Investing in transportation infrastructure in Africa will boost
intra-African trade and transform the continent’s economy
Transportation in Africa
 There is a deficit in the transportation infrastructure in Africa as an estimated 33% of Africans living in
rural areas have access to all season roads.
 Transportation infrastructure investment in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has the fastest average annual
growth rate at 11% and the majority of the growth is expected in roads and ports.
 Developing countries face the challenge of inadequate supply of transportation infrastructure,

limiting accessibility to consumers and inhibiting intra-regional trade.
 The continent comprises 55 countries with varying transportation infrastructure maturity and weak
transportation links which has resulted in low intra-African trade and as of 2011, the total intra-African
trade accounted for only 11% of global African trade.
 The majority of the rail lines in many African countries are left over from the colonial periods and
are in need for rehabilitation.
 Some countries have made investments to improve rail transport – South Africa invested more than
USD 5 billion in railways and Mozambique has major plans to improve its rail network.
 There are a number of trans-African highways, and several like the Lagos-Abidjan highway
through West Africa which already is under consideration for expansion plans.
 Transportation investment in Africa has the potential to transform the continent’s economic
development, as transportation and logistics has a direct impact on a country’s import and export
volumes, distribution routes and other related services.

Nigeria has relatively advanced infrastructure networks that
cover extensive areas of the nation’s territory
Transportation in Nigeria
 Transport accounts for 3% of the Gross Domestic Product distribution and the statistics are categorized by modes
of transportation: rail, road, water and air.
 Nigeria has a well-developed aviation sector which has experienced substantial growth over the decade due to a rapid
expansion of domestic services.
 The Nigerian aviation market consists twenty-two airports spread across the six geo-political zones and twenty-
three active domestic carriers.
 Nigerian road transport accounts for 95% of all modes of transport and has a total road network of 193,200km of
which only 15% is paved.
 Recent road projects are executed through public private partnerships such as the Lekki Toll Road Infrastructure Project
which began when Lekki Concession Company was incorporated specially to design, finance, rehabilitate, upgrade,
operate and maintain the Lekki Toll Road, under a 30-year Concession mandate from the Lagos State.
 The Nigerian railway network is largely underutilized with less than 30% of the 280 railway stations in the country
functional and as such, the Federal Government allocated NGN10.7 billion in 2013 for the rehabilitation of key rail
tracks and procurement of coaches, wagons and locomotives.
 General Electric in partnership with Transnet of South Africa, Dutch-based APM terminals and Chinese Sinohydro have
been awarded a contract to rehabilitate approximately 3,500 km of existing narrow gauge lines from Lagos to Kano and
Port Harcourt to Maiduguri.
 Nigeria also plans to participate in the AfricRail project to rehabilitate and construct 2,000km of new railway
linking Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Niger and Nigeria.
 Nigeria has over 10,000 km of navigable inland waterways and 3,800 kilometers that are navigable seasonally
– Rivers Niger and Benue constitute the major channels for inland navigation.

The Lagos State Government has executed various projects to
improve transportation of people and goods within the state
Overview of transportation in Lagos
• Lagos State is the capital of economic and commercial activities in Nigeria as is reflected by the state’s Internally
Generated Revenue (IGR) figure of N150.59 billion in the second half of 2016.
• It is considered as one of the most congested cities in Africa and one of the largest cities in the world, processing 212 motor
vehicles per square kilometer traffic into the State.
• Current trends show a proliferation of low capacity vehicles (minibuses and danfo) and the fleets comprise of 35,000 – 75,000
units of second hand vehicles which provide poor quality service.
• The majority of buses are entirely owned and operated by the private sector; although there are no major fleet owners
and corporate organizations present.
• The demand for trips in Lagos Metropolitan Area by all transportation modes is approx. 24 million per day and
demand is likely to grow to over 40 million trips by 2032.
• Although minibuses (Danfo) convey about 72% of passengers in the Lagos Metropolis, cars account for 65% of the road usage
while minibuses account for only 28% of road usage.
• With a population of over 20 million people and the high volume of road, air and port traffic, the Lagos State
government has been collaborating with the private sector on various projects over the years to meet the state’s
infrastructural requirements.
• Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) the first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa, is a transport system which moves about 200,000
commuters daily and has reduced travel time by 30%.
• Lagos Urban Rail Network (LURN) consists of seven railway lines strategically situated along priority and high
commuter demand corridors within the Lagos metropolis and beyond and is estimated to cost$2.4billion.
• The state government also commenced the first phase of the LURN project; a 27 kilometer light rail transit system with
thirteen stations from Okokomaiko to Marina – Blue Line which is to be operated and maintained by a concessionaire –
China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC).
• Asides rail, the infrastructure design for Blue Line includes provision for BRT and multimode integration with non-
motorized transport (NMT).

