Transport

It was served for a time by the extra narrow gauge Bauchi Light Railway which connected Zaria in the north to Jos in the south.[3]

In later times, this route was replaced by a better graded normal gauge railway on a different alignment.

By 1913, two railway wires passed from Rahama to Jengre.[4]

Communication

Telegraph

Telegraph services came to the area from the then-Northern Nigeria Protectorate capital, Zungeru, through Naraguta in 1913. The Telegraph was later connected to Jengre in the same year.[4]
