Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for B and Junctions, Lagos State (World Bank-Assisted)

Lagos State Government (LASG), through the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) initiated the Lagos Urban Transport Project (LUTP). Part of the cardinal objectives of the LUTP was to undertake traffic management activities towards ensuring efficient and effective movement of traffic in metropolitan Lagos. In line with these objectives LAMATA decided to improve the Traffic Management System (TSM) of four (4) junctions within Lagos metropolis referred to as group B and D junctions. 

These junctions were; Group B Junctions: Lawanson Bus Stop (both sides with adjoining streets) and Dopemu road (both sides with adjoining streets), While the Group D junctions include: Old Iyana Ipaja Road/Pen Cinema and Fagba junction (Fagba/Iju Road). The RAP activities involved identification of all project affected persons (PAP), categorisation of nature of losses that will be suffered by the PAPs; as well as development of compensation eligibility criteria, and budget in compliance to provisions of Nigeria Laws and World Bank Operational Policies.

This RAP was implemented by Triple 'E' Systems Associates Limited, however some present key members of EcoPro, specifically, Prof. Omololu Soyombo (Lead, Socio-economics), Mr. Bartholomew Ndulue (Project Manager), and Mr. Obehi Eguakhide (Field Survey Coordinator) played lead roles in delivering the RAP assignment; from field survey, stakeholders’ engagement, data analyses as well as RAP Report preparation. 

The project was implemented in 2009.
