Man u al is an insight into the development of the
road sector under the administration of President
GoodluckEbeleJ onathan,GCFR.
A careful study of this report highlights the
importance that the Federal Government attaches
to infrastructuredevelopment especiallytheroads.
Thisemphasisre-affirmsMr. President'sdeclaration
that, the transformation agenda in the road sector
seeksto deliver better and safer roadsto Nigerians,
as well as to link the six geo-political zones in the
countrywithdual carriageways.
In furtherance of the transformation agenda in the
road sector and in its urgent bid to meet the
yearnings of the public, the Federal Ministry of
Works has also embraced some institutional
reforms which will pave way for private sector
financing of road infrastructureinNigeria.
In order to achieve this aim, the Ministry has
embarked on the development of human capacity
to cater for this new trend of road infrastructure
development throughthePublicPrivatePartnership
(PPPs).Already,anumber of OutlineBusinessCases
(OBC) hasbeenprepared for candidateroadsunder

Ahmadu BelloWay, Victoria I sland, Lagos All of these could not have been possible without
the management reforms in the Ministry. These
reforms at the inception of this administration in
2011, gave room for the creation of Six Zonal
directorates of Highway Construction and
Rehabilitation, and the restructuring of the former
Departments of Highway Planning and Designinto
six Departments at the Headquarters (Planning &
Development, Road Design, Bridge Design,
Materials; Geotechnics &Quality Control, PPP and
RSDT).
The Zonal Directorates are each headed by a
Director domiciled in the six zones and this has
helped in close grassroots supervision and
monitoring of projects.
The Federal Ministry of Works is also in close
collaborationwithmulti-lateral agenciessuchasthe
African Development Bank and World Bank in the
financing of therehabilitationof somecritical roads
acrossthecountry. Thereisno doubt that theroads
inNigeriaaregetting better and thehopes arestill
high.
I am therefore using this opportunity to call for
private investors' participation in the financing of
road infrastructureand development inNigeria.

Nigeria ranks tops compared with other countries in Sub-
Saharan Africa in terms of road network. The country has the
largest road network in West Africa and the second largest, south
of the Sahara with an estimated 200,000km of road network
connecting villages to cities, the distant with the near and the
inter-land with the urban market.

In Nigeria, socio-economic development goes as far as road
infrastructure improvement can attain. This is simply because to
connect means to grow. In order to catalyze the present rate of
growth and development of the economy, the requisite road
infrastructure must be put in place. According to a report
(Reforming Road Transport in Nigeria, 2009), Nigeria ranks tops
compared with other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa in terms of
road network. The country has the largest road network in West
Africaand thesecond largest,southof theSaharawithanestimated
200,000km of road network connecting villages to cities, the
distant withthenear and theinter-land withtheurbanmarket.
Today,95%of bothpassenger and freight movementsareby road in
Nigerialargely dueto inadequacy of other forms of transportation
inthecountry. Thefederal roadsaccount for only about 17%of the
total national road network but accommodate more than 80%of
national vehicular and freight traffic bearing in mind a 2.533%
population growth rate per annum. In addition, new vehicle
importation in the country increased by 45%in 2011, and the first
half of 2012recorded anincreaseby 15%compared withthesame
period in2011. Apparently, Nigeriaisgetting morecarsontheroad
making reformationand maintenanceof theroadsvery essential.
All of these indices clearly justify the need to enhance road
infrastructure delivery to support this expanding populace.