4. BRT Project Opportunity
A Bus Rapid Transit Project is proposed between Apapa – Oworonshoki in order to meet the urgent needs of the commuting population on
that corridor. This 27 km-BRT service will ultimately contribute to Lagos State’s public transportation options.
Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) is the primary project sponsor and is committed to providing the infrastructure and
an enabling framework to facilitate the delivery of the project slated for 2022. The project is suggested to be executed under a Build Operate
and Transfer (BOT) Public Private Partnership (PPP) between the investor and LAMATA.
19
BRT Project Opportunity
The success of the BRT-lite project has led to the expansion of
the BRT Project which is championed by LAMATA
Overview of the BRT Project
• The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is an operational system which was introduced in March 2008 to improve the transportation system
in the Lagos Metropolis.
• The success of the pilot, BRT-Lite and the huge demand from the public, has led to the expansion of the BRT services to a 27km- long
corridor between the Apapa and Oworonshoki Express way stretch, while recognising the challenges of the pilot and devising
improvements to the scheme in order to meet the needs of commuters on that corridor.
• BRT-lite is indicative of the potential viability of the BRT expansion project as it serves a large number of people who can attest to its
benefits based on the safety, cost effectiveness and efficiency it provides while travelling between busy destinations.
• The Apapa-Oworonshoki Expressway stretch, which is the focal point of this BRT project, is a major expressway in Lagos State, which is
characterized by a four-lane expressway and service roads parallel to it.
About the Project Sponsor
• Lagos Metropolitan Transport Authority (LAMATA) is the agency responsible for planning, implementing, regulating and
franchising public transport infrastructure and operations in Lagos State.
• LAMATA has been charged with developing an intermodal integrated transport system for Lagos, which is to be executed through
the Strategic Transport Master Plan that details the requirements of transport infrastructure up to the year 2032.
• LAMATA is the champion of the BRT expansion project and also provides the enabling framework and infrastructure for the
establishment of the Bus Rapid Transit.
• The BRT-lite project was implemented by a public private partnership (PPP) where LAMATA provided infrastructure and a private sector
operator took regulatory enforcement responsibility, operations and maintenance while a commercial bank provided financing.
• A private sector operator will be consigned to operate the BRT services and enforce stipulated regulation, commit to bus
procurement, operations and maintenance.

replace public transport vehicles that account for a
third of the congestion i.e. reducing the number of
vehicles on the rest of the roads.
21
The success of the proposed project is dependent on the
availability of necessary resources and infrastructure
• To run the BRT effectively, the BRT service must be capable of transporting all intending passengers who present
themselves for travel.
• The requirement of Apapa – Oworonshoki BRT project shows a Passenger Vehicle Requirement (PVR) of 284 buses which
Resource Requirement includes a 10% allowance for “out of service” vehicles to service the estimated 340,000 passengers per day.
• The human resource requirement for the entire service based on demand forecast is reported as 615 drivers and 615
customer service personnel.
• The Oworonshoki Expressway provides local access into surrounding residential, business and industrial areas and is
characterized by a dual three-lane expressway with dual two lane service roads.
Proposed Corridor
• Pedestrian access is available across the Oworonshoki Expressway and provides seven footbridges which have been
intuitively positioned at existing bus stations and areas of high pedestrian activity.
• Infrastructure will be provided by the public sector making it attractive for the private sector
• The reconstruction of the Badagry Expressway being promoted by the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure will also
Existing Infrastructure include a BRT line running between Okokomaiko and Marina
• The design for the BRT expansion is based on the identified issues with the BRT-Lite infrastructure which will include
tributary feeder services to the main BRT line
22
The BRT proposes lower fares and shorter travel times
compared to existing transportation options
Resource Assessment
1 Vehicles selected for the BRT operations must be durable and easy to maintain as well as possess efficient fuel technology. Two types of vehicles are currently used on the
BRT-lite line: Ashok Lane high floor bus type ‘Falcon’ and 12meter Marco Polo bodied Mercedes ‘Torino’ buses. However, investors are at liberty to select the type of vehicles
based on requirements for size, durability, easy maintenance and efficient fuel technology.
2
Demand Assessment
The high volume of people currently using Lagos public transport in its poor conditions makes BRT in Lagos very attractive. Additionally, Lagosians have been sensitised
with BRT not just as a concept, but as a successfully functional system. Based on demand forecasts, the main trip generators along the BRT corridor are at Oshodi, Mile 2
and Lagos Island during peak periods.
3
Strategic Pricing
A feasibility study on the BRT demonstrates a potential viability of the system using a zonal fare structure of NGN20 per 5km of travel and this has proven to be highly
competitive when compared with the lowest existing fares on small commercial buses with an added advantage of faster traveltime.
Competitor Analysis
4 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) revealed that passengers feel safer travelling by BRT as it provides comparable speed and reliability facilitated by the dedicated bus lanes as
opposed to the Danfo and Molue buses. BRTs also present superior quality and comfortable vehicles compared to the poorly maintained commercial public transport options.
5 Travel time
The dedicated BRT lanes will facilitate quicker travel around Lagos.

