Cape Town to Cairo is an ongoing project connecting southern African to Northern Africa. Each country is building its own infrastructure and there is no noise about it from the citizen of those countries.
Since 1973 there has been a plan by ECOWAS to build West Africa railway

from Calabar to Gambia. Each of nations was supposed to build it's own system. Nigerian internal railway systems is mainly two trunks Port Harcourt to Maiduguri and Lagos to Karau Namuda. There also plan to build railway from Calabar Chad republic which is of strategic

importance for Nigeria. Our eastern plank is getaway to the rest of Africa and to the Asia with population of close to 4billion people. This railway could have given us right to provide cargo services for Central Africa republic, western Sudan, South west of Niger republic, Chad

republic and South East of Libya. We lost the opportunity to even build Chad republic oil Refinery and host their crude oil pipeline.
West Africa stands a chance of economic isolation in near future without strategic investment. We are facing only the Atlantic ocean and

separated with hostile north Africa by the Sahara desert. That is why we represent chuck deadly migration to Europe. We have wasted precious time in plans without action.
The Kano-Katsina- Maradi railway is subset of bigger trans saharan ecosystems for future trade and developmt

Nigeria stand the chance to become import and export port for Niger republic. This could also give us access to atlas mountain area rich in phosphate for our agricultural sector. The world is not your village, think big and invest strategically for next generation...
