From Mangoro or Ojota should be within 20k to 30k
Note: No train yet from Lagos to Lokoja

Illiterate, there are over 20 ministries. Each ministry with its own projects. If you want to pay school fees, Education ministry is giving NELFUND, if you want car loan, finance ministry is giving CreditCorp. But to say loan can't be used for road infrastructure, we have to review your education.

What's the collateral for these loans? At what rate? How are they to be repaid? Why is that never made public?

Or are the details in the Appropriation bill?

Tinubu is saving the future of your children, you myopic kid. 97% of our revenues was used servicing debts. We were borrowing to pay subsidy. Use your head. Refineries are back. Before there was no refinery, people were eating subsidy money and killing our refineries. Wailers think!

If I talk now they would say GDP of Kano and Kano combined is less than that of IMO state

So what is the volume of trade that would warrant this investment? Can then train ever break even or make profit? No

The only viable train root in Nigeria are

Lagos -Abuja... If you put it at 50k pet seat people would pay

Lagos - Benin- warri to port Harcourt to aba
- asaba to Onitsha to owerri

Put this train at 50k per seat it would be full on most rides


Put Kano Kaduna rail at 10 dollars and watch it run empty

Lagos Ibadan rail run empty most of the time because buses are far far cheaper than it
Though you are not informed that is why you talk.
Just as Lagos is to south that is how kano.is to North.

You are looking at population... I am looking at economic population

How many people moving from Kaduna to Kano would pay 20k plus because that's the the of fee required for such project to break even

Kano has very small economic viable population

Who says population? Economic value,the way Lagos is economic hub of the south is the same way Kano is economic hub of the north.Is like you have never been to Kano before,I dey there now, people from all the north must come here for business before you can be called a true business person

Re: FG Gets $255 Million Chinese Loan For Kano-Kaduna Railway Project by normaman(m): 12:23pm On Jan 09, 2025
So by my calculations, 1km of the track goes for 1.3million dollars which invariably translates to 2.1 Billion Naira given $1 to N1,644. Can't say if amortization (since it's a loan) figures has been added to Bring it to this humongous digits. These sort of recklessness breeds hopelessness seeing a country you seem to love being destroyed by a group of disingenuous fraternal individuals who would stop at nothing but amass fortunes of generations to come.

Can you please google GDP and what it measures

Stop embarrassing yourself please

GDP is the measure of the total economic activity within a geographical area within one year

The total economic activity in Kano and Kaduna combined is less than that of IMO

This means that the average IMO person is far richer than the average Kano person so have more disposable cash to purchase train ticket at a higher price

Rail projects should not be a priority for an insolvent country with many critical infrastructural deficits. This is a maddening waste of money. Who gives a flying Bleep about Kano-Kaduna rail that terrorists are probably going to bomb?
