Traxport Rail Services Ltd, a Nigerian rail freight company, has entered into a Technical Support and Investment Agreement (TSIA) with Vecturis, a Belgian rail operations and management company, to enhance freight rail operations in Nigeria. The agreement focuses on scaling operations along the crucial Lagos–Kano corridor and potentially expanding beyond. This investment aims to modernize and improve the efficiency of rail freight transport in the region, leveraging Vecturis' expertise in rail operations and management. The deal also involves CET Group as an investor, further bolstering the financial and operational capacity of the project.
