EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ES 1: Background and Project Description
The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has initiated the preparation of the Rural Access and
Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP), the successor of the Second Rural Access and Mobility Project
(RAMP-2). The project is supported with financing from the World Bank and the French Development
Agency (AFD) and is guided by the Government’s Rural Travel and Transport Policy (RTTP). The lead
agency for the Federal Government is the Federal Department of Rural Development (FDRD) of the
Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD). The Federal Project Management Unit
(FPMU) is overseeing the project on behalf of FDRD, while the respective state government of thirteen
(13) participating states will implement it.
The development objective of the proposed Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP) in
Abia state is to improve rural access and agricultural marketing in the participating states while strengthening the
financing and institutional base for effective development, maintenance and management of the rural road networks.
Abia RAAMP is rehabilitating 21.5km Mgboko-Omoba-Itungwa-Amairi-Amaise-Ahiaba Ubi-Nkwowelechi
road is selected for pilot.
Activities under component 1 are expected to require land for advancing the project development objective. Land acquisition associated with the component 1 activities are likely to have direct social and economic impacts on PAPs. And that require the preparation and implementation of RAP with the aim of; i) identifying and assess the direct social and economic risks associated within the corridor of the proposed 21.5km roads rehabilitation works and, ii) prepare social and economic impacts mitigation measures to assists PAPs restore their livelihoods to pre-project level and if possible better in line with World Bank Policy on involuntary resettlement and the relevant Nigeria policies and laws.
Project Description
The plan 21.5km road rehabilitation work traverses 2 LGAs in Abia state; namely, Obingwa and Isiala Ngwa
South and involves the rehabilitation and maintenance of existing rural roads. The road stretches from
Itungwa market junction to Mgboko-Amaise-Amairi-Ahiabaubi and terminates at Nkwoelechi – Omoba.
Project Components
The Project has 4 distinct components:
Component 1- Improvement of Rural Access and Trading Infrastructure;
Component 2- Sector Reform, Asset Management and Agro-Logistics Performance Enhancement
Component 3- Institutional Development, Project Management and Risk Mitigation
Component 4 – Contingency emergency response
ES 2: Legal and policy framework
This RAP was prepared in cognizance with the OP/BP 4.12 and the relevant Nigerian extant law on land
expropriation (Land Use Act 1978). The RAP team reviewed the Land Use Act of 1978, the Resettlement
Policy Framework for RAAMP, the Environmental and Social Management Framework, the Environmental
ix
and Social Management Plan (ESMP), the Project Implementation Manual (PIM) and the Project Appraisal
Document (PAD).
ES 3: Socioeconomics of PAPs
The census carried out within the 21.5km road corridor has enabled the identification of those Project Affected Persons (PAPs) who are eligible for assistance. Persons who are residing within the 21.5km priority roads corridor and fall under the eligibility criteria stated in OP 4.12 paragraph 15(a), (b) and (c) are considered as PAPs and will be eligible for compensation and resettlement assistance under this RAP.
Age: 75% of the PAPs are below the age 60 while the remaining 25% are 60 years and above. This means
that majority of the PAPs are within active labor force age and do not fall under the definition of vulnerable
people in the execution of this RAP.
Gender: Majority of PAPs (62.5%) are males, while 37.5% are females. This informs the need to ensure
gender inclusive livelihood restoration program for the potential vulnerable women as well as the need for
informing women the importance of their participation and also on compensation payment process and
entitlements
Level of Education: Overall, about 94% of PAPs can be considered to be literate. The 94% proportion
for literacy in the project area includes all that have attained at least primary education. Level of education
of PAPs is important in determining PAPs capacity to take new opportunities that are available under the
project.
Means of Livelihood:
The result of the survey indicated that out of the 16 potential PAPs as identified, 4 are farmers, 6 are traders
and, 6 are artisans whose access to their business premises may be impacted during construction work. On
this consideration, a measure shall be taken to ensure that blocking of access road is possibly avoided. Abia
RAAMP is addressing this concern via the ESMP instrument being prepared for the project. These measures
are described in section 4.2.3 of this Report.
Income: PAPs in the area are generally low income earners. For example, about 75% of the PAPs earn
about N434 or US$1.19 per day which falls below the UN poverty threshold of US$1.90 per day. This can
be ascribed to: i) poor access of the predominantly farming population, ii) lack of access to modern farming
techniques and, iii) lack of agro value chain infrastructures such as markets and roads.
ES 4: Compensation and Resettlement Assistance
PAPs will be provided with compensation and resettlement assistance for their losses. While structures and
livelihood activities within the existing RoW will be qualified for compensation and assistance, there will not
be compensation for land on which structures are built and livelihood activities are carried on. Adequate
x
compensation and resettlement assistance shall be given to them with the aim of attaining the policy
objectives and principles stated in the World Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12). A total
of Four Million and Forty Seven thousand, Two Hundred and Eighty Seven Naira (N4,047,287) is
allocated in the budget of this RAP to cover compensation and resettlement assistance as well as RAP
implementation costs. The anticipated impacts and costs are shown in the table below.
