Feasibility Completed for 13 Major Nigerian Railway Lines

Feasibility studies are done for 13 new rail corridors across Nigeria. They range from coastal routes like Lagos–Calabar and Benin City–Warri–Calabar to northern links such as Kano–Dayi–Katsina–Jibiya and Sokoto–Ilela. Key routes include the high-speed Lagos–Ibadan–Osogbo–Baro–Abuja line and the Benin–Onitsha–Enugu corridor. Other proposals cover Lagos–Shagamu–Ijebu Ode, Port Harcourt–Maiduguri, and more. Funding remains a challenge. Two options are on the table: 1. Secure loans with prudent financial planning. 2. Invite Nigerians abroad to join a public-private partnership and invest in these projects.

I wonder if high-speed links really address everyday commuting needs, or if local shuttle improvements should come first.

Starting with upgrading existing tracks might deliver quicker returns and build momentum before tackling extensive new routes nationwide.
