 10 multi-billion dollar mega-construction projects in Africa. Africa My Africa is a land of beauty, enchantment, and culture. This continent built key infrastructure to support its fast-growing population. As Africa keeps growing day by day, the burgeoning middle class continues to drive the middle class demand for sustainable social infrastructure. There are some mega-projects on the continent where work is ongoing to support the fast-growing population. There are 10 multi-billion mega-projects ongoing in Africa, which you will find interesting.

Grand Ethiopian Dam This dam is formerly known as the Millennium Dam and is a gravity dam under construction on the Blue Nile Bineshenkel Gimmas in Ethiopia. Work on this dam began in 2011, and more than 70% of the work has been completed at home since then. This dam is built to be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa, and globally, it will be the 7th largest. It is estimated that the reservoir will take 5 to 15 years to fill with water. People will always talk about you in everything you do. Be it good or bad, people will always talk, even if it is for their benefits. I sent this because this $4.8 billion project is facing criticism from some people who argue that it has displaced nearly 24,000 people. 9. The Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project This power project is ongoing in Nigeria, and the reason for this is that we all know that Nigeria has a problem with electricity, and the only way to solve this is to come up with a project. Despite the fact that this project has been planned for more than two decades, this project is worth $5.8 billion, and it will cut across three dams across the Donga River in Turaba State, Nigeria. The facility will have a total install capacity of 3,050mW of electricity. 8. Modervontein Mega City This mega project is being built in Johannesburg, South Africa. This project is a Chinese-funded project and is a hub for Chinese firms investing in Africa. This $8 billion project is designed by the Shanghai Sendai Group and is the company's first venture estate. This project will serve as a major source of employment on the African continent after its completion. According to speculation, this project, which started in 2015, is expected to be completed in the next 15 or 20 years. I know it seems a long way away, but no, it does not seem far, but it is far. But looking at the greater picture, we have given a lot to benefit when this project is over. For instance, the level of industrial activity will be very high. The most important part about this is, development will be available, especially residential development. 7. Kenya Standard Quad Railway Kenya is constructing a 969km standard railway, which will run from Mombasa to Malaba. This railway is going to be one of the largest and most ambitious transport projects in Africa. The first phase of the road starts from Mombasa to Nairobi at a kilometer of 472, which costs $3.27 billion to complete. Moving to the second phase of this project, the railway will be constructed from Nairobi to Naini Vashu between 120km and a cost of $3.7 billion. Another railway is expected to move from Kasumu at a cost of $1.5 billion. This Naini Vashu project is currently understood construction. 6. Bagameo Port Tanzania is not left behind in this race of mega projects, which is why it is constructing a 11 billion port at Swahili, which is going to be the largest part of East and Central Africa. There is a trip state venture between Tanzania, China and Oman. The port is being built by state-owned China merchant port, while a Mali sovereign wealth fund will establish a 1,700 hectare special economic zone adjacent to the port. This port is going to be able to handle 20 times more cargo than the Tanzanian capital port, which is also the country's the largest port. 5. Lido's Calabar Railway This building is for transportation in Nigeria because traffic is something else. This project will connect to the following cities, Port Harcourt, Uyo and Aban. Once this project is completed, the traffic problem in Nigeria will be solved. The project was initially constructed by a Chinese company, but was later passed on to the Americans when they could no longer fund it. 4. Dan Gotay Oil Refinery Dan Gotay is a very wealthy billionaire in Nigeria who has the world's second largest refinery. This refinery produces a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. As a result of this, economic growth is being boosted and thousands of jobs are being generated for citizens. The refinery generates 95,000 direct and 25,000 indirect jobs. More importantly, the refinery is expected to increase the country's oil exports and reduce its reliance on imports of petroleum products. This refinery is really a big deal for Nigeria because it does not only serve as a means of employment but also a medium for development. 3. Kansa Technology This is a smart city project that is coming to the eastern part of the country. This project is a version for 2030, but nevertheless the features of it are expected to generate about 17,000 direct high-value jobs and further 68,000 indirect jobs once it is then completed. This project will be located 64 kilometers south of the capital of Nairobi. Its target is the business outsourcing process, software development and research institutions. The overall budget for this project is $14.5 billion. Kansa has also attracted several wealthy investors including the Korean University. This project is giving Africa a promising future. I'm sure you'll beg God to let us live long enough to enjoy that future. 2. Egypt's New Capital Egypt is constructing a new capital city that will be named the administrative capital. The reason this project has not been completed is that the withdrawal of funds by the World Bank in July 2016 put the project on hold for some time. It is located 45 miles east of Cairo and according to the building plan, it will have 21 residential districts and 25 commercial districts. The city will have a recreation park which will be double the size of that of New York City. Other features in this capital city will include technology park, 4,000 hotel rooms, a theme park four times the size of Desnilent, 2,000 educational institutions, 1,250 mosques, 663 hospitals and clinics and a new international airport. 1. Grand Inga Dam The Grand Dam is a hydroelectric dam at the Inga Falls on the Congo River. The dam is designed to have an average 39,000 NW annually. This dam will be bigger by two times than those in China. The project was supposed to begin in 2016, but something went wrong and it did not. But according to records or plans, the dam is expected to provide power to nearly half of the continent. To pull off such a project requires capital, which is why the estimated budget for this is $100 billion, which includes the cost of transmission lines needed to carry the power across the continent. That's our rundown of the mega projects in Africa. From the above, I hope you were informed and see that the African continent has a very promising future.
