    Building this network is the most important thing we have ever done as a country. I hope we can do as much as possible by ourselves so we can save Forex and more lines. We need to connect every single major town by rail within the next 20 years. Plus urban metro lines in every major city.

    You’re truly a blessing to our knowledges. Note this down, you’re the best content creator on economic development and advancement in Nigeria. I’m always looking forward to your contents. I implore you to do a very critical analysis on “fuel subsidy in Nigeria” as many people doesn’t know what actually it means. I hope you’ll give it a consideration and I’m looking forward to it already. Viva 9ja

    I totally agree that we should start developing our own local technology. We churn out Engineers from our universities. And as you said, there are technicians who have worked alongside the Chinese on these rail projects. Why not use them to develop our local infrastructure instead of running to foreign contractors for things we can do ourselves? Imagine the amount of money we will be saving if we do this?

    Can the video maker let us know why a Nigerian railway line is planning to run all the way to Maradi in Niger Republic a totally separate country from Nigeria ? Are there no other areas in Nigeria that the extra station planned for Maradi could go? Why not also provide rail links to any other countries in the southern areas of Nigeria if this is supposed to be about anything positive?

    In 12 years Nigeria has spent 40 billion dollars on fuel subsidy,that alone is enough to build all the rail lines in nigerian.East west line,12 billion,lbadan to kano,5.3 billion,kano to maradi and Eastern corridor to north 12 billion...With change left to pay asuu, fund universities and build world class healthcare.lnstead they waste it on fuel subsidy for the rich and start borrowing for critical, national infrastructures.Upside down mentality!

Nigeria spend money subsiding fuel for imported cars, money leaving the country just to buy cars abroad for a subsidised petrol at home? Can't you see you are losing money at both end? The true cost of subsidy to Nigeria in 12 years is cmore than 100 billion not even the 40 billion dollars.

      @@cristiano4289 Car consumes more fuel on bad roads, in potholes than on good roads. If Nigeria spend half of that money they waste on subsidy on road infrastructures Nigeria will have some of the best road and that will reduce cost of travel, the cost of living etc.. Its not just about how much you pay at the station, its about how far you can travel with 100 naira fuel for example. Quality roads brings down the cost of travelling, in the end people will be paying far less for going further distances. With the subsidy spent on roads food stuff can be transported across the country easily, which will reduce the cost of food stuff as well. With the subsidy spent on good road network people can engage in commercial activities,farming, hotels, restaurants, tourism and desire to go to places, generating revenue, therefore able to actually afford petrol. That is what most Nigerians don't see. It too much money too just burn on petrol when you can transform the country's infrastructure with it, which will in turn transform the lives of every citizen.

    Another reason y the ajaokuta steel company needs to work. Nigeria is basically funneling money to the Chinese steel sector. This project would have required half of it's present cost to build. The airlines suffer cost of the high cost of fuel. If Nigeria does not fix her refinery and provide adequate fuel to power her economy even the train will suffer and they should privatize NRC ASAp

    The next government must complete all of the undergoing projects of the current government and then open up the east and the entire Niger delta by connecting it to Lagos by rain and on the sea routes. After all it’s our oil money and most of the projects are usually between Yoruba and Hausa land only with only the Niger bridge for the rest of the regions. Projects in a federation should be balanced. The youths and education has been neglected nation wide and this need to change too. Good luck to the next president because he will arrive buried in a mountain of national debts and an avalanche of problems. We must give him a shovel to dig himself out so the problems don’t destroy him before he can serve us properly.
