Nigeria: Chinese-built railway goes into operation in Nigerian capital Abuja
Abuja, Nigeria - May 29, 2024
Storyline:
The first phase of a new Chinese-built light rail system opened in Nigeria's capital Abuja on Wednesday, with residents hoping it will ease congestion and cut commuting costs.
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu led a ceremony to celebrate the opening of the train service, attended by other Nigerian politicians, celebrities and representatives of Chinese builders.
The newly opened phase consists of two lines stretching 18 and 27 kilometers, respectively, connecting the city center, the airport and major city suburbs.
Twelve trains purchased from China will run on the light railway, with a designed maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
Eight round-trips a day will serve 12 stops along the line, speeding up travel for the city's residents.
Zhang Zhichen, executive director of China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation Nigeria, said Chinese builders will also provide follow-up services for the operation of the railway for a period of three years, including staff training and maintenance of the facilities.
