During the Land-Linked Zambia Conference and Exhibition, Railways Africa Magazine editor Phillippa Dean interviewed Osaruyi Orobosa-Ogbeide, Senior Vice President: Project Development and Investment at Africa Finance Corporation (AFC).

In this insightful conversation, they discuss AFC’s involvement in several major rail infrastructure projects across the African continent, including the Kano–Maradi Railway between Nigeria and Niger, the Benguela Corridor from Angola to the DRC, and the new Greenfield Railway project connecting Zambia to the Lobito Corridor.

The discussion also highlights the significance of the recently signed intergovernmental agreements, the project development timelines, and AFC’s role in the Kinshasa Metro project. Beyond rail, the interview explores AFC’s activities in the aviation sector, infrastructure readiness for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and the corporation’s position on carbon markets and sustainability, including the importance of Africa having its own voice in global environmental and critical mineral discussions.

This interview showcases AFC’s commitment to driving transformational infrastructure across Africa, contributing to economic development, regional integration, and sustainability initiatives.
