''Nigeria's Interstate High Speed Rail Project has been listed amongst the world's top 100 infrastructure projects'' - GEJ

President Goodluck Jonathan posted on his Facebook page that Nigeria's Interstate High Speed Rail Project has been listed amongst the world's top 100 infrastructure projects by KPMG.

According to The Cable, the Infrastructure 100: World Markets Report, the KPMG panel of judges said the project

“will remove heavy freight from Nigeria’s stressed roads, could save the country millions on road maintenance.”

In Mr Jonathan's statement, he said;

''I received the news that Nigeria's Interstate High Speed Rail Project has been listed amongst the world's top 100 infrastructure projects with a sense of fulfillment that this administration's desire to link our commercial and administrative capitals is receiving global affirmation. Coming at a time when the Abuja-Kaduna rail project has reached near completion stage, one can say Nigeria is witnessing a railway revolution. This Forward March to progress will continue, with your cooperation, until Nigeria's infrastructure, be they roads, schools, airports or hospitals, are listed as amongst the best in the world. And by God's grace, this will happen in the not too distant future.'' - GEJ
