Speeding smoothly across Nigeria's bustling landscape, the Lagos-Ibadan Railway is a testament to innovation and connectivity.
As of March 5, the Chinese-built railway has been operating safely for 1,000 days with passenger traffic exceeding 2 million trips.
Built by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, the Lagos-Ibadan Railway connects Nigeria's economic center Lagos and the southwest industrial city of Ibadan.