Executive Summary
3. Executive Summary
infrastructure is indicative of the fact that the country has fallen
short of international benchmarks.
Against this background, the Federal Government of Nigeria has
recognized the challenges and opportunities inherent within the
nation's road infrastructure sector. Moreso, the government of
Nigeria has also identified a workable approach to tackling the
challengesfacing thesector whileharnessing theeconomic gainsof
an enhanced road network. As a proactive approach, the Federal
Government has embarked onroad sector reforms whichbasically
seek to improve service delivery, enhance management capacity
and create a conducive institutional, legal and regulatory
framework through joint participation with the private sector in
financing and management of theroad sector. Also inaddition, the
government has beenableto secureconcessionloans frommulti-
lateral and bi-lateral agencies for road sector development. The
RSDT programisbeing funded by thesetypesof concessionloans.
Furthermore, it is the view of the government that with the
involvement of the private sector in the road sector, growth and
development will befacilitated.Typically,good roadsimply reduced
travel timeand vehicleoperating costs and providethenecessary
ingredient for development of other forms of transportation. In
addition, economic, commercial and business activities will also
thrive along these routes by virtue of increased traffic flow and
hence profitability. This is evident by the visible effect of road
infrastructure development on real estate property values. One of
the critical factors that determine the value of any real estate
property or itslocationaretheamenitiesavailableinproximity and
oneof suchamenitiesisprovisionof road infrastructure.
Essentially,thisreport wasgenerated to document thestateof road
InfrastructureinNigeriaand theinvestment potentials inNigeria's
road infrastructure sector. In addition, the report highlights the
existing opportunitiesthat theprivatesector investorscantakehold
of in partnering with the public sector. Both parties will partner,
through a Public Private partnership (PPP) structure, to provide
good roadsfor strategic routeswithvery highpotentialsasregards
returnonequity.
Whilethis report is intended to beaveritableadvocacy document
that will guide potential private sector investment, it would also
proveuseful to relevant stakeholdersinvolved inthedevelopment,
construction, maintenanceand management of road infrastructure
inNigeria.

Introduction
4. INTRODUCTION
The total road network in Nigeria is estimated at 200,000kmand this
represents the principal means for freight and passenger movements
1
across thecountry. TheRoad transport assumed amoresignificant role
and most utilized modeof freight movement sincethecollapseof therail
systemin the 1970s/80s. Today, road transportation accounts for nearly
95%of all modes of transport and estimated N200b growing at 10%per
annumcompared withother developed economiessuchasSouthAfrica,
UK and US.
2
Transport is the cornerstone of civilization as it is an essential part of
human activity. As society and economic organizations become more
complex, the relevance of transport grows. Road transportation in
particular plays a significant role in the economic development of any
nation, reasonbeing that alargeproportionof itseconomicactivitiesare
largely dependent on an efficient network of roads. Indeed, no two
locations will interact effectively without a viable means of movement
fromonepoint to another.
3
A 2005 study by Willoughby underscored the correlation between
transport and economic development. The studies advocate that socio-
economic development can be catalyzed by the presence of
infrastructure. If thesefacilitiesand servicesareabsent, development will
beverydifficult and infact canbelikened to averyscarcecommoditythat
canonlybesecured at averyhighpriceand cost.
4
Moreso, according to study byCesar and Surhid, Road infrastructurehas
been identified to form a major factor for economic growth and
development of any country. In this study, an empirical approach was
employed to explore the association between road infrastructure and
economicdevelopment. Thestudyrevealed that thereareconsistent and
significant associations betweeneconomic development, interms of per
capitagross national product (GNP), and road infrastructure, interms of
per capita length of paved road network. Furthermore, the study also
showed that road condition seems to be associated with economic
development. Indeed, good infrastructureraises productivity and lowers
production costs. Thus, it is clear that infrastructural development is a
functionof economicdevelopment.
The Federal Government has therefore embarked on bold steps in the
rehabilitation, re-construction, construction and expansion of major
arterial highwaysinthecountry. Against thisbackdrop, therehavebeena
number of challenges confronting efforts of the government in the
delivery of improved road infrastructure. One of the major challenges is
attributableto thefunding gap inroad infrastructuredelivery.
Hitherto, thefinanceof road projects has beenthroughameagreannual
budgetary allocation which has proved inadequate to fund road
infrastructural development. On the average, the annual funding
requirement isestimated at NGN500bnover thenext tenyearsagainst an
averagebudgetaryallocationof NGN120bnwithashortfall of NGN380bn.
In 2012 alone, out of the NGN133bn budgetary allocation for road
infrastructuredevelopment onlyNGN102bnwasreleased withashortfall
of NGN21bn unimplemented. These shortfalls have proven to have dire
negativeconsequencesonthedevelopment of road infrastructure.
Furthermore, it has become imperative for the Federal Government to
sourcefor alternativemeansof funding inorder to achieveitsobjectiveof
keeping roads ingood conditionand planfor futuregrowth. TheFederal

