AutoReportNG, It'll be sited at Ebute-Metta (not Iddo) where the old railway station will be demolished for this one.
Apapa terminal will also have a mega station, while the remaining two mega train stations will be in Abeokuta and Ibadan.

Abeokuta ke? Is that the route of the main track? Or does it branch off to abeokuta? Seems unreasonable to want to catch an express train to lagos at 6am from ibadan to go through abeokuta.

However, if this train doesn't go through redemption camp I'll be thoroughly disappointed. It would help the situation during their monthly holy ghost nights immeasurably. Imagine the revenue on those days, even if its just once a month!! At least 300k to 500k people (guessing) go there from lagos every month. Not to mention those from ibadan environs and abeokuta environs.

Of course it is unfair....but that's the truth....they need to upgrade....we have so many so called graduates of civil engineers etc but they are way behind their foreign counterparts...

Way behind is an understatement!!! If you live Lekki you'll be familiar with the new bus stops on that axis. Some of them actually have the floor sloping forwards towards the road instead of backwards towards. This then causes water to pool by the edge of the road causing traffic as motorists on the right have to come inwards.

If that is what Nigerian engineers can come up with, then they shouldn't be anywhere near a multi billion dollar project such as this railway.

God bless GEJ!!

GEJ didn't do 75% of Lag/Ib expressway. Let's not exaggerate. You can get info from RCC (Ibadan to Sagamu) and Berger (Sagamu to Lagos). Not holding brief for the APC government though. They still have a long way to go on that road.

computergeek:
Good project but why can't Nigerian architects, Nigerian engineers and a Nigerian Construction company handle this project? Is it that there are none good enough or experienced enough to handle this project, or just that it's generally accepted that only foreigners can do such in third-world countries?

Mental slavery.

My thoughts exactly.

Nasafina:
Where are our graduates

We produce graduates in civil engineering, architecture, etc yet we employ the whites to do the job

So pathetic

Honestly, we have issues. Sometimes I wonder if we Africans are under a spell or curse that makes us behave like this. The Chinese and Indians would never allow a foreign firm to design this in their countries until they have exhausted all possibilities for indigenous production. Only THEN will they consider foreigners. In our case we go straight to the foreigners.

So what you're saying is that development is not evenly spread amongst all the regions in this Buhari gov't, and that the Yoruba (who are advocates of 'one Nigeria') know this but are unperturbed and still willing for this to continue?

the current status quo favors them. If na you would want it to change. Jonathan administration favored we Igbos and tide don change to theirs

We will keep you updated on the routes by the week, we trying to review the map at our disposal

Wailer will always wails,even if your slowpoke gej is ask about Lagos Ibadan expressway,he will just be stammering like dondu,I could vividly remembered when that slowpoke used billions of naira for just inauguration of that road. inauguration of road that hasn't been done,wonder shall never end.

you must be joking. My formerworkplace was along the expressway. it was less than 25% completed as at May 2015. As at the time i left the workplace in August 2017. it should be at roughly 60% completion. I know because i crisscross the length of the road.

if you can confirm that Jonathan administration favored no one then who did he work for. Himself and his crooked fellows?

I could have dragged this out with you, but i'll leave it at that. It's obvious you're not being true to yourself.

Yes, that is the route of the main track, Lagos-Abeokuta-Ibadan. And I think the old narrow gauge currently being revamped by GE passes through Abeokuta too.

In building railway largest cities are prioritised to convey the largest volume of traffic. Despite that Sagamu has the shortest distance to Ibadan, you can't expect the FG to build railway there simply because of churches that meet there occasionally.

Nevertheless, It'll still take under 1hr from Lagos to Ibadan through Abeokuta because this is a high speed train.

How is I P OB seeing it?

As long as your hate CANNOT stop this project, I'm okay.

Lol

They should build a rail station in a certain location simply because people go there once a month?

The same you advocating for a station in Redemption camp is questioning a stop in Abeokuta a major city?

Let me not talk.

I hope we don't get to commission d prototype

Be careful of adverts on buying data when you don't see the person face to face.Insist the person recharge you first before transferring money. I've fallen victim.once

And pray, why should the data seller trust you if you can't trust him? Just asking, i dont and won't buy other than from the major platforms and portals

I'm not saying it shouldn't pass through abeokuta, but I think a spur to say Ijebu ode and on to Ore and Benin through redemption camp could be useful and commercially viable

AutoReportNG:
The ongoing Lagos-Ibadan Railway project which will cut across 3 states namely Lagos, Ogun and Oyo state is going on at a very fast pace. The railway is meant to ease of vehicular activities on the ever busy Lagos-Ibadan Road and it is also expected to be used to convey cargo goods thereby the pressure on Lagos roads will reduce.

According to the minister of transportation, Mr. Rotimi Ameachi, when the rail is completed, people living in Ibadan can work in Lagos and still get home on time as the trip using the rail is estimated to be in minutes.

AutoReportNG got the prototype of the proposed Lagos Railway Station and it was a sight to behold based on the design but we are still skeptical if it will be sited at Ebute-Metta or maybe at Iddo Railway Station. No matter what may be the final decision, trust us to always give you exclusively in as much as mobility and transportation are concerned in Nigeria.

Picture 3 denotes its final destination and where it will be sited.

Josh, please do you have any idea of where abeokuta station might be?
