The Federal Ministry of Transportation has refuted recent reports suggesting the imminent launch of a high-speed bullet train between Lagos and Abuja that would reduce travel time to approximately three hours.

In an official statement released on February 19, 2025, the ministry clarified that while Geofocus Consortium submitted an unsolicited proposal for the Lagos-Abuja bullet train project in 2016 under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, the proposal has not advanced beyond preliminary stages.

The ministry emphasized that the Outline Business Case (OBC) is still under review by the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), pending necessary financial documentation from the consortium. citeturn0search7

The ministry urged the public to disregard the misleading reports and called upon Geofocus Consortium to issue a public apology for disseminating inaccurate information. It also advised media outlets to seek official verification before publishing such claims to prevent the spread of false news.
