Skyway String Transport Technology wants to move passengers from Lagos to Abuja in 45 minutes with its fast cable light rail project that is designed to reduce gridlocks along the route .

The light rail will travel along the over 500 km geographical distance between Lagos and Abuja at constant speed of up to 150km per hour in about 3hrs,but has capacity to accelerate up to 500km per hour.

Their aim is to reduce the rate of traffic hold up and roads accidents along the Lagos-Abuja route.The multi-million dollars project will also boost tourism through sightseeing as well as reduce travel time .



The Regional Head of the Company , Mr. Arogundade Samson,stated at a gathering in Lagos to sensitive members of the public on the project that Skyway String Transport Technology “is fully committed,possess the technical know how and financial capability to deliver the project in good time”, as long as it enjoys support and cooperation of the Lagos and the Federal Government.



The high-speed transport system is eco-friendly, comfortable ,safer and much cheaper when compared to all existing solutions. 



When compared to other forms of transportation, a non-stop flight time from Lagos to Abuja is between 50 mins and 1hr 15 mins while the 755.4 km  (470.2 miles) route through Sagamu-Benin expressway takes between 11 to 13 hours by car.

What do you think?

Bogus white elephant project. It ends on paper

Mulatta:

It's even a scam

This.

Ask yourselves, how many Western countries have such a long distance transport system like this? Absolutely laughable the claim to be faster than a plane. Surely people can see this?

It is totally impractical given the small carriage sizes and vast cost to create the line. There is a reason why developed countries opt for high speed rail lines. Yes, it is expensive but it is proven. Do not believe these lies.

I love this... you make your money ppl live a life worth living. you save human resources
And not burning our lives on the road everyday
If things like this plenty for nijja the mases would be happy.

Another propaganda.
Na here we go dey when an African country will build its satellite locally and launch it into space.

So long as its cheaper than flying & saves time it would go a long way

Wait a min... This one go expensive oo 45min Lag to Abj
Na Lamba these men dey throw give us again ooo.. Election done near

Is it a private sector-govt partnership??

from the Nigeria I know, this is not going to happen. do u know the level of technology that's required. forget, I am not being unpatriotic. just ask air Nigeria

allthingsgood:


U are part of the problem in naija matter. Pessimism, negative attitude and doubt!

I tire for all kind people. I keep saying until we citizens get into our right thinking frame our challenges won't give way, we are our own problems.

Wow! This is a welcome development.

@ KSK SOLAR SYSTEMS we are committee and have the technical know how to provide you with an alternative power supply via solar power systems. See my signature for more info

Good project.

Once again, the African gods have arrived to save the day of railway issues in Nigeria.

We wonder when these same working and collecting gods, will help us on electricity.


I swear, until the next graduation, any person wey go carry that their cultist and sorting degree for head, around me, go fit chop better slap.


If na to shout go and marry, we sabi that one. If na to go one dirty place with dead animal bones and possibly humans, we sabi that one according to our movies. But when we suppose cooperate, we dey do mumu movement.

God Bless Buhari. Amin

This is their usual MO: talk in superlative terms about this technology to federal and governments around the world, trying to gain some traction with an unproven system. It's an interesting idea - using smaller vehicles overhead, which require less infrastructure to build - but does not move as many people as traditional trains.

If they get assigned the contract, money will just get siphoned... it's the way of people in government

Will this work in Nigeria?

franzis:
It can't work, with our unstable and epileptic electric power supply

They will call you names like skeptic etc but it is the truth. Our people will even climb up there to steal metal to scrap. It will not work. Within Lagos maybe but not Lagos to Abuja

The good thing from a safety point of view is that this will never see the light of day.

The bad thing is that money will be looted as usual.

the same way the lagos - Ibadan - kano rail project is coming to reality. if it comes to reality it will be for the better of all, always hope for the better.
better days are ahead, Nigeria would not continue like, it won't last long.

Bolustical:
This is so commendable.

SW is a goal.

Lagos-Ibadan, Lagos-Calabar and now Lagos-Abuja

I will rather be a 'slave' and get these THAN be a 'master' living
inside erosion threatened enclaves.

.... Apparently you are pulling legs... Otito koro sha

Can Nigeria herself do without the city? I mean the great city of Lagos in the South West

Just as you rightly said it ends on paper

Olukat:
Rivers monorail loading for zombies

over #400 billion spent on an elephant project.
Amaechi the maradona. He wants to dribble Buhari with this project. Over $5 billion will go down the drain b4 2023.

Amaechi is a goal

Mulatta:
what we need is mass transit, it doesn't look efficient

where is your village? Igbotako or ugheli

little by little a bird build its nest,little by little we will get there,and this is one of the reason why u should'nt vote idiots as leaders,vote credibility,vote integrity

Google the company

Epe to be precise, are you happy

Wow, good news, most passengers won't fly plane if it comes to pass.

iamJ:
Doing it wouldn't be bad but after they do some site seeing and investigation

They will end the project, plenty people have had this plan, no be by drawing straight line from Lagos to Abuja, so many things makes company that have this idea to change their minds

People will go and start stealing the cables, there is no power to power it, if you do its own power generation, people will tap the current and spoil it, they will put more than the required number of people inside a cabin, they will mess it up in a year, they will be rapes, robbery and deaths, some will bomb it's support beem, militants will attack it's stations, I swear eh, they should just forget it

Why are you so pessimistic?

If that's your thinking, then relocate to Chad.....

we like to decieve ourselves in this country , it can't simply work it just another propaganda by the present admin , or can you tell me why the Lagos and Rivers rail project embarked upon by their previous government is yet to be delivered despite billions of naira pumped into it , or is out poor maintenance culture .

Sad but true.

It’s a miracle the quantum of businesses that take place in Nigeria in spite of the lack of the most basic amenity- adequate electricity.

It will work,only a matter of time,That is where the opportunity to make money is in an emerging economy,infrastructure.

Because it takes years of planning and execution for infrastructural development,not going to a church or mosque for an overnight miracle. What part have you played in any PPP in Nigeria?before you start complaining or social development is not part of your duty?
