How will it B powered ?

I don't really know everything bro. But am aware they made provision for over 10 generating Sets with the structure of a house
that was placed side by side in a cluster/row. Each has the capacity to power a community. Am not kidding bro, it's a very massive
project interlinked with CICC.
Another beauty of this project is that it shows the beauty of the Tinapa valley, Tinapa river and it's surroundings...a beauty to behold
from that altitude.

Sorry bro, it was not his effort. It was started before he assumed office. We should give praise and honour to whom it's due,
and not pamparing words in the name of politics.

OK,

-You mean electric or battery powered?

THIS TRAIN IS JUST FOR TOURISM NOT PASSEGER TRAIN.
IS JUST WITHIN TWO SHOPPING CENTRES. A DISTANCE MANY PEOPLE WILL PREFER TO TREK.
FROM TINAPA THAT BELONG TO EX GOVERNOR DONALD DUKE TO ANOTHER COMPLEX THAT BELONG TO ANOTHER EX GOVERNOR IMOKE

When Donald Duke left power if his successor had abandoned the project same way Wike abandoned that of rivers state, will there be anything to commission today The way some people reason makes one lose hope for the so called leaders of tomorrow

my dear there was nothing for Wike to continue, cos amaechi only mounted few pillars and stole the money the entire project.

I live in Calabar and I must say though this project seems laudable, it is a white elephant project. Tinapa is a failed project & the volume of tourists who flock there has drastically reduced over the years. I fear this project may not be sustainable over the years. Besides with the small volume of passengers it can carry over a relatively short distance, I wonder how adequate revenue will be generated to sustain the maintenance of this facility.

And dont you think proper research about all these would have been taken into consideration before embarking on such a large scale project?

The problem with people like you is that you try to act intelligent BUT underneath you are just a noise maker

NEPA will prove again why it is the number one reason Nigeria has been a poor investment choice for investors.
Billions of Naira for "electric" trains when Nigeria is in the dark ages of electric supply. People are struggling to find 1kv of power to charge a phone but people are hailing progress in an "Electric" train that uses enough KV to power a small Nigerian city. grin
Investing the same amount of money in electricity supply would yeild more benefit to the economy of the entire state that Calabar resides in. But in Nigeria, good priorities are as scarce as common sense which is as scarce as a lit light bulb in Nigeria.