Introduction Objectives of the
Report
Government throughtheMinistryof worksispresentlyworking to reduce
dependenceonPublic financeby facilitating privatesector participation
as well as encouraging funding by multi-lateral Agencies on road
development.
The connection between good roads and economic development has
beenestablished, it is clear that infrastructuredevelopment plays avital
roleintheeconomicwell-being of anynation. Putting thestatisticsunder
perspective,it hasshownthat Nigeriastill hasahugetaskahead.Thetotal
road networkinNigeriacurrentlyestimated at 200,000kmremainsto be
improved in order to bring them to sync with road infrastructure
development in other thriving economies such as USA, China, Brazil,
Turkey, Indiaand South-Africa. Thecomparativeanalysisasshownbythe
figure 2 will provide a clearer view of enormity of the challenge facing
economicdevelopment of thenation.
It isagainst thisbackground that thisreport aimsto document thestateof
road InfrastructureinNigeriaand theinvestment potentialsfor investing
in Nigeria's road infrastructure. While it is intended to be a veritable
advocacy document that is envisaged to guide potential private sector
investors inmaking appropriateinformed investment decisions. It would
also proveuseful for relevant stakeholders involved inthedevelopment,
construction, maintenance and management of road infrastructure in
Nigeria.
3. OBJ ECTIVES OF THE REPORT
Nigeria is an emerging economy with exploding road
infrastructurerequirement.Typically,thereisagrowing funding
gap betweenpublicspending onroad infrastructureand capital
needed to build new roads infrastructure, upgrade and
maintainexisting ones.
Theprojected estimateof funding requirementsof about NGN
500bnontheaverageannuallymust bespent over thenext ten
years to fix, build and reconstruct Nigeria's ailing roads and
bring themto sync with road infrastructure development in
other thriving nations. Hence the need for the Federal
Government of Nigeriato turnto privateinvestorsto sharethe
costs, risks, rewards of building, financing, constructing and
operating infrastructure.
The principal objective which this report aims to achieve is to
showcase to the prospective investors the investment
opportunities which exist within the road infrastructure and
related development.

According to afourthQuarter 2012report ,theeconomicoutlookisstable
as S&P raised its long-termforeign and local currency sovereign credit
ratingsof Nigeriato 'BB-'from'B+', just 3pointsbelow investment grade,
Moreso, Moody's expanded its coverage to include Nigeria, assigning a
'Ba3' rating and Fitch Ratings affirmed Nigeria's Long-termforeign and
local currencyIssuer Default Ratings(IDR) of 'BB-'and 'BB' respectively.
Themainfactorsresponsiblefor theimproved rating includetighter fiscal
policy stance, improved infrastructural development, and growing
external reserves. However, there are rising concerns over the security
challengesof somepartsof thecountry,weakgovernance,relativelypoor
business climate and sticky inflation. The government of the present
administration is committed to overcoming these challenges in a bid to
making thecountrythenext investment destinationintheworld.
Thereport went further to statethat theeconomywhenmeasured bythe
Real GrossDomesticProduct (GDP) grew by6.48%inthethird quarter of
2012 as against 7.37%in the corresponding quarter of 2011.The lower
growthcanbeattributed to theimpact of flooding insomeparts of the
country which reduced the country's agricultural output given that
Agricultureisover 40%of theGDP.
This led to a rise in food prices which increased inflationary pressures.
Consequently inflation spiked to 12.30%in November from 11.70%in
October and 11.30%inSeptember.
However, the external reserve appreciated by 7.26%to close the year at

7. Overview Of Road Infrastructure In Nigeria
7.1Classification Of Roads In Nigeria
TheNigerianroad network fromthecolonial days to thepresent day, havebeenclassified into threenamely Trunk A, B &C.
Theseroadsformstheskeletonof thenational road grid. They cut acrossregional boundariesinthecountry and evenextend to
the international borders of neighbouring West African countries. These categories of roads are under Federal Governments
ownership. They aredesigned, constructed, maintained and financed by theFederal government throughtheFederal Ministry of
Works. TheFederal Road MaintenanceAgency (FERMA) isinchargeof carrying out maintenanceof thisclassof roads.
These roads are local feeder roads constructed and maintained by the Works Department of Local Government Authorities in
Nigeria. This class of roads are primarily not concrete asphalted and araffected by seasonal weather changes. The roads link
villagesand communitiesintheremotepartsof eachlocal government region.
Theseroads arethesecond category of mainroads inNigeria. They link themajor cities withinStates withtheStatecapitals.
These roads are designed, developed, financed and maintained by the State governments through their Ministries of Works,
Transport or Infrastructure. The primary objectives of Trunk B roads are to enhance the socio-economic development of the
variousStatesinthecountry.

