It was the first Monorail transit in Africa! It was the first demonstration of intracity rail system in Nigeria.

Even though the Calabar mono rail does not run through the main city itself and is only 2.5 kilometers between the Calabar International Convention center and Tinapa Resort, it offers a glimpse into what Nigeria’s intracity public transit can be.

It shows that Nigerian cities are capable of building efficient public transportation systems and urban city planning .

The Calabar International Convention Center is one of architectural masterpieces in not only Nigeria but Africa and the world . I’m very proud that the structure is located in Calabar . Though now the structure stands lonely , yet that’s just a tip of the iceberg of the futuristic structures and highrises coming to the Kingdom of Calabar within the next 15 years .
