Lagos states Budget is $1.5 billion a year, so where are they gonna get $3 billion to do this project not to mention cost over-runs and unforseen contigencies!!! lol u people need to wake up and think for a change

The main idea to to transport the Gas. . . . .so they went for the Railway project,

martinosi:

This is a World Bank Project and it runs concurrently with
the railways being built in other coastal West African contries,

So people who think that Fashola is the source of this idea need to sit down and keep quiet!!!

The main idea to to transport the Gas and other sensitive resources from area's like Nigeria all the way up the west african coastal cities for entry into Europe via morrocco-spain,

The World Bank and its Major stakeholders (USA/EU) looked at
the plan of running  a pipleline from west-africa through the sahara
desert but thy shelved the idea due to Security risk, so they
went for the Railway project,


You guys need to research and do your home-work and maths before talking

I suggest you start loggin onto the Financial Times website for a start 

GAR3TH:

This project gladdens my heart and indeed lifts up my spirit. I look at the rail line everyday to and from work. I see the CCECC working on the rails from Oshodi to Agege where I pass through daily.

I know they have replaced some rails (saw them packing the old ones some weeks back), poured gravels on the line and are currently demarcating the area with wire-mersh fence.

Saw the 1970 GE C25 locomotive old school engine imported by NRC and wonder why FG cannot even try to do us proud for once.

I trust Gov Fashola can never agree to give Lagosian such ugly old school beast; to imagine the idiots posing happily in front of their retrogressive solution obviously praising themselves of their silly achievement.

Who says Nigerians do not deserve the finest, strongest and most modern rail system like the west, after-all our president is getting himself one of the latest jets in the world.

GOD bless Gov Fashola for his love to his people. I support this project any time.

Even the London Underground just about carries 1 million passengers per day.

The record number of people travelling on the Underground was set on the 7th December 2007 when 4.17 million travelled on that day.

The average number of people using the Underground daily is 3.4 million.