Thetotal national road networkisapproximately200,000kmmadeup of
33,000km, 50,000km and 117,000km for Federal, State and Local
Government respectively depicted by the chart below. Only about
65,000km of the 200,000km are paved mostly in bituminous layers
others areearthroads. Out of this, theFederal Government owns about
35,000kmrepresenting 54%of the entire bituminous road network in
Nigeria. The balance is shared between the 36 States and the 774 Local
Government Areas.

Road Infrastructure Development in Nigeria
8. Road Infrastructure Development In Nigeria
The Federal Ministry of Works is charged with the responsibility of
developing theNation'sFederal Highwayinfrastructure.TheMinistryhasa
critical role to play in the Transformation Agenda of the present
administration. TheMinistryhasidentified road infrastructurenot onlyas
critical in the socio-economic development of the country but also a
crucial and pivotal resource required to fast track the development of
other modesof transportation.
To this end, thefederal ministry of works has afour-fold mandatewhich
includes thefollowing;
i. Planning, construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of Federal
Roads;
ii. Planning, construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of bridges
along Federal Highways;
iii. Provisionof facilities suchas street lights, road signs and markings
onFederal Roads;and
iv. Providing professional servicesto other MDAs.
In discharging its responsibilities, the ministry has a single line of
command fromtheHonourableMinister to theMinister of Statethrough
thePermanent Secretaryto theDepartmentsand Unitsand viceversa.
To re-invigorateand makethemanagement of thenation'sroad network
and on-going projects more effective, the existing two operational
departments were re-structured as shown in figure 9. In addition, the
ministryisalso charged withtheresponsibilityof supervising theFederal
Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) and the Office of the Surveyor-
General of theFederation(OSGOF).
In further campaign for road infrastructure development, the Federal
Government of Nigeria through the then Federal Ministry of Transport
instituted aroad reformprocesstermed asRoad Vision2000 (RV 2000)
in J une 1996. The Government-led RV2000 laid the foundation for the
creationof aNational Roads Board and aRoad Fund withamandateto
establish a stable and sustainable basis for road infrastructure
development and legal framework for private participation in
management and financing of Road projects.
The Federal Government through the Ministry of Works, with the
assistanceof World Bank, further advanced theRV2000 programto the
establishment of aRoad Sector Development and MaintenanceProgram
(RSDMP) in2004.To coordinatetheprogram,theRSDMP wasestablished
asaten(10)-year prioritized programto beimplemented byaRoad Sector
Development Team(RSDT).
TheRSDT isaself-accounting,performance-based semi-autonomousunit

On assumption of Office, the Honourable Minister of Works, Arc. Mike
Onolememenidentified onlyameager 30%of theFederal road networkto
be in fairly good condition while 70%remained in deplorable state and
required immediate maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction and
expansionefforts. Inaddition, thepresent administrationalso released a
11
report that states an inheritance a total of 160 on-going projects at
variousstagesof completionwithatotal contract sumworthNGN960bn.
Furthermore, the road sector faced with other constraints such as
institutional and management problems had only two Highway
Departments responsible for management of the entire Federal road
network in the nation. As a proactive approach, the ministry developed
laudablepolicies to reaffirmits commitment towards elevating Nigeria's
road infrastructureto astandard that will contributeimmensely to rapid

s/n PPP Model Description
Table 2: PPP Models Source: Obuzuwa, D. (2011).
Theprivatesector designs and builds infrastructuretomeet public sector performancespecifications, often for a
fixed price. Thecost of overruns is transferred totheprivatesector.
A privateoperator, under contract, operates a publicly owned asset for a specified period. Ownership of theasset
remains with thepublic entity.
A privateentity contracts tomanagea Government owned entity and manages themarketingand provision of a
service.
A privateoperator contracts toleaseand assumeall management and operation of Government owned facility and
associated services, and may invest further in developingtheserviceand providetheservicefor a fixed term.
Theprivatesector designs financeand constructs a new facility under a longtermleaseand operates thefacility
duringthetermof thelease. Theprivatepartner transfers thenew facility tothepublic sector at theend of the
leaseterm.
A privateentity receives a franchisetofinance, design, build and operatea facility (and tochargeuser fees) for a
specified period, after which ownership is transferred back tothepublic sector.
Thetransfer of a public asset toprivateor quasi-public entity usually under contract that theassets aretobe
upgraded and operated for a specified period of time. Public control is exercised through thecontract at thetimeof
transfer.
Theprivatesector finances, builds, owns and operates a facility or servicein perpetuity. Thepublic constraints are
stated in theoriginal agreement and through on-goingregulatory obligations.
This is an extended version of theBOT model wheretheprivatesector builds, owns and operates a facility for a
specified period as agreed in thecontract and then transfers tothepublic.
A privatesector receives a licenseor rights tobuild and operatea public service, usually for a specified period.
Similar toBBO arrangement.
A privateentity, usually a financial services company, funds a project directly or uses a mechanismsuch as long-
termleaseor bond issue.

