Why Nigeria Is Building a Railway Under Its Capital

Beneath the heart of Nigeria’s capital, a bold transport experiment is taking shape. Abuja already operates a metro system that has carried millions of passengers since its 2024 relaunch. But what most people don’t realize is that planners are now proposing something far more ambitious — an underground rail corridor, built just 8 meters below Eagle Square, designed to directly connect trains and buses into one seamless system. In this video, we break down: Why Abuja is digging under its own capital city How the underground rail connection is supposed to work The revival of Abuja’s once-called “ghost train” The missing rail extension that could decide the project’s success And why other African cities are watching closely This isn’t just about one tunnel. It’s about whether African cities can finish complex infrastructure, integrate transport systems, and build public transit that actually works at scale. If Nigeria completes this underground link, Abuja could become a model for urban transport across West Africa. If it doesn’t, it risks becoming another unfinished vision. So the question is simple: Will Abuja finish what it started? 👇 Let me know what you think in the comments 👍 Like the video if you enjoy infrastructure deep dives 🔔 Subscribe for more stories about cities, transport, and mega projects in Africa
