Whoever is estimating Lagos to Abuja as 500km for you need a slap in the head

Note that if this route is feasible which is highly unlikely, it will be longer than this present one

Oga! The feasibility study has been carried out and it's 500km.

Na you engineer or surveyor?

Joebie:
the truth is we've had games we outplayed our opponents or even had decent goals ruled out and we did not get the maximum points.. I think in football there is time to play conservative and play all attack especially when you know your opponents are better as in these two cases (according to you)

I'm saying this coach needs to learn when to switch up play and be conservative. I think that's pretty a basic thing though i'm not a coach.
if you are going to be all out attack all the time, you will be met with situations like these.

This has to do with the quality of player and not tactical play.

Are you expecting Nigerian players to make this same error the Malin defenders did?

bisqit:
four titles in a row and still in the race. Who can beat that

With illegal dealing as alleged.

Joebie:
His stats for Mali specifically is average considering the opposition if we are to look at the results.

Outside Mali, his stars are poor

List the weak opposition he played with. Ordinary Rwanda dey beat us for house but you think there are still minors in African football.

Ojuntana:
Lagos to Abuja is not possible in 5hrs except your running like 160kmh non- stop
But I don't understand this route. How will you go from Kogi to Niger before getting to Abuja when both states are direct neighbours with Abuja?
Are you sure that route is possible? And why ministry of transport instead of ministry of works

It is possible to go through that route in 5hrs because it's estimated to be 500km.

I heard there's but I never went through that route before.

kettykin:
Ok

What is okay?

kettykin:
The question is not whether the high-speed rail project can be built but whether it can survive the weight of its own unsustainability. Feasibility studies reveal the grim truth: no proposed route is economically viable, as the cost to make it self-sustaining far exceeds what travelers can or will pay.

If the Ajaokuta Steel Mill were operational, we might have had a fighting chance—having its steel on loan to construct the rail tracks, injecting real liquidity into the steel industry, and repaying the debt through freight exchanges. So that the high speed rail can carry steel for Ajaokuta in exchange for the steel used to build the rail tarck .This could have resurrected the steel mill and turned it into a debt-clearing, revenue-generating business.

But as it stands, this project risks becoming another colossal failure—a monument to political mediocrity and reckless ambition. Let it not go the way of Ajaokuta, a perpetual case study in squandered potential and policy disaster.

Apparently, you didn't read or you lack comprehension skill.

Who told you Government is embarking on this project?

This is PPT project, mr man.

Well, you might be among those who claimed Dangote refinery was a failed project.

Nice one.

Ofemannnu:
sure

👍

zoedew:
This is fantastic! Better than to do business with the Chinese!

Exactly!

Ofemannnu:
Wow!!


He noted that the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, identified the Lagos-Abuja High-Speed Railway and Super Highway as a key economic driver in 2016 will be led by the AEC-Geofocus consortium.[color=#990000][/color]

This is what should be happening all over Nigeria.

Exactly, private investors should augment in building road and railway infrastructures in the country. This will reduce corruption and wastage of public fund.

Ofemannnu:
A PPP project?

Yes!!! PPP project.

helinues:
Another good news which we can never get tired of

Exactly!!! I saw the news since yesterday and I searched Nairaland to see if it was posted here but to no avail.

The reason I decided to share the good news.

I can't wait to see them start and complete the project already.

helinues:
Stop wasting your time. Even if he reads the article, how are you sure he would be able to comprehend it with fixated mindset?

No mind the guy. He is looking for front page hence his comment without readying.

DEXTROVERT:
Why
Not
Fix
The
Existing
Lagos to Abuja highways

Lagos through ilorin to Abuja is bad road, only some sections are been tarred

Lagos through lokoja is a death trap, the okene-ibilo-owo axis is unmotorable ,many have to take Ekiti tiny roads,

Why not fix them,

Just
Opening chop for padi
Padi-padi government

The Lagos Calabar one never reach anywhere

Citizens
Are
Crying in hunger

Did you read before jumping to make comment?

This is a PPP project. Government is not contributing a dime for this project.

However, Ilorin and Lokoja roads have been captured on the budget for this year.

Looking forward to this project.

It is totally different from the proposed Standard gauge from Lagos - Ibadan - Abuja built by the Chinese. I guess that project has been abandoned for this Double gauge from Lagos - Abuja by AEC - Geofocus.

This will go a long was to improve transportation, trade, security etc along the corridor. Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, Kogi and Niger states will benefit significantly from this project.

Akin to Lagos - Calabar Highway and railway project undertaken by HIGHTECH.

Good news to know one can drive down to Lagos within 4 - 5 hours on constant motion. Unlike, the bad roads and insecurity along the route to Lago - Abuja.

If one wants, one can ride on train and get to either Lagos or Abuja within 3 hours. wow.

Expert assures Lagos-Abuja super highway, high-speed train ‘ll boost economy
By editor - January 7, 2025 188 0

By Adeyinka Adeniran

Director of Operations at Geofocus, Engr. Mutiu Idris has expressed strong confidence in the Lagos-Abuja Super Highway and High-Speed Train projects, emphasising their role in transforming Nigeria’s economy.