Privatesector partnersinvolved inPPP transactionsinNigeriacan
achieve efficiency based on technical, financial and innovative
capability.
PPP facilitatesexpansionof business. Privatesector partnerscan

successfullywiththepublicsector inNigeria.
KeyBenefitsto thePublicSector
Maintaining EconomicStability- Whiletheprivatesector focuses
investments in the infrastructure development, there is no need
for the government to take loans and pay interests. The
implication of this is that less pressure will be exerted on the
money market, thereby diminishing the upward pressure on
interest rateand inflation.
Gains fromPrivate Sector Innovation and Expertise - Since the
private sector is responsible for developing infrastructure, the
most cost-effective and innovative means and technologies is
employed without compromising value. This enables the best
sourceof valuefor moneygain.

Highway Bonds: AnEmerging Optionfor Increasing Highway Financing, by TomHoward
I n Nigeria, with the urgent need for investment in
road infrastructure improvements - a need that
greatly exceeds available financing, the Federal
Government of Nigeria (FGN) has identified Road or
Highway Bonds as an emerging option and a way
forward for enhancing Highway Financing. The
Bonds which will be issued in form of FGN bonds will
assume similar characteristics as such. The road
bonds will become debt securities (liabilities) of the
Federal Government of Nigeria issued under the
authority of Debt Management Office (DMO) and
listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). The
FGN is mandated to pay the bondholder the
principal and agreed interest as they fall due.

As part of the road reform plan, the Federal Government of
Nigeria, in a bid to improve road infrastructure delivery through
alternativesources of highwayfinancing, havemadeattempts to
explore implementation of a five percent fuel surcharge of
petroleumproducts.

Following passageof thelaw since2007, theimplementationof thelaw is
yet to becarried out owing to bottlenecksinthebureaucraticprocess.The
proposed surchargewill go along wayto providetherequired resources
to fixexisting dilapidated roadsand construct new alignmentsacrossthe
nation.
Based on the proposed arrangement, forty percent (40%) of the
generated fund will be assigned to Federal Road Maintenance Agency
(FERMA), while state governments are to share the remaining sixty
percent (60%) for maintenance of state-owned alignments. However,
stategovernment who intend to benefit fromthechunk of sixty percent

The introduction of this method of financing is nearing its concluding

Inthis context, theFMW throughthePublic PrivatePartnership unit has
sought theservices of reputableconsulting firms or consortiato provide
transaction advisory services throughout the PPP life cycle for these
roads. Essentially, these advisory services comprise of conducting
feasibility studies of some identified road alignments to ascertain
feasibility studies on technical, legal, social, environmental and financial
viabilityof theroad projectsfor government partnership withtheprivate

The Abuja Kaduna - Kano road alignment is considered to be an
important highway and lifeline for trade and commerce. The Abuja
Kaduna section stretches fromthe interchange within the Western by-
passand endsat RigachukwuinKadunaState. WhiletheKaduna Kano
section starts fromRigachukwu in Kaduna State and terminating at the
first roundabout insideKano Township. Thealignment is apopular route
which traverses 12 localities fromNorth-west geo-political zone and 16
localitiesfromNorth-southgeo-political zoneconnecting to thenational
seat of government,thenation'scapital.
Apart fromthepolitical relevanceof theAbuja Kaduna- Kano route, it
further providesalinkfor transportationof agricultural producefromthe
agricultural belt of theNorth-West and North-south, wherebothrain-fed
and irrigated agriculturearemost developed and practiced,to theFederal
Capital Territory with its teeming population. The population of the
localities in the Niger and Kaduna and Kano States traversed by the
highwayisestimated at 151,300 and 2,265,749and 75918respectively.