Summary of Impact Assessment
S/N Item Affected Unit Total
Compensation
Naira
1 Number of economic trees affected 227 1,363,950
2 Number of crops affected 313 62,100
3 Number of structures (shops) affected 2 181,330
4 Number of Vulnerable people 4 760,000
Total 2,367,380
ES 5: Public Consultation and Participation
Consultations were held with villages around the corridor of the RAAMP project roads and , all PAPs whose
land, properties and livelihood are to be affected within the 21.5km corridors of the road. These
consultations were carried out between August 11-12 2019 through community sensitization and meetings
which include town hall meetings and Focused Group Discussions (FGD). Town criers were utilized to
alert the PAPs about the town hall meetings, where they were informed of the census cut-off date, (which
was on the 12thof August 2019) the grievance redress mechanism (GRM) available to them and their rights
and choices as regards resettlement options. PAPs were also informed that they will be compensated at full
replacement costs for affected assets in accordance with the entitlement matrix presented in this RAP before
the commencement of civil works. In Umuagu community, the women expressed concern on the need for
timely execution of the project. In Obete community women lamented on the critical need of the road to
the women. They have no access to move their farm produce to the market stating that it forces them to
sell their farm produces below market price. There was also the issue of respecting their culture which
forbids bringing or eaten of Three Leave yam. Other concerns was on the potential use of construction
equipment to cause obstruction on access road thereby impairing businesses and livelihood of host
communities. These concerns were addressed. For details, see section 10.3 of this RAP report.
ES 6: Institutional Arrangements for Implementation
xi
Key partners for the RAP implementation include State Project Implementation Unit (SPIU), Federal
Project Management Unit (FPMU), Abia State Ministry of Cooperative and Rural Development, Abia State
Ministry of Environment and the World Bank. The SPIU reviews the RAP report and submits to the
FPMU. The FPMU reviews the RAP report and forward to the World Bank for final review and clearance,
while the Ministry of Environment will in coordination with the SPIU disclose the RAP report in country
in line with the extant relevant laws of Nigeria. It is the responsibility of the World Bank to disclose the
RAP in its external website (the infoshop). After the report has been cleared and disclosed, it is the
responsibility of the SPIU to carry out the detailed mitigation measures such as payment of compensation
to PAPs, implementation of livelihood restoration measures, setting up and funding of grievance redress
mechanism. Similarly, the Ministry of Cooperation and Rural Development and FPMU will monitor the
implementation of the RAP compensation and livelihood restoration program. Funding of the RAP will be
the responsibility of the State/SPIU through its counterpart fund.
ES7: Arrangements for Monitoring and Implementation
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the RAP will be carried out throughout the project implementation
phase. Monitoring will involve internal and independent monitoring. The activities of the internal
monitoring will be handled by the Social Safeguard Officer within the SPIU while the independent
monitoring will be carried out by a firm or an independent consultant to be engaged by the SPIU. The Social
Safeguard Officer shall monitor and record the performance of the RAP implementation based on the
monitoring indicators in this RAP and the findings will be recorded in quarterly reports to be furnished to
the FPMU and the World Bank. In addition to verifying the information furnished in the internal supervision
and monitoring reports, the independent monitoring agency will visit all PAPs in the 20.5km road route, six
months after the RAP has been implemented to amongst other things, determine whether the procedures
for PAPs participation and delivery of compensation and other rehabilitation entitlements were done in
accordance with this RAP.
ES 8: Budget and Implementation Schedule
The total budget for preparing and implementing this RAP for the proposed 21.5km selected rural road for
Abia State RAAMP is Four Million and Forty-Seven thousand, Two Hundred and Eighty-Seven
Naira(N4,047,287). A breakdown of the budget is presented in chapter 13 by line items. The budget will
be funded by the State/SPIU from the state counterpart fund. RAP implementation will begin after the
report has been cleared or approved by the World Bank. The implementation activities are presented in the
implementation timetable presented in chapter 13 and will include report disclosure, capacity building,
xii
payment of compensation and resettlement assistance, full operationalization of grievance redress
mechanism and RAP implementation monitoring. Implementation is expected to begin in September 2019
and be completed in December 2019 before civil works begin.
ES 9: Grievance Redress Mechanism
The GRM is anchored on the need to provide a forum locally to receive, hear and resolve disputes arising
from RAP implementation in the best interest of all parties. Its aim is to forestall the lengthy process of
litigation, which could affect the progress of project. Thus, this RAP includes a GRM which is subject to
review upon the finalization and clearance by the Bank. A standalone Beneficiary Feedback (BF) and
Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) for RAAMP is currently being developed by an independent
consultant. This report will further outline the procedure for grievance redress for the Abia RAAMP
ES 10: Disclosure of RAP
This RAP has been prepared in consultation with the Abia SPIU, FPMU and all PAPs along the 21.5km
proposed road network to be rehabilitated. This RAP will be submitted to the FPMU and the World Bank
by the Abia SPIU for review and clearance., The instrument will be disclosed by the SPIU through the
FMEnv and will be displayed at easily accessible centers to the stakeholders and also at the World Bank
website to ensure compliance with relevant Nigerian legislations and World Bank’s Policy on Involuntary
Resettlement (OP4.12).

