Nigeria has announced that it plans to go ahead with the construction of a 4 000-kilometre high-speed rail network to connect key economic corridors, enhance trade and promote national integration.
This comes after the Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Senator George Akume, met with management of De-Sadel Nigeria Limited and its financial partners, China Liancai Petroleum Investment Holdings Limited, in Abuja.
The meeting served to formalise the 60 billion proof-of-funds presentation for the project.
