" Verheijen works in Lagos, one of the world's fastest growing megacities – and one of the most congested. The simplest journey here can be a trial of will. But Verheijen believes he can do something to break the deadlock.
"I think it will dramatically change the face of Lagos," he said. "It's cheaper than the alternative, it's faster, it's safer, it's more reliable, it's more environmentally friendly. Many railways laid during Africa's colonial era have decayed due to neglect, leaving Cecil John Rhodes's Cape-to-Cairo fantasy more remote than ever.
