The project is expected to be completed in six years.

The Federal Executive Council has approved $11.17 billion to link all Nigeria’s coastal cities by rail in six years., briefed State House correspondents after the virtual FEC meeting presided by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“The first one actually has to do with the Kano-Jibia rail and the other one has to do with the Port Harcourt-Maiduguri rail. “And then, also another memo that was approved today was the ratification of the president’s approval for the award of contract for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Standard Gauge.’’Mr Mohammed said under the former administration, approval was given but nothing was done.“This particular route is very important because after the Lagos-Kano route, this Lagos-Calabar Coastal route actually will link all the coastal cities in the country.
