Tinubu’s Ambitious Rail Plan: Feasibility Studies Completed on 13 New Routes

The Federal Government has wrapped up feasibility studies for 13 strategic railway lines under President Tinubu’s infrastructure agenda. Key routes include: Lekki–Maiduguri; Itakpe–Abuja; Lagos–Calabar coastal; Port Harcourt–Maiduguri; Benin–Onitsha–Owerri–Aba with a branch to Enugu; Lagos–Shagamu–Benin; Zaria–Sokoto; high-speed Lagos–Ibadan–Osogbo–Abuja; and others totaling over 5,000km. Funding remains a challenge. Proposed solutions are securing loans—while maintaining fiscal discipline to satisfy lenders—and attracting Nigerian investors abroad through public-private partnerships.
