Consortium Plan $7.5bn High Speed Rail From Lagos To N'delta by Cockpitboy(m): 3:29am On Mar 06, 2009
This seems to be quite a good initiative by well meaning Nigerians.
A step towards convenience/speed.


Oracle Nigeria Limited, a wholly owned indigenous company, is proposing to build a high speed train that will connect Lagos and the Niger Delta region. The project is estimated to gulp about $7.5bn
:

:
The proposed corridor for the HSR is Lagos, Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Abia, Imo, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states.

"It is envisaged that travelling time from Lagos to Calabar will not exceed four hours, inclusive of stops. This mode of transportation will create relief in a country fraught by road accidents, which according to the World Health Organisation account for over 32,000 deaths in Nigeria every year.

Is there any way this crew can be motivated to bring this lofty plan to fruition?
