China-built Lagos Blue Line, W. Africa's first cross-sea light rail (13km, 5 stations), opened in 2023. New Chinese trains boost capacity in 2025; Phase 2 completes in 2026. Over 14 years, Chinese engineers trained local talent, cutting commutes from 2h to 30min. The project created 4,000+ jobs with affordable fares. Ex-minibus driver Inka rose to manager, symbolizing Sino-Nigerian collaboration. STEM outreach at Lagos University inspires youth to adopt Chinese rail expertise. (Photo/China Youth Daily)
