As we all know that Lagos is almost the most populated states in Nigeria .Due to its project it might become one of the greatest city in Africa

Some of the project include:

1. Lagos to calabar railways cost $11bn

1,400-kilometres long and at the cost of US $11bn, the Lagos-Calabar railway is one of Africa’s most ambitious projects. The rail project will link Lagos in the west to Calabar in the east, while also connecting the cities of Port Harcourt, Uyo, and Aba along the way. Once completed, this transportation network will significantly enhance the movement of goods and services across the region.

2.Eko Atlantic

Finally, Nigeria has its own smart city, mega project called Eko Atlantic. This new coastal city is being built on Victoria Island adjacent to Lagos, Nigeria. It is a focal point for investors capitalizing on rich development growth based on massive demand and it’s a gateway to emerging markets of the continent.

The proposed Eko Atlantic is expected to accommodate at least 250,000 residents of the city on the project completion. The Eko Atlantic project extending over 9 square kilometres and is also expected to have positive effects in restoring and protecting the state shoreline. At 7km and 40 metres wide, the islands’ walkway will be the longest in the world

3. Lagos light rails

Light Rail is a light rail system, the first of its type in this region of Africa, is envisaged to eventually consist of seven lines (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Brown and Orange). The scheme is approximately 35-kilometre in length with an estimated ridership of a minimum of 500,000 passengers per day. The following fourteen station locations are proposed.

The Blue Line is now being built by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) and will run 27.5 km from Marina to Okokomaiko, with 13 stations. Lagos State is financing construction of the Blue Line from its own resources.

4. World free trade center

The World Trade Centre project is a partnership between the FCT Administration and the First Continental Properties Limited, a subsidiary of Church,gate Investment Limited. This will be the first such centre in West Africa, joining 323 other locations in 89 countries worldwide in the WTC network.

The first stage required to be building of two 24 storey towers, one commercial and one residential, which will be joined by future structures such as a 37 storey hotel and a shopping mall

5. Lekki free trade zone

Lekki Free Trade Zone (Lekki FTZ) covers a total area of about 30 square kilometres with 27 square kilometres for urban construction purposes, which would hold a total of 120,000 residents. Approximately 50 kilometres from the city centre of Lagos, the economic capital of Nigeria, Lekki FTZ borders Lekki Lagoon in the north and faces the Atlantic in the south.

Lekki FTZ designed to integrate industries, commerce & business, real estate development, warehousing and logistics, tourism and entertainment etc.

A considerable number of construction works will be carried out in the Commercial and Logistics Park, including the international commodities and trade centre, the international exhibition and conversation centre, industrial factories, office buildings, hotels and residential apartment buildings. The Commercial and Logistics Park on the long runs is expected to serve as the logistics and distribution centre of Chinese products in West Africa and represent a service demonstration base for the entire Lekki FTZ.

6. Abuja gateway airport

The Abuja Gateway Airport has been designed to be a stunning solar powered gateway that will have the shape of the traditional Nigerian bow harp,the design connects the new Abuja Airport to the central area on the opposite side of the free-way and comes complete with green roofs, giant solar canopy and bricks made from local laterite clay.

Ehrlich Architect’s design symbolizes the weaving together of the country’s many different people. The sweeping gateway brings together the city of Abuja’s modern atmosphere with the cultural heritage of Nigeria as a whole. The plan features an amphitheatre and public space with a photovoltaic canopy to provide power and shade visitors from the sun. A green roof covers nearby buildings making them melt into the surrounding greenery.

7. Mambilla hydroelectric power project

As Nigeria looks to boost its energy production to match the needs of its booming economy and population, the government has finally invested into making the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project a reality. The US $5.8bn project will connect to three dams across the Donga River in Taraba State, eventually generating a total installed capacity of 3,050MW of electricityThe proposed Eko Atlantic is expected to accommodate at least 250,000 residents of the city on the project completion. The Eko Atlantic project extending over 9 square kilometres and is also expected to have positive effects in restoring and protecting the state shoreline. At 7km and 40 metres wide, the islands’ walkway will be the longest in the world

We have Money for these projects and Trust me it is a much needed development in Nigeria but the money will be stolen and re-stolen until ànother decade before action is re-taken. God bless Nigeria.

Good, But Is This Frow The Borrowed Money?

You made mention of mega project and you didn't include the Danoite refinery and Ferterlizer in the list. In fact it's bigger than all the project you mentioned and costlier than anyone of them.

They're mega indeed. I hope the government would complete them in due time and not the usual way we already know. Op, why dont u mention the 2nd niger bridge, it's also mega.

What of Dangote Refinery and the current Ajahkota to Kano Gas pipelines project and as someone above me mentioned the Second Niger bridge project?

Vision 3030

I am glad you didn't add 2nd Niger Bridge which has been added as a mega project by all administrations since 1999

most of the projects you listed up there will still not be completed in 2050

Slow and steady..

Wow!
This is misplaced priority meant to tunnel public funds into few private pockets.
If the FG wants to be honest, with that $11Bn, they can build a Dangote sized refinery of 650,000 bpd and employ hundreds of thousands "gainfully", while making healthy profit that can help build another such refinery or start a more feasible and realistic rail project.

Another senseless fund tunneling project put largely in place to milk the public and fulfil selfish desires.

it will be a thing of joy if the project is not highjacked by politicians. Most of this project are public and private partnership

Nice concept for this one, if done at reasonable cost, then it would be cool.

This is the most foolish comment among all the comment here. How many refineries have the FG built with Nigeria money n where are they today ?!

This is another subtly One-Nigeria project. Instead of trying too hard to develop this or that region at the expense of another, why not take these $5.8bn, $11bb for rail and few billion for A city to build good refineries that can help employ hands "gainfully" and turn us profit? They won't do that because it is against the idea of one-Nigeria where money from one region was meant to be used to develop another.

Ignorance. It's private sector driven

This tops it. The most useless analysis ever

So what's the management skill the FG is going to employ for managing these projects that is different from the one they used for older refineries? You should learn to think before typing and realize that these projects are largely being rushed because it helps put money in few private pockets above all.
