Morocco's King Mohammed VI and French President Emmanuel Macron have officially opened Morocco's $2.3 billion Tangier-Casablanca high speed line, the first ever in Africa.

The new high speed line was named Al Boraq after the mythical winged creature that transported the Islamic prophets to the heavens.

The high speed trains will cut travel time between Tangier and Casablanca from about 5 hours to just over two hours .

The 12 new French-made double-decker TGVs trains are made by Alstom and can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour (or 320 km/h)

Each of the 533 passengers trainset is composed of 8 cars including two first-class cars, a dining car and five second class cars.



51 percent of the $2.3 billion was financed by France, Morocco 28 percent and the remaining 21 percent was provided by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.



The super high-speed train is expected to ferry 6 million passengers within the first three years of operation.

What do you think of the First Ever High Speed Train Line in Africa?

Buhari should come and see

Not the ancient rails he is claiming he has completed and commisioned

Need to leave this country, but if I go apply for visa them no go gree me go

Which kind thing be this one

$2.3 billion, wey some Nigerian politicians and civil servants go share among each other

By the time the people of Morocco start traveling in that train, they will pray for their King, politicians and country.
I do feel like crying whenever I pass through itokin road, when am traveling from ikorodu to ijebu Igbo, the road is just so dam terrible and I will start cursing the Federal government, Lagos state government and the Ogun state government

Countries that are functioning well don't know how lucky they are.

the 6 geopolitical regions should have trains operating in them, but with the sort of greedy useless politicians we have, it's not gonna be possible.

Just imagine a very rich state like Lagos, that has been constructing a light rail project for more than 10 years, I wish there is an alternative to APC in Lagos state.

Nigeria when are we gonna experience this

Gradually Africa is getting common sense but at a low speed

Even the “ginding machines” that Transport minister is buying from Chi-nko is not allowed to run beyond 45km/hr so as not to kill cows.

Wonderful. Sadly no project in Nigeria is worth inviting Macron to commission unless Fela Shrine
Even France, Saudi Arabia will be afraid to finance any project in Nigeria due to our Polithievcians even WHO funds to Nigeria was diverted to personal accounts.

Great.

How much is Dasuki being accused of again?

How much is APC presidential form?

How much Abacha Loot was recovered and shared few weeks ago?
How much did we borrow from China days after?

Abacha was never corrupt though. And he who said this is your president. And half of you are still gearing up to return him for another term. What has changed?


There is the Gandollar bank somewhere in Kano.
I heard our leader said he is honest leader, because of votes? Great.

What about the one who received millions for prayers?

Alright, how much is Delta, Akwa Ibom and Rivers State alloctaions?

How much have EFCC recovered so far?

Can someone tell me how much Osibanjo took for Emergency issues?
How much is the budget for imminently to be rigged election going to cost again?
