A batch of trains rolled off the production line of China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) Nanjing Puzhen Co., Ltd., on Sept. 12, and will be shipped to the Port of Lagos in Nigeria a month later, according to reports.

These 10 standard-gauge trains were ordered by Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) in May this year. They have adopted Chinese standards, and will be the fastest trains running in Africa, with a design speed of 160 km/h. Operation speed could be as high as 150 km/h.

Lagos Senator, Senator Gbenga Ashafa was among the Ministerial Delegation that inspected some of the rail coaches expected in Nigeria by the N R C (next quarter), in Nanjing, China on September 12.

Gbenga Ashafa, chairman of the Nigerian Senate Committee on Land Transport, believes that the Chinese trains will definitely improve the railway development of the country. He said Nigeria is a fertile land open to foreign direct investments with a high return rate.

According to the CRRC Nanjing Puzhen, it is the second order placed by the NRC. The first of five trains was ordered in 2015 and delivered in 2016.

CRRC Nanjing Puzhen has finished 10 orders for six African countries so far, including Nigeria, Sudan, Cameron, and Kenya.

Thinking to see "bullet"train but alas check out these shit! What are we doing with these locomotives What is the difference between these and what APC roundly condemned that GEJ gave Nigeria? APC remains the grand deception of the century.Jokers!

Op take your time. Stop insulting us in Nigeria with this fastest train bull shit

Buhari self!

OK

They can't even tell us simple things such as the path which the so called fastest trains will be plying.

I can bet my ass it is that Abuja to Kaduna rail track route.

These jokers are here bragging about 160km/hr trains when China built trains running as fast as 431km/hr as far back as 2004. Nigerian politicians are clowns but I can't blame them, they know their constituents are gullible bonobos whom are easily lured over with free bags of rice and mosquito nets come election day.

Jokers

Old craps as trains!!! Fit for the museum!

Meanwhile, the level of hunger in Nigeria is very alarming! The recent size of N50 akpu is giving me sleepless nights. Very soon, the poor masses will be divided into two groups-the canivores and herbivores...those that will find nothing to eat and end up eating their fellow citizens and those that will find nothing to eat and end up eating grasses, flowers and plants of all kind!!!

160km/hr fastest train?