The Lagos State Government provides investors with favourable
conditions to support private sector participation
• The Lagos State Government is willing to guarantee the passenger demand for the Apapa-
Oworonshoki BRT corridor.
Guarantee Options • This implies that where the actual utilization for the BRT service is unable to secure comparable demand
to the forecast, the State Government will pay the private sector service provider the outstanding
difference.
• This cushions the risk of low revenue due to low uptake of the BRT service.
• Private sector participation in public sector procurement is governed by:

 The Lagos State PPP Law 2011..
 The Lagos State Public Procurement Act 2011; and
 Regulations issued by the State Executive Council (Exco) governing the PPP process.
Legal Framework • These laws and regulations assure investors that all contracts will be completed in compliance with the
PPP contract terms.
• There are several dispute resolution mechanisms for PPP projects and the contract management team
will provide guidance on whether an issue can be escalated to arbitration or courts.

5. Green Line Rail Project Opportunity
The 68 km Green Line Project is to build and operate a modern, fast and reliable rail-based commuter service between Lekki Free Trade Zone
and Marina, with 10 stations, as well as a direct link and station at the proposed Airport at Lekki.
The principal merit of this project is that it will reduce the severe traffic congestion in the Marina – Lekki Corridor by encouraging the use
of public transport. Investors are invited to provide rolling stocks to support the delivery of the project. The public-privatepartnership
model for this project will be decided following negotiations and agreements with LAMATA.
33
Green Line Rail Project Opprtunity
The Green Line Project is a 68 km rail system that will begin at Marina
and terminate at the Lekki free Trade Zone
Overview of the Green Line Project
• The Lagos State Government intends to create an urban rail transit system in order to reduce traffic congestion and travel
times as well as improve the transportation system in the Lagos Metropolis.
• The 68km Green line rail network route is to be built and operated as a modern, fast and reliable rail-based commuter service
between Lekki Free Trade Zone and Marina.
• The Green line is a direct link to the proposed Lekki International Airport and comprises 10 stations between Lekki Free trade
Zone and Marina.
• This rail network will stimulate economic growth through business tourism through using the link between the Airport and the
Free Trade Zone in Lekki.
• The Green Line project is part of the Lagos State Strategic Transport Master Plan and as such, will stimulate
accelerated economic growth and increased infrastructure investment.
Project Sponsor
• The Lagos State Government is championing the Green Line Rail Project and is committed to the development of the
infrastructure required for this project.
• The project will be executed through a concessionaire and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the State
Government and the Concessionaire will provide the terms and conditions governing the project.
• The Lagos State Government will indicate her commitment by:
o securing the Right of Way for the project route.
o providing statutory permits and police security during construction and operations.
o approving deployment to site and operations of the system.
Lagos State Government o providing tax and duty incentives to investors.
o enacting legislations for the operations and usage of the system.

Green Line Rail Project Opportunity
The success of the proposed project depends on the availability of
requisite resources and infrastructure
• The Green Line Rail effectively, the service must be capable of transporting all
Resource Requirement customers who present themselves for travel.
• The estimated daily passenger volume of 815,000.
• The 68 km corridor running between Marina and LFTZ provides local access to
surrounding residential, business and commercial areas.
Proposed Corridor
• The Green Line will also be integrated with the bus, ferry and feeder services within the
areas in which it will operate.
Existing Infrastructure • There is no existing infrastructure for the Green Line project.
36
The Green Line Rail project proposes lower travel times
compared to existing transport options
Resource Assessment
1 The trains selected for the Green Line operations must be efficient, easy to maintain and energy efficient. The type of train
proposed for this project are the Electric Multiple Units (EMU).
Demand Assessment
2 The large and growing population within Lagos State and the high volume of people currently using Lagos public
transport in its poor conditions makes the proposed Green Line very attractive.
Strategic Pricing
The proposed fare for the Green Line service is currently set at NGN 460 (USD1.25). Although the fares of existing public
3 sector options are far below the suggested fares of the Green Line service, the Green Line provides an added advantage of
faster travel times by eliminating the possibility of experiencing motor traffic congestion and therefore can command
higher pricing than other forms of transportation.
Competitor Analysis
4 The existing public transportation options as well as the BRT services offer competing services at lower rates to consumers.
However, the Green Line provides incomparable speed and reliability facilitated by congestion-free rail travel.