the real estate sector as case study, one of such growth of activities is
evident bythevalueto real estatedevelopment acrossthealignment.One
of thecritical factorsthat determinethevalueof anyreal estatepropertyis
theamenitiesavailableinproximity. Oneof suchamenitiesisprovisionof
road infrastructure. Typically, roads that provide access to communities

Fromfigures21&22, it canbededuced that N100 toll feewasfound to be
the preferred toll fee by majority of the vehicle categories for both

The ShagamuBenin-Asaba with an existing dual carriageway of
approximately 384km stretches from the west, the main junction in
Shagamutown, OgunStatethroughthesouthand terminatesat thestart
of Niger Bridge, southof Asaba. Theroute traverses four states namely
Ogun,Ondo,Edo and Deltastatesasproject influenceareas.According to
18
anestimated 2009census ,thefour statesmadeup of apopulationof 15.4
millionpeoplewhichaccountsfor about 10%of theentirecountry. Along
this route, there are approximately four major interchanges (Lagos-
Ibadan, Beninbypass entry, Auchi road Beninbypass, and Beninbypass
exit), 30 minor intersections and considerable number of informal and
trackaccessroutes.

The 2007income assessment data available as at the time the Outline
Business Cases for theShagamu-Benin-Asabaalignment wereprepared
suggeststhat theGDP per capitafor thefour project statesis50%higher
than the national average (US$1670). According to this report, amongst
the project states, Delta state has the largest GDP per capita of over
US$5,000 with values approximately twice the national average. This is
best explained bytheoil explorationand productionactivitieswithinthe
state.
Thekeyactivitiesoccurring withintheproject stateshelp to reinforcethe
significanceof thealignment to theeconomicwellbeing of thecountry. In
delta state, oil exploration and production is pre-dominant, timber
extraction, milling and processing is pre-dominant in Edo and Ondo
states, gold and some minerals deposits are abundant in the former.
Widespread amongst the four project states are the following; building
materialsmanufacturing (i.e.aggregatesquarryand winning),light
industrial activities such agro-processing and chemicals. The pre-
dominant activity across themajority of theeconomically activeproject
areasisfarming. Therefore, thealignment will serveasanimportant route
for transportationof theseagricultural goodsand servicesfromanyof the
statesto other locationsaccommodated withintheroute.
Moreso, theShagamu-Benin-Asabaalignment isconsidered asoneof the
most significant highway and lifeline for trade and commerce between
westernand easternpart of Nigeria. Therouteis very popular for heavy
trafficflowsparticularlyduring festiveperiods.Thelackof maintenanceof
the route has resulted in its decay transforming the road into a major

The economic analysis was restricted to appraisal of private costs and
benefit in economic terms. The primary objective of the analysis is to
providejustificationfor theeconomiccost of trafficusing theroad under
threedifferent toll regimesincomparisonwiththecost of using theroad
before re-construction. As before, the HDM-4 software was used to
investigatetheroad user costswithinaparticular period.
Theresult of theeconomicappraisal for bothsectionsof theroad project
indicates that the N5 per kmtoll appear to be the most favorable toll
regimeand henceyieldstheoptimumeconomicresults.

Theroad takesestimated 12,000 30,000 vehicles,bothways,daily.If the
road isfixed, thistraffichasthepotential of increasing to 70,000 vehicles
daily. For returnsof investment, sustainabilityand maintenance, atoll will
be introduced. This will divert some vehicles to alternative competing
routes,but thevehiclesthat will divert will beapproximately60%,and this
still leavesasizablenumber that will utilizethetoll.
Project Strategy
Analyzing therenovationof theEnugu Port-Harcourt dual carriageway
examines the technical, economic and financial feasibility of renovating
and managing the route through a PPP method. Port- Harcourt has the
second largest port inNigeria, and Enugu Port-Harcourt road is avery
significant highway inthecountry. It was built inthe1980s and it passes
through several states and connects to the main road that goes on to
Maiduguri whichisinthenorthernpart of thecountry.
Thesouthis mainly apetroleumprocessing areaand themiddle-belt to
northernareais essentially thefood processing part of thecountry. The
road connects these areas, facilitating business in raw materials, food,
petroleumproducts, goods and people. Renovationand maintenanceof
thisroad will enhanceeconomic activitiesalong therouteand ultimately
boost thenation'seconomy.
Financial Evaluation
The financial analysis of the road project under study was investigated
using all potential sources of income. The primary purpose was to
determine the possibility of sustainable returns through the life-span of
transaction period in order to satisfy the requirements of potential
investors.

