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.

Love from the land of the longest sgr in Africa, Tanzania
Thank you.
I think Tanzanie is in front of Nigeria on SGR
Wonderful
Thank you! Cheers!
Wrong, Algeria 🇩🇿, Libya 🇱🇾, drc, has oil 🛢 more than Nigeria 🇳🇬
I would argue with confidence that Nigeria is the first producer in Africa. I will probably agree with you that the countries you mentioned have more oil reserve than Nigeria
Amin! Mother Africa is on the mighty AWOKE ARISE! 2020 - 2026 or ELSE!~
Thank you. Given the number of huge ongoing projects in Africa. I think the continent is in a good direction in terms of development.
This is an interesting project
Thank you. Indeed the project will change Nigeria energy sector
What the fvck is wrong with your English? It's really disturbing noise listening to your video.
Big project love from Burundi
I think the project will be beneficial to Burundi in terms of transport
Magufuli was an amazing leader. It is sad that he left us to soon
Thank you. Indeed he was
An amazing project for Rwanda.
I wish this railway corridor be for the transportation of the poor Negros . 90 percent of the population of each of these countries lives in a extrem poverty. Lord this railway should have been for better living condition of the poor poor humans in this countries. May God guide protect and bless my poor fathers mothers brothers sisters uncles Aunties. Youths of these poor black nations.
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.
Will it be electrical like TRC Sgr?
Yes I think so given the amount of the investment. Anyways, most modern sgr are electrified.
Please, please, do not use the derogatory term “Third World Countries”, in your videos. That terminology is an insult to the peoples in poorer countries. The correct term to use today, is “THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES”. Do not forget that! Thank you.
Thank you for your constructive comment. I agree with you that we should refrain from using third word countries in the current days and use developing countries instead. In this case, i used it because back in 1960s and 1970s, they used such derogatory term to describe some countries in africa and latin america.
OMG thia is amazing
thank you
Thumbs UP china for funding Tazara.
Thank you
Wow this is one of the beat projects
Thanks
Can you please maka a video about kenya ? Anyways thank you🎉
I will. Thank you.
This is very good projects
Thank you
Thank you so much for the information
Thank you
Julius Kambarage Nyerere and Kenneth Kaunda were great african statesmen
Thank you for your constructive comment
Tz must be involved so as to connect the indian ocean
I concur with this assessment. Should Tazara undergo renovation, as anticipated, it may represent a significant advancement. In the future, Tazara could be linked to the Lobito Corridor, thereby creating an SGR that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean.
Africa wake up your head make this contract for benefits of your people don't be fools this weasten are looking for theirs benefits but when you see money your out of control very useless
Thank you ! Great job
Thank you too!
I don't trust usa
It is understandable given what happened in the past. However, I am hopeful that current policy makers in the involved countries have the abilities to make deals that are beneficial to their citizens.
Amazing Project for east africa connectivity
Are you sure it won’t get cancelled?
Probably yes or no. We will see😂
@@africanMegaProjects America said they’d fund it, but they must be getting something in return?
@@TheUKNutter as I explained in the video, USA and Europe main goal is to access critical minerals in Zambia and DRC. I do not also doubt that the railway will be also very beneficial to these countries in terms of transport.
He was one of the best leaders in Africa so sad we lost him😢
He was indeed
I liked this initiative. Maybe Tanzania, Zambia, Rwanda, Malawi, Burundi, DRC can join together to build Cargo Train 🚆🚂
I concur with your argument. I think the project of Central corridor would be an answer. But i am afraid it could take time before it is realized.
I think Nigeria has this capacity but western can't let us shine😅
I agree with you. Nigeria is also a country that has the capacity to host the Olympic games. I think two more countries in the same regional economic blocks can also host them together. As an example, EAC countries can host the games together.
Omg , i think it would be amazing if any african country host Olympic
We have hosted for the first time the world cup in 2010 in South Africa. The Olympic games have been there since around 1900 and we have not hosted them yet. I think it would be amazing if we can finally host them in the near future.
$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.
Thank you for sharing your thought.
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.
@@SIRLEE Only 1.6 billion is economically recoverable with existing technologies
Fantastic!!! You just gained a subscriber

Woww that is amazing
