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).

Well we have more chance with Jonathan than Buhari

we have a worse history of not being included in anything buhari does

and btw looking at the full map the SE is covered

PDP just need to sustain this program with leaders who believe in this project

Donald Duke should be brought back to PDP by Jonathan and made FCT Minister

That may position Duke for higher office in 2019

Ok, you have to be more careful with the comments you make.
Vultures (like the idîot above)are lurking around looking for whatever they can use in turning the south east against GEJ.
They make it seem like Buhari is the answer to all.
I had to open a thread yesterday asking what BUhari did for the South east or even their won South west when he was head of state and PTF chairman, none of them could come up with any answer.

ok sir

Jakande had a plan for mono rail in Lagos which would have greatly reduced traffic congestion, the coup plotter Buhari came in and cancelled it. I am sure if he's elected in 2015 he'll do the same as the man only cares about his aboki brothers. GEJ till 2019!!

APC hate this! Why would anyone allow the public to see this. In liar's voice 'nooooooooooooooooooooo'
