Abuja Metro

Abuja Rail Mass Transit is a regional rail transport system in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. It was the first rapid transit system in Nigeria and the second such system in sub-saharan Africa. The first phase of the project connects the city center to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, stopping at the Abuja-Kaduna Railway station in Idu. The Abuja Metro Line was launched on 12 July 2018 and a three-trains-per-day service opened for passengers the following week. Passenger services on the line were suspended in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resumed on May 29, 2024, with four trips per day on both lines, and all the stations on both lines fully operational.
