Let us not forget the hard-working Nigerians who are busy getting things done unlike the haters who come online to rant bitterly against a landmark achievement all Nigerians should celebrate as a sign of what we expect to see in most States of Nigeria, in the nearest future, all converging into one modular and interlinked modern national rail transport system.

The technicalities involved in this project is beyond the one employed in pirating CDs, so why don't you just shut your mouth?

[size=17pt]Lagos governor says first light rail project to be completed by Dec 2016[/size]

LAGOS | By Alexis Akwagyiram and Ulf Laessing

Nov 5 Nigeria hopes the first phase of a light railway aimed at easing traffic jams in the commercial hub Lagos will be ready within 13 months, and is inviting bidders for an expansion, Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode said on Thursday.

China's state-owned China Civil Engineering Construction Corp (CCECC) began work on the $2.5 billion scheme in 2010, hoping to open the line in 2011, but the project has suffered delays that are typical in a country plagued by graft and mismanagement.

The railway is part of efforts to ease traffic congestion in the port city, where some of the 21 million residents get up as early as 4:30 a.m. to make it into their offices by 9:30.

In particular, it can take as much as four hours to cross the single bridge to the Victoria Island business district in the morning, though the island will not be served directly by the new line.

Asked about a start date for the line, Ambode told Reuters: "By December 2016, that should be delivered."

He said a tender for an expansion had been opened, and that a total of six lines were planned, to connect northern and southern Lagos.

Ambode also said Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the world's biggest retailer, which has said it is committed to Africa, had held talks with officials in July about the possibility of opening stores in Lagos.

Nigeria has the continent's biggest economy and Lagos alone has a bigger GDP than Ghana or Kenya.

"They are looking at it, exploring it. But there is nothing definitive yet," he said. "They intend to come back."

why all this criminal and continued postponement of the completion date of this project? I personally, I am getting tired of this continued postponement and delay.

The light rail running through Lagos downtown is expected to relieve the heavy burden on the city's fragile road network,
with the help of a Chinese construction company.

Why can't we build it ourselves?
