Nigeria's railway system has been in existence for over 100 years. But following years of neglect and mismanagement, the creaking service began to fall apart. For years, it was not an easy journey to travel from Nigeria's northern business center of Kaduna to the capital city of Abuja.

Nigeria, Africa's largest economy, has long aspired to modernize its aging railway lines to create economic corridors across the country and pursue transformative megaprojects. 

And now, everything is changing. Railways along the Belt and Road and mega-infrastructure projects like airports, sea ports and light rail are helping realize Nigeria's dream of making its 219 million people more prosperous.
