What was the implementation contract value for Abuja Rail Mass Transit Phase 1?
Abuja Rail Mass Transit Phase 1 comprises Lots 1A and 3, a roughly 45-kilometre railway linking central Abuja with Idu, Kubwa and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. The two-line system was built by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, commissioned on 12 July 2018 and returned to commercial operation on 29 May 2024 after its pandemic-era suspension. This project record covers the implemented first phase, not the proposed 290-kilometre six-phase network.
