Just how will Nigeria’s proposed bullet train run in a country where electricity supply is erratic? The proposal has got sceptics pointing out that although 50 percent of the nation’s 250 million people have access to electricity, the supply is unreliable.

But that has not dimmed many Nigerians’ excitement at the $60 billion project, proposed by a group of foreign and local investors who are now awaiting federal government approval.
