Lagos Abidjan corridor may be structured as PPP
The ECOWAS Commission has received several grants from the Africa Development Fund (ADF) and the European Development Fund towards the financing of the Study for the Abidjan – Lagos Corridor Highway Development Project.
The proceeds of these grants are intended to be used for procurement of services under the study. The study will be jointly financed by ADF, EU-AfIF and the ECOWAS Commission.
The objective of the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway study is to undertake all of the necessary studies on the hard and soft aspects necessary for the effective implementation, operations and economic development of the corridor; primarily, between Abidjan and Lagos via Accra, Lome and Cotonou.
The new highway will be a six-lane (3-lane dual) carriageway highway, approximately 1028 kilometers and the study to be undertaken will be based on one main principle. It shall primarily follow a new alignment, incorporating sections of the existing alignment, where necessary, to ensure route optimization.
