I have been seeing many tweets that are not honest about the Kano-Katsina-Jigawa-Niger rail line.
Some people are saying it is of no economic benefit to Nigeria.
I will share my honest views and why it is an economically viable project
First, study the map of Africa

Niger is a landlocked Country like Uganda Is.
Niger imports everything they need from France, India, USA, China etc from Countries around them that have Ocean lines.
By land mass, Niger is bigger than Nigeria.
A potential agro business destination for Nigerians

Borno state is twice the size of the south East in Nigeria.
at least 4 times of Borno is what you need to add to Nigeria to be the size of Niger.
They are heavily into Agriculture (Beans, Onions, Rice, Livestock, Soybeans, Maize, Sorghum, Millet )
They farm 3 times what we farm

Building a rail Line to connect such a market is to our favor because if we have plans to have all seaports in Nigeria busy then we must create a market for them.
One of the reasons seaports cannot be viable in Akwa Ibom and Calabar is because there is no market

And people will say now that there is market.
Question is. Have you seen real seaports ? Miami, Shanghai, Kenya, etc.
If you see those ports you will know that Apapa and all Lagos ports is a small shop.
We need to expand our market to our neighbors

Currently the export between Nigeria and Niger is not organized.
That beans you just ate most likely came from Niger. the beef you just ate too. the tiger used in that tiger nut drink also.
Niger supplies us most of those things currently.
Incase you do not know

It is needed for the govt to establish a structured rail line and port relations with Niger.
With that, USA, India, France etc can use Akwa Ibom, Calabar, Onne which are better seaports than Lagos to trade with Niger.
Just how Kenya is used for Uganda

We also on the other hand can invest in Agriculture in Niger republic using the AFCTA grounds.
Now, Invest in a farm in Niger, move produce to Nigeria where there is population.
Or better move produce to Nigeria for export with Niger trade partners in Uyo or Onne

Also, there is Mali, Burkina Faso, Algeria markets that we can access through Just Niger.
Do not always see things from sentimental and political angles always.
Learn to wear your business glasses sometimes.
15 years from now, these things will be Booming

In Africa, Landlocked countries are the targets. They are populated with large land mass. Uganda is over 100 million people.
Niger is an estimated 200 million People market. And you think accessing such market for trade is a wrong move ?
The rail line is a good move

Currently we are losing out with the Benin,Togo trade. EU and France are using those countries as shops to sell to us only.
What can Togo and Benin buy from us. You can drive Togo in an hour. Surulere is more populated than Togo.
So what can they buy ?
Niger is a market worthy

We will be foolish to allow the Niger Import and export business to Togo and Benin only.
Northern Nigeria is the Agric hub of Nigeria.
Exposing their farmers to a new 200 million people market is worth it.

Nigeria heavily imports beans from Burkina Faso which passes through Niger to get to us.
In Lagos alone over 2000 cows are slaughtered daily. Most come from Niger.
Leathers, Steel, Rams.
Niger produces 1million tonnes of Onions yearly and we import