Lafenwa Bridge, Ogun State. K atsin a A la R ive rB rid g e
Overview and Background
Unlike the name may indicate, the Katsina-Ala river is not located in
Katsinastatebut inBurukuinBenueState, Nigeria. Theriver serves as a
major arm of the River Benue; the source is found in northwestern
22
Cameroon, ontheBamendahighlands . It isalso knownasRiver Buruku.
Theriver separates Burukulocal government fromLogo and Katsina-Ala
BenueState. Theareaisknownfor productionof largequantitiesof yam.
Another local government that shares a boundary with Katsina-Ala and
Logo is Ukum, whichalso produces yams inlargequantity. Ugbahis the
23
headquartersof Logo local government .
Byroad, it will takelessthan20-minutesdriveto get to Ugbah, and about
30 minutes to get to Ukumand Katsina-Ala respectively, starting from
24
Buruku .
Thereishowever achallengeasthereisno bridgeat theriver. Evensome
parts of the major villages of Buruku local government are across the
25
other sideof theriver .Thereforevehiclescarrying yamsand other goods
travel far, often over approximately 150km, from Anyiin, Ugba, Ukum
(Zaki-Biam) throughKatsina-Alaand to Gboko local government. They
then decide on proceeding to the southern or northern parts of the
26
country .
Inaneffort to devisemeansof easing their challenges, theBurukulocals
usecanoesto ferryhumansand vehiclesacrosstheriver. Thisishowever
very risky as the tools for the transportation are not appropriate heavy
equipment or sophisticated. They go across some distance, Gboko,
Ugbema, Katsina-Alabeforeaccessing Zaki-Biam,Ugbaor Anyiinand the
paddlershaveadmitted it isriskyto ferryvehiclesacross. Commutersstill
taketheriskthoughastheyhavelittleor no option. BurukuRiver crossing
isregarded asthefastest wayto Anyiin, Gbanyamvillageand Ugbatown,
27
theheadquartersof Logo .
Currently, not less than 200 vehicles are ferried across the river at the
crossing point onadailybasis.Theriskishigher during therainyseasonas
averagelyabout 3to 4 carsget submerged intheprocess.Evenprominent
28
statesmenhavelost their vehiclesinthisfeat .
It was approved recently that the engineering designs for the Buruku
Bridgebedone, theHouseof Representativesasked theFederal Ministry
of Works to use the engineering designs for the construction of the
29
bridge .
The bridge would link points between Benue state and Taraba state,
passing through Makurdi and Katsina-Ala in Benue to Wukari in Taraba.
This will significantly reduce travel time for those who try to maneuver
throughpossibleroutes, and travel riskfor bothwater and road travelers.
Returnoninvestment will bethroughtolls. Thereisabridgefurther to the
project point,towardsthebordersof Cameroon.

A toll introduced will attract higher flow of traffic.Toll feesof N300 will be
adapted and with annual growth of traffic, revenue from fees will
significantlyincreaseonanannual basis.
Analysisof thetrafficto determinepossibleoriginand final destinationof
vehicles was done. The bridge is very strategic with traffic fromareas
including Onitsha and Kano. Some models of the traffic routes involve
interstatetrafficor travel withinthestateand nearbysurroundings.
BurukuBridgeasacost-effectivetool for commuters
Analyzing the status of the bridge as a cost effective tool took into
account thecurrent meansof transport intermsof bothtimeand money.
Ferriesthat transport bothpassengersand vehiclesareoneof themeans
of transport for commuterswho wishto go across. Thosewho do not go
throughtheferry, either bychoiceor dueto thesizeof their vehicles, take
analternativerouteto thenearest bridgeroute. Thebridgewill thuscater
for thesesetsof people.Thebridgewill saveonthefollowing:
a. Cost of ferriesfor transporting passengersacrosstheriver
b. Cost of ferriesfor transporting vehiclesacrosstheriver

The total monetary value of acquiring and operating a small ferry for a
year is about USD 38,940 divided into various costs as shown in chart
above (figure 31). Average time spent on crossing a vehicle is
approximately48minutes.
The construction of the bridge will save time for both passenger and
vehiclecrossing. It also presents asafer routeof travel; most commuters
now carryonasthereislittleor no option. It isassumed that if theorigin
and destination of the current crossings is within Yende and Zaki Biam
respectively,thenatravel distanceof approximately40kmwill besaved.

