Meanwhile in Nigeria, we are reducing the speed of trains to protect cattle grazing along the railtracks. Sai Baba/Mama/Baby/Bobo/Uncle/Aunty.

If not for bureaucracy and lackluster leaders we have in this nation, being pacesetters and trailblazers should be our heritage.

Congrats to Morocco, one of the few countries in the continent with foresight.

If this project can cost just $2.3billion and politicians can share almost that amount for election purpose, then we have big problem in our hands.

Wonder if this one in Morocco is more efficient in cost and performance than our snazzy new ones in Nigeria....ie, the kaduna-Abuja and Lagos Ibadan services?

Amaechi said they don't want our trains to run very fast because of cows of fulani herdsmen!

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?

Little wonder one Nigerian company is boasting they can deliver high speed trains that can cut travel time between Lagos and Abuja to 45mins. 10mins short of flight time for the same journey.
Re: President Macron Opens Morocco's N836b High-speed Rail Line, Africa's First Ever by nairalandbuzz(m): 11:11am On Nov 16, 2018
The irony of this is that Nigeria started her own project way before them and its yet to be completed... Most especially the Lagos light rail project that I can talk about...
