Islamic Development Bank (IDB), AfDB, and Canada–AfDB Climate Fund are the new helpers of Abia State. They have all approved a total $240m loan for the state. 

The project would see to the rehabilitation of roads, erosion control, infrastructure and preparation of solid waste management facilities in the state capital, Umuahia, and the commercial hub, Aba.

The project is expected to be completed in 2029, has a total of 248.46 km of road.

Financing for the project estimated at a total cost of 263.80 million dollars, will come through an:

AfDB loan of 100 million dollars.
A Canada–AfDB Climate Fund (CACF) loan of 15 million dollars;
and a 125 million dollars co-financing loan from the Islamic Development Bank (IDB).

The Abia State government will provide 23.80 million dollars in counterpart funding for compensation to people affected by the project and implementation of a Resettlement Action Plan.

It said it had 58.03 km of roads in Umuahia and 190.43 km of roads in Aba which would be rehabilitated to asphaltic concrete standards at varying cross-sections.

Erosion sites in Umuahia and Aba will be reinstated as well as preparatory studies were undertaken for private sector participation in solid waste management for the two cities. The project will also include capacity building, project management and development of social infrastructure. This includes the rehabilitation of schools and the provision of sanitation facilities in schools, community markets and hospitals.”

With an estimated population of 553,000 and 814,000 respectively (2022 estimates), Umuahia and Aba, the commercial hub, are currently facing serious infrastructure challenges which arose from decades of underinvestment amid rapid urbanisation and the situation was aggravated by gully erosion and the emergence of huge piles of solid waste on the roads.

When completed, the 1.37 million population in these two cities would benefit from reduced travel time, vehicle operating costs and lower transport cost. The project will also create 3,000 temporary jobs (30 per cent for women) at the construction phase, and about 1,000 permanent jobs during the operational phase.

The permanent jobs will particularly benefit the youths, who will make up 50 per cent of the project.
”They will be trained in contract management by the State Youth Road Maintenance Corps for road maintenance, a body of young Abia engineers drawn from the 17 Local Government Areas of the State.
