The Federal Government of Nigeria has constituted a US $ 2.0 Billion Unity Roads Program covering rehabilitation and maintenance of 6,300 equivalent 2-lane kilometers of Federal roads over the next ten years to be implemented with support from Developing Partners, including the World Bank. The Federal Government of Nigeria has received a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) toward the cost of the proposed Federal Roads Development Project (FRDP) and intends to apply part of the proceeds to payments under Output and Performance-based Road Contracts (OPRC).
The FRDP-Phase 1 includes two components:
(i) Rehabilitation, Upgrading, and Maintenance of selected Federal Roads:- Comprises the initial rehabilitation followed by long term maintenance of about 1, 200 equivalent 2-lane km of selected federal roads (Unity Roads), using the private sector and the Output and Performance Based Road Contracting methods; and
(ii) Institutional Strengthening and Policy Reforms:- Provision of goods and consultant services, including technical assistance to strengthen the capacity of the road sector to plan, program, budget and execute federal road programs on a sustainable basis. Includes the establishment and operation of the proposed Federal Roads Authority, National Roads Board and the Road Fund, and financing of critical sector studies.
The Road Sector Development Team (RSDT) was established to carry out,on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Works, Housing & Urban Development (FMWHUD), the planning and management of the Nigeria Federal Roads 10-Year Prioritized Road Sector Development and Maintenance Program (Unity Roads), of which the FRDP is an integral part.
Initially the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has received a credit of US$ 330 million to cover four of the Phase I Unity Roads. The four roads under the program will require rehabilitation to pre-defined service levels and be maintained to these levels over a period of 7 years. A major portion of the payment under these contracts will be monthly installments based on the agreed outputs, provided that the firm also complies with required service levels on the roads. The four packages (Pkg) are:
(i) Enugu-Abakaliki / Ogoja Junction-Ikom sections of Route A25...122.00Km(2-lane equiv.)
(ii) Mokwa-Bida-Lambata-Suleja Road########## 284.30 Km( - ditto - )
