Finally, the highway reaches its northernmost point at the border with Niger.
Connectivityedit
The A2 highway is a prominent component of Nigeria's road network, serving as a key link between the southern and northern states. It facilitates the transportation of goods and people, supporting economic activities and regional integration.[5]
Additionally, the A2 forms a part of the Trans-Saharan highway system, contributing to international connectivity.[6] This system establishes connections between Nigeria and Algeria, as well as the broader North African region, promoting trade and cultural exchange.[7]
