Must govt lie about everything.
Why claim the lagos state newly purchased trains have the speed capacity of 330km, making it the fastest in africa.

Fact check:
As stated from the manufacturer's website, the talgo series 8 train purchased have a maximum speed of 200km.

Has Sanwo-olu been scammed or was this deliberate misinformation for political gains?

In my opinion, the purchase of quality trains for the lagos metro project is quite laudable as it is. There is no need putting that fastest in Africa tag on it.
What Lagos needs is just the trains to be operational, and not super fast, because clearly the route distance cant even allow for such high speed between each train station, also coupled with the fact that the tracks are exposed to high human and vehicular density within the city.

We need progress, not lies. Otherwise we keep breeding mistrust between the citizens and the government, making it more difficult for the people to support the government in achieving goals.

So for a train, 200km/hr is slow?

The fastest train in africa is in Morroco, is about 310km/hr

Even from the shape of the trains head you can tell she was not designed operate above 130km/h and a top speed of 200kmh

The fastest train in africa is in Morroco, is about 310km/hr

See the head of the Morocco train..you can see it was designed aerodynamically for speed

If nigeria's corrupt politicians don't tell lies what will they gain? Its already in their blood to misinform and mislead the nigerian masses.

Was it government that made the claim or a blogger?
