Nigeria’s high speed rail project initiated by President Goodluck Jonathan has been rated among the global top 100 world-class infrastructure projects by KPMG.
The rail will connect Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Warri, Bauchi, Abuja, and Port Harcourt and will cost the country $13 billion, much of which will be financed with a loan from the Export Import Bank of China.
The China Railway Construction Corporation has secured the contract to build the 3,218-kilometre network, which will be digitally operated using fibre-optic cables, radio communication and wireless services.
The project is designed to cover 54 stations and will take 25 years to build.
In the report, The Infrastructure 100: World Markets Report, the KPMG panel of judges said the project “will remove heavy freight from Nigeria’s stressed roads, could save the country millions on road maintenance”.
Other African projects on the list are: Khi Solar One (South Africa), Square Kilometer Array (South Africa), PRASA Rolling Stock (South Africa), Kudu Gas Field and CCGT Project (Namibia),Trans-Saharan Natural Gas Project (Nigeria to Algeria), Mombasa-Kigali Railway (Rwanda), KivuWatt (Rwanda), Jinja Bridge (Uganda), and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Terminal (Kenya).
In its note, KPMG said the report highlights key trends driving infrastructure investment around the world.
A global panel of industry experts identifies 100 of the world’s most innovative, impactful infrastructure projects showing how governments are coming together with the private sector to overcome funding constraints to finance and build projects that can improve quality of life – both solving immediate needs and planning for future societal demands.
The report looks at infrastructure based on the dynamics of four key markets: Mature International Markets (like Canada, Australia, and UK), Economic Powerhouses (including the US and BRIC countries), Smaller Established Markets (like Chile, Sweden, New Zealand, Korea and South Africa), and Emerging Markets (including a number of economies in Africa).

r u sure?? Cos Ojukwu and Gowon did more evil.

but u no say him do evil?

dem no get answer....no waste ur time...even Buhari himself has no clue hw he wil solve dis issues! He is jst as cluelss or if nt more clueless dan Gej..watch his Channels interview?

www.vanguardngr.com/2014/12/m-u-h-m-m-d-u-b-u-h-r-interview-want-flee-take-free-run/ anoda interview of buhari...anoda hints of his state of cluelessness(if dats an eng word)!

courage54:
U people have accuse Buhari of so many things without proving proof to persecute him. Why not provide fact and charge him for any crime u think he has committed.

My Unborn Children and Generation won't forgive me when they hear that I supported a president who says stealing is not corruption.

and also ur unborn child wil hate u for suportin anoda who belivs BH are fitin for their rite! And av any evidence against Gej? Bruhahas wil neva seize to suprise us!

holatin:
Shey mc abbey think this is comedy.
Can't he rule a line between politics and comedy.
He is big cook for screwing with buhari words.
What is he trying to gain with this attention seeking scheme ?
Nonsensical demokit of barbatuarious homosapien.

comedian are actually very intelligent..he is famous already and he has d rite to his opinion of anybody includin ur Buhari...bruhahas(new name for Buhari Nl officers)

koladebrainiac:
Fani Kayode is trying so hard to pin this crisis on APC or Buhari.

For once that statement is not bad at all. Its kinda approach to solving it then. Its just the same thing Obasanjo has been trying to say. That Government should use Carrot and stick approach to solving boko issue. We all realized that itwas the killing of the first leader of Boko haram that escalated the crisis to this level . So government should try to demoralize boko haram and stop them from gaining acceptance from any public.

dat statement is nt bad at all?? If u can say dat, den Gej too can say coruption is diff from stealin too! Ahhhh...eyin eyan..jst imagine if ur duta dey among those chibok girls!

courage54:
I will only take Fani-Kayode serious only when he has been exonerated from all the corruption charges against him. In a saner society people like FFK alt to be in prison for money laundry.

MY FAMILY AND I WILL VOTE AND SUPPORT BUHARI NO MATTER WHAT because

You don't expect me to vote for a president who says stealing is not corruption.

You don't expect me to vote for a president who supervises the kidnapping of more than 200 girls without taking any action. Because if my sister happens to be among those innocent girls I won't be happy.

