Since I was privileged to cover and report on two breakthroughs while boring the 37.9-kilometre English Channel Tunnel between Folkestone, England, and Calais, France, for the BBC Hausa Section, I have become fascinated by railway projects. I track such projects in Nigeria and elsewhere in the world.

The Federal Government incurred a significant loss of N13.2tn in foregone revenue as a direct consequence of the implementation of its foreign exchange subsidy policy between 2021 and 2023, the World Bank has stated. It said the government lost N2tn in 2021, N6.2tn in 2022, and N5tn in 2023. The amount forgone in revenue was due to its insistence on regulating the value of the naira against the dollar in the official exchange market but allowing a fair market value price at the parallel market.
