Nigeria $60 Billion SGR Masterplan: Is It Realistic ?
#megaprojects #nigeria #railway #africa #africacontinent #naijanews #naija
The railway system in Nigeria has undergone significant evolution, marked by periods of progress, decline, and revitalization. Initially built during the colonial era to transport raw materials from the hinterlands to the coast for export, the network expanded over time. However, due to inadequate maintenance, it eventually fell into disrepair.
Recently, the Nigerian government has been modernizing the railway system, shifting from narrow-gauge to standard-gauge tracks as a key part of this process. The first major project was the Abuja-Kaduna standard-gauge railway, which began operations in 2016, aiming to improve transportation efficiency and boost economic growth.
Additionally, the government has launched further projects, such as the Lagos-Ibadan and Lagos-Kano standard-gauge railways, to enhance connectivity and support economic development. Despite facing financial and logistical challenges, these projects are crucial for Nigeria's long-term growth and integration into global markets.

      I believe it is important to be polite and use appropriate language. While it may have been the case during colonial and postcolonial times, African leaders and policymakers are currently aware of the challenges and tasks that need to be done to develop their own people. Therefore, I would like to kindly request that you refrain from using vulgar and disrespectful language.

    $64 billion is little money to make from 1.6 billion barrels and since the 64 billion is being shared between Uganda and Tanzania, this makes it even more sad. This is pure theft. This oil will not bring any major changes in Uganda. I hope we can get a wiser president who can make better deals.

      Uganda has 6 billion barrels of established oil deposits from less than 20% of explored land for oil. So you can expect the total deposits to increase in the near future given the ongoing exploration. Plus the pipeline is also expected to offtake oil from eastern DRC where significant oil deposits exist, as well as oil from South Sudan.