You don't expect me to vote for a president who supervises the killing of more than 16 graduates in the last immigration exams without taking any action to compensate their families. Because if my love one happens to be among those innocent graduates I won't be happy.


You don't expect me to vote for a president who grants amnesty and presidential pardons to those corrupt public office holders who has loot our country dry.

You don't expect me vote for a president who has not done anything meaningful for the last six years.

My conscience won't just permit me to vote for Jonathan who has a six years opportunity to create a change but went viral into cluelessness.

The time for change is now

Vote BUHARI for President

God Bless Nigeria
God Bless Niger-Delta

and in a saner country where wil ur buhari be..my gess, long dead prisoner!

sweetgala:
Terror is not a new thing in the Nigerian Scene , what has been most important is how a leader deals with such. I heard what the total military expenditure has been in the last six years recently,a large sum in billion dollars was mentioned and I was insanely shocked.

GEJ is functioning well above his pay grade , it is time for him to move on.

Good riddance to Bad rubbish

aw is it not a new tin? Military hardware are freakin expensive, they are nt luxury cars!

kestolove95:

and u guys wil stil call him clueless for not disclosin wat he is doin! naija i hail.

slightlyMad:
all other parties need to merge and produce someone

i like u! But dem no get forsite....buhari and Gej no fit help!

Comsol:
Oh sh1t! This is an embarrassing speech, couldn't even read a speech fluently and eloquently that was written for him. I used to think that GEJ is bad in speeches but this is worse.
I have listen to many bad speeches in my life time from people but this one eat the biscuit to say the least. Buhari lacks confidence, ideas, charisma, economic sense and above all he lacks leadership.

Nigeria deserves better than this, after all the noise on social media I thought I should listen to what he has to say but behold I was disappointed with this speech. Like this is not enough, I tried listened to the recent interview of this guy on Channels TV, his incoherent analysis on issues and coming to terms with reality was mind-boggling.

Buhari is not fit to rule Nigeria in this 21st century. With the fast pace of things in this modern age, we need leaders that can think on their feet within split seconds and make strong and robust economic decision. I'm really disappointed 'abi we de live life de go back ni?'

infact d guy is actually d clueless one!

sweetgala:
2 years actually, and you might want to go review the improvements experienced then written in nigerian history for all to see.
I read an article recently that revealed they were so much pressed with sense of duty that Buhari/Idiagbon did not concern themselves with rumours of an impending Babangida Coup .

Compare that to GEJ who has spent the last 2 years instigating political battles.

Gej has been faced wit d greatest challenge of all as a country, terror and ill educated nigerian masses like u!

deji68:
True for people who know the difference , as a millitay ruler u can do what u like, .....under democracy u are bound by laws, and decision making is a long process, so if u achieve so little as millitary ruler, how can u achieve much in short time span as a democratic president

tank u...educate dem...they need it n dats Gej is buildin skools for dem in d north but dem no one stil go