Inlinewiththetransformational agendaof thepresent administration,the
Federal Ministryof Works, throughitsBOLDapproach, hasembarked on
development of acritical road infrastructureproject described as green-
field projects. Thegreen-field project is being developed as apragmatic
approach towards tackling the burgeoning infrastructure deficit within
theroad sector.
Furthermore, theprivatesector will besolely responsiblefor driving the
green-field project whiletheprimaryroleof government will focusonits
statutory responsibilities suchas to createtheenabling climate, provide
the Right of Way (ROW) and offer guarantees in formof Viability Gap

In view of this, the green-field project has been identified to comprise
mainlyof two primaryalignmentsasbelow;
i. TheGoldenTriangleSuper-Highway

The 2nd Lagos Outer Ring Road is being developed with the aimof
decongesting heavy traffic volume currently experienced within the
Lagosmetropolitanarea. For instance, theheavydutytrailersand tankers
fromthe ports and Apapa petroleumdepots will utilize this alternative
route thereby decongesting traffic along the Apapa Oshodi highway.

Based on empirical evidence, it has been established that funding road
infrastructurethroughtheannual budgetary allocationhas provento be
unsustainable. Moreso, the economic implication of the absence and/or
decay of existing road infrastructure has also been highlighted into
perspective. Consequently, the Federal government of Nigeria has
embarked on securing alternative mechanism of financing road
infrastructure development other than the usual meager annual
budgetaryallocation.
With this innovative approach, the present administration through the
Federal Ministry of Works haverecorded tremendous success intackling
theenormouschallengesfacing deliveryof enhanced qualityand capacity

In view of this, there have been a considerable number of road

10. Conclusion
The Federal Government of Nigeria has identified private sector
participationinthedevelopment of theroad sector asasustainable
approach towards tackling the road infrastructure deficit in the
country. Furthermore, the government of Nigeria through the
Federal Ministry of Workshastakenbold initiativesinthisdirection
by developing OutlineBusiness Casesthroughnotabletransaction
advisory services for viable and bankable major highways in the
nation to attract private sector and foreign investments into the
sector.
Following anexpanding population, increased economic activities
and the pressing need to connect, there has been a massive road
infrastructure deficit hampering progress and failure to support
thereby stunting growth and development in many areas. For
instance, citing thereal estatesector, oneof thecritical factorsthat
determine the value of any real estate property is the amenities
available in proximity. One of such amenities is provision of road
infrastructure. Typically, access roads that provide access to
communities and businesses for smart growth will increase
property valueswhileroadsthat serveasbarriers, or redirect traffic
away fromparticular areas,will causeadeclineinproperty values.
This report provides anoverview of theroad sector inNigeriaand
also identified selected road infrastructure projects through a
review of outline business cases (OBC) developed by the public-
private partnership of the Federal Ministry of Works. The
informationcontained inthisreport havehighlighted thebasic
indicatorsof viableand bankableroad infrastructureprojectsinthe
road sector namely Capital costs, traffic volume, user fees and
concessionary period for eachof theselected projectsindetails.
However, in-depth details confirming the revenue streams,
allocationof risks, net present valueanalysis (NPV), and sufficient
scale for absorbing transaction costs as well as high transaction
success rate are available in the Outline Business Cases that have
beendeveloped for eachof thealignment. Moreso, theirresistible
offer interms of informationthat has beenprovided by this report
will securetheinterest of most financiersapproached for funding.In
addition,theother partsof thereport havealso identified key future
pipeline road projects like the Super Golden Triangle and Lagos
Outer Ring Roadsfor privatesector participation.
To achieve scale and a friendly business environment, the
government of Nigeria has put in place adequate mechanisms to
ensureafavourableclimatefor businessesto thrive.
Finally, wewelcomeall prospectiveinvestorswho areinterested in
building not just road infrastructurebut economic corridors within
thelargest Africannationintheworld.
