The construction and operation of the first rail system in Africa that uses modern Chinese standards and technology. This 180km rail line that connects Abuja and Kaduna was commissioned 2 years ago at a cost of $500 million.
Today the Abuja-Kaduna rail line is functioning efficiently with no issues. Indeed, a sign that Chinese technology is world class.
The construction of #AbujaMetro, the first urban rail system in West Africa. It’s a $500 million project, and was commissioned in July this year.
Nigeria is leveraging Chinese funding to execute $3.4 billion worth of projects at various stages of completion. These include the upgrading of airport terminals, the Lagos – Kano rail line, the Zungeru hydroelectric power project and fibre cables for our internet infrastructure.
Less than 3 months ago, Nigeria signed an additional $1 billion loan from China for additional rolling stock for the newly constructed rail lines as well as road rehabilitation and water supply projects.
The projects mentioned, demonstrate the high level of consistency and commitment China has shown in boosting its relations with African countries under the umbrella of FOCAC. – President Buhari yesterday in his remarks at the #FOCAC2018
