The Lagos-Abuja Super Highway and High-Speed Train Project is set to tentatively commence in February 2025. This transformative initiative promises to redefine transportation and urban development in Nigeria with the following features:
✅ A 500-kilometer super highway and railway connecting Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, Kogi, Niger States, and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
✅ Implemented under a Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Maintain (DBFOM) model.
✅ A $16 billion investment led by AEC-Geofocus, a consortium of engineers, planners, and investors.
✅ A high-speed rail line with a double-gauge system, capable of speeds up to 250 km/h, featuring two main stations in Lagos and Abuja and 11 intermediate stops.
✅ Rail travel time between Lagos and Abuja will be under 3 hours, while road travel will take less than 5 hours.
✅ An 8-lane highway with 2 service lanes and 13 tolling points.
✅ Integration of 10 smart cities, 1 million housing units, and an Independent Power Plant within the project’s scope.
This project is poised to be a game-changer for Nigeria’s infrastructure and economic growth.