Bemigho Reno Omokri is the Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media. In this interview with ABIODUN ALADE, he pooh-poohs what he terms the propaganda and lies of the opposition about his principal. On President Jonathan and his achievements President Goodluck Jonathan is the best
president Nigeria has ever had and I am
backing this with facts. I am not moved by
opinion, I am moved by facts. Let me
corroborate my stand with five facts. Number
one, according to the United Nations record, Nigeria life expectancy was 47.5 years in
2009, a year before President Jonathan took
over. As at today, according to the same
United Nations Human Development Index,
which is released annually, Nigeria average
life expectancy is now 52 years. Since record has been kept, this is the largest life
expectancy in Nigeria. When President Jonathan took over power, the
World Bank listed Nigeria as a low income
country, but, today, Nigeria is a middle income
nation.
In 2010, Nigeria was the second largest
economy in Africa but it is the largest economy in Africa today.
Also, according to the International Food
Policy Research Institute which undertakes
research on global hunger index annually,
Nigeria is improving. Prior to President
Jonathan assuming office, the country has been sliding on the global hunger index but
since he took over Nigeria has been improving.
In 2005, our index was 16.1 but in 2013 it
reduced to 15 and this year it is 14.1. On the final score, President Jonathan, during
his declaration speech, said he is proud there is
no political prisoner in Nigeria; as a matter of
fact, Nigeria has become so free under
President Jonathan that those in exile were
able to return home. Some chose to attack him, others chose to support him but the obvious
thing is that there is no consequence because
we have a God- fearing and philosopher king as
president. Insecurity The issue with insecurity can best be
answered by the military. But I will say that
never in the world has a conventional army
been used to destroy terrorists. Nigeria has
had high success in peace-keeping all over the
world because we have been meeting with conventional war. Terrorism is a new threat
and we have to develop special forces to deal
with this threat and, to the best of my
knowledge, that is going on at a very advanced
stage and, very soon, we will see the effect of
that. I am very confident that in no distant time, Nigeria will overcome the Boko Haram
insurgency. Our soldiers are already being
trained in special operations so we will, in the
near future, bid farewell to insecurity
occasioned by Boko Haram in the country. Impact of largest economy on the citizens It is an opinion to say that the transformation
of the economy is not impacting on the lives of
Nigerians. There are seven billion opinions on
earth and if you are going to live by that, you
will be an unstable person. Facts support the
notion that the economic progression Nigeria has made under President Jonathan is trickling
down to the citizens. For the first time in the
history of this country, we have 14 million
farmers registered with the ministry of
agriculture. They received fertilizers and
seeds directly from the ministry. Of the 14 million, two million are women. It has never
been done anywhere in the world; other
nations like South Africa and India are coming
to learn how we did it. Now we are talking of
14 million farmers which is clear evidence that
Nigerians are benefiting from the economic progress made under President Goodluck
Jonathan. The per capital income of Nigeria, which was
1090 dollars in 2009, is 1800 dollars today.
Today, you can take a train from Ido terminus
in Lagos and be in Kano at the cost of N2,250.
You can charge your laptop on that train. You
can move within Lagos with air-conditioned fast trains. These are facts but obviously, the
opposition will not want to paint the president
in his true colour because they are desperate
for power. One of the roads built by Jonathan’s
administration President Jonathan has ensured that every
state that did not have a university now has
one, he has ensured that almajiris who did not
have school before now have 150 schools of
which he planned to build 400. This is a man
who has impacted on the lives of the everyday average Nigerians. In the rural areas, there is a conditional grant
given to women that attend post-natal care in
health centres. Over 80, 000 graduates have
been able to find internship through the
Graduate Internship Scheme. 4, 000 Nigerian
youths have been given grant of between two million and ten million naira to start up
businesses which have empowered and
employed tens of thousands of people through
the YOUWIN (Youth with Innovation Nigeria)
scheme. These are brilliant initiatives that
have never be done before to impact the lives of Nigerians. Sadly, some people with no record to show will
speak negative of the president. For 34 years,
the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has been left
dormant but today, it is witnessing one of the
fastest constructions on earth- Julius Berger
starting from the Lagos side and RCC starting from the Ibadan side which will ensure they
meet at a point to complete the work on time.
Where has that been done before in Nigeria? It used to take nine hours to travel from Lagos
to Benin but President Jonathan ensured that
the Benin- Ore Road was reconstructed not
repaired. Today, that same journey takes three
hours and the Coordinating Minister of the
Economy, Prof. Okonjo Iweala, took that journey herself to verify it. So President
Jonathan is impacting on the lives of everyday
Nigerians. Corruption and the president’s body language Let us look at facts and not opinion. In this
country, one of the greatest avenues of
corruption is the procurement of fertilizer for
farmers but today, the Jonathan
administration has addressed that and
ensured that farmers get fertilizer directly from the source. There is no middleman, thus
the country is able to save over two billion
dollars annually which was in the past
frittered away. Over 50, 000 ghost workers have been
weeded out of the civil service, the FG is
saving over three hundred and fifty billion
naira annually by that singular act. These 50,
000 have been there over the years. This administration is not interested in show
trial where you arrest people, do a trial with
the media having sensational stories but in
fairness, how many people that went through
this show trial are in jail? You fight corruption
at the root and weed it out. I can state categorically that there is no anti-
corruption president like Jonathan but being a
philosopher king, he will not dance to the
gallery; he will fight corruption accordingly.
The opposition has saturated the media with
negative information.

naija celebs sa! Una one sa dey feel among! E ku ise
