Overview
Finally, the Lagos-Abuja Super Highway/ High-speed Train Project set to commence tentatively by February 2025! Key features of this transformative project are:
It will be 500 kilometres, super highway/railway that will connect Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, Kogi, Niger States, and FCT, Abuja.
It will have a design, build, finance, operation, and main (DBFOM) model.
The $16 billion project will be led by AEC-Geofocus, a consortium of engineers, planners, and investors.
The high-speed train component of the project will have a double-gauge rail line capable of speeds up to 250 km/hr, with two main stations in Lagos and Abuja as well as 11 intermediate stops.
This will make Lagos-Abuja travel by rail to less than 3 hours, and by road to less than 5 hours.
The highway will have 8 lanes, 2 service lanes, and 13 tolling points.
Captured within the scope of the project are 10 smart cities, 1 million housing units, and an Independent Power Plant.
This is another game-changer loading under 9 years of @OfficialAPCNg administration. We will never relent no matter how loud losers wolves cry.