With this initiative, he said Nigeria was poised to unlock unprecedented economic potential, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s vision for a prosperous, modern and efficient transportation sector.

According to him, addressing Nigeria’s infrastructure deficits, particularly in road and rail transport, is essential for driving economic growth, wealth creation, and sustainable development in Africa’s largest economy by GDP.

He noted that the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, identified the Lagos-Abuja High-Speed Railway and Super Highway as a key economic driver in 2016 will be led by the AEC-Geofocus consortium.

He said that the Lagos-Abuja corridor, spanning approximately 500 kilometers, will connect Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, Kogi, and Niger states before reaching Abuja, under a design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Maintain (DBFOM) model.

Idris noted that AEC-Geofocus, a consortium of engineers, planners, and investors, has successfully attracted $16 billion from Middle Eastern investors, with additional interest from European financial institutions and the World Bank.

The financial framework, he explained, was designed to minimise government expenditure, safeguard public funds and prevent cost overruns through an efficient risk-sharing mechanism.

Idris described the high-speed train component as a double-gauge rail line capable of speeds up to 250 km/hr, with two main stations in Lagos and Abuja as well as 11 intermediate stops.

According to him, the bullet train traveling at 250 km/hr, will cut Lagos-Abuja travel time from 10 hours by road to just 3 hours. The Super Highway will reduce travel time to 5 hours.”

He also mentioned that the super highway would feature eight lanes, two service lanes, and 13 tolling points, supporting faster and safer travel between Nigeria’s two key cities.

Beyond transportation, Idris revealed plans for ten smart cities, one million housing units and an independent power plant, positioning the project as a transformative initiative for Africa.

Expressing optimism, he assured stakeholders of a grand project flag-off before February 2025, reiterating AEC-Geofocus’ commitment to delivering world-class infrastructure.

He praised the Minister of Transportation, Senator Sa’idu Alkali, for his commitment to transformative infrastructure, underscoring the project’s potential to revolutionise Nigeria’s transportation sector and economy.

PHIPEX:
Show you paper because you are who? Continue in your toxity, time will tell

Show government not me olodo

Earthquakes:
Did the government tell you the document was missing?? How about the big banks and foreign companies that invested in landmark?? So the all didn’t do due diligence?
How about the lands with c of o been reallocated in Abuja? No documents too??
You poor today no mean say you go poor tomorrow, one day Nigeria will happen to you and we will ask you same question 😁😂

I know the government might be unruly sometimes but in this case, I don't think Lagos state or anybody sold the land where he built the swimming pool to him.

minfelix:
You see this man and these his national team stat, omo forget it, he is made to coach national team…he is a national team coach material…forget about all those club mumbers…If this man handle teams like Angola,Ghana,B/Faso,CIV and some other decent african teams and stay in africa for more years….these guys will be a crazy force to reckon with….
22games
14 wins
5draws
3loss.
Walai Mali FA are just so stupid to sack a coach with these numbers…they are sacking coach asif they have ever played world cup before…coach wey una for still keep faith with..6more world cup games to go and you sack him…just 4points behind Ghana amd comoros…mtschewwww Africa and impatient…tufiakwa!!

I totally agree with you. Mali FA no dey think but it is better they sacked him for us to pick him up.

Imagine what he will achieve with better players in SE.

Kog45:
Born in Ivory Coast and played for Mali national team,yes Papa na French man and Mama na Mali but from all information he is more of African.

He is not different from Dresser. We know he is a Nigerian but with Belgium father.

minfelix:
thats the stats circulating round official pages o

It's impressive. I no go lie if true.

This guy just want to use Lagos state to win his investors sympathy.

Show us land paper that proved where your swimming pool was rightly demolished was bought and owned by you.

We developing a recreation center in Lagos knows you are not letting us know something.

minfelix:
decent enough… its not a must we get a coach that has won afcon and come and flop with us

This is very impressive ooo. Just 3 matches lost out of 21. Hmm.

Kog45:
Chelle international passport read Malien

Mother is Malian.

Mujtahida:
A black man is not a Frenchman. French people are white Caucasians. Enough of this transevaluation of values. That's how men became women and women became men.

Actually, he is a French man. His father is Franch.

Gradually, we are getting there.

The goodnews is, the company will flag off the project before February.

That's good.

We are just wasting our resources on this war doing the same over and over again.

My advice to the government to thward and eliminate this extremist are:

1. Build wall and trenches around the borders like wall of Jericho. Make sure it's wide enough for armored vehicles to patrol the length and breathe on the wall.

2. Build underground tunnels around these borders too.

3. Provide citizenship identification card for all citizens to register with their birth certificates and certificate of indigeneship from place of birth and place of origin respectively. NIN card has been compromised.

4. Ensure all immigrants residing in Nigeria have legal documents. Anyone without one shall be deported.

5. All Nigeria youths from 18 years above must be trained in the army for 2 years.

See em mouth.

ujuchike:
It depends on the duration of your program, the school and the city. In most cases, school gives breakdown of your tuition and cost of living, and the sum of both (tuition and cost of living) determine the total amount for your pof. But to be on the safe side 20mil and above is ok.

Okay. I understand now. Thanks alot. I really appreciate.