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION, PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
1.0 Introduction The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has initiated the preparation of the Rural Access and
Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP) in 13 States of Nigeria including Abia state; with credit from
World Bank and the French Development Agency (AFD). The lead agency for the Federal
Government is the Federal Department of Rural Development (FDRD) of the Federal Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD). The Federal Project Management Unit (FPMU) is
overseeing the project on behalf of FDRD, while implementation in Abia state is under the State
Project Implementation Unit (SPIU) under the Ministry of Cooperation and Rural Development.
The project development objective of the RAAMP is to improve rural access and agricultural
marketing in selected participating states, whilst strengthening the financing and institutional base for
rural and state road network sustainability.
1.1 Project Components The project includes 4 components as presented below:
Components Sub-components
Component A: Improvement of Rural Access and
Trading Infrastructure (US$272 million
Sub-component A1 involves:
• rural roads upgrading
• construction of cross-drainage structures
• improvement of 65 numbers of agro-logistics centers Subcomponent A.2 involves:
• design, procurement and consultancy supervision support to sub-component A.1 activities
Component B: Sector Reform, Asset
Management and Agro-logistics Performance
Enhancement (US$208 million
• Sub-component B.1 involves other civil works (Road Maintenance and Spot Improvement of rural roads).
• Sub-component B.2 involves support to agro-logistics activities.
• Sub-component B.3: Consultancies Studies and Supervision.
Component C: Institutional Development,
Project Management and Risk Mitigation (US$72
million
• The component involves technical and material support for the rural transport and agro-logistics capacity building including: finance (a) goods, logistics and project related operating costs, technical assistance and advisory support, training and study tours, monitoring, project impact evaluation & comprehensive technical audit and risk mitigation & resiliency related technical assistance
Component D: Contingent Emergency Response
(US$0 million)
• This component is expected to support affected rural transport and trading infrastructure affected by the natural disaster in participating states.
14
Beneficiaries of RAAMP in Abia state will include crop farmers, poultry and livestock farmers, agro
product processors, transporters and community people that the road will provide access to their
farms, market and other social service centers.
Abia RAAMP is providing 500km length access road in 12 LGAs in Abia state. However, this RAP
focuses on the 21.5km prioritized Mgboko-Omoba-Itungwa-Amairi-Amaise-Ahiaba Ubi-
Nkwowelechi roads.
The rehabilitation of the prioritized 21.5km rural road would entail engineering works including site
clearing, mobilization of equipment; removal of topsoil, earth works, excavation, drainage structure
and facilities, earth filing, road surfacing etc. These activities could result in Environmental and Social
impacts thus, triggering the World Bank’s Safeguard Policies including Environmental Assessment
OP 4.01, Natural Habitats OP 4.04, Physical and Cultural Resources OP 4.11 and Involuntary
Resettlement OP 4.12. Following the careening exercise carried out in the 21.5km roads, it was
determined that OP4.12 is applicable for this corridor of the road. This Resettlement Action Plan
(RAP), therefore, is being prepared to address issues arising from Involuntary Resettlement-OP4.1.
1.2 Description of Project Area The sub project area covers 21.5km in length from Itungwa market junction through Mgboko-Amaise-
Amairi-Ahiabaubi and terminates at Nkwoelechi – Omoba junction. Farmland is the dominant land
use along the road, this account for more than 70% of the area. Similarly, there are several minor and
major settlements and social amenities along the route. Main social amenities are schools, health care
centers, markets, churches, water supply points and power supply installations.

CHAPTER TWO PROJECT POTENTIAL IMPACTS
2.1 Component Entailing Land Acquisition/Involuntary Resettlement It is determined that OP 4.12 is applicable to the 21.5km road corridor(s) because the sub-project
activities, under Component A: Improvement of Rural Access and Trading Infrastructure (Sub-
component A.1: Major Civil Works), which include rehabilitation works will involve the demolition
of 2 shop structures, 227 units of economic trees and 313 crops. These assets are located within the
existing road and along the ROW. Farmers, traders, shop owners, tenants, landlords (a total of 16
PAPs) are found along the 21.5km corridor.
2.2.1 Description of Affected Project Routes and Assets
The road is located southward off Aba- Umuahia old road. The existing road is an earth road with
some level of fill at some sections. The available average width of the road varies from 9m to 12m.
The road traverses seven villages as depicted in the road name. The terrains are flat low land with no
river crossing nor surface water within its 1 km radius. Source of drinking water is public borehole.
Agricultural crops found in the area are palm tree, cassava, maize and yam. The means of
transportation along this route are motorcycle, tricycle, bicycle, and commuter vehicles. The project
area is connected to the national grid for electricity supply. The photo below describes condition of
the road

N0329880, E0573825
Figure 2: Project area showing some potential affected items

OP 4.12 is applicable under (the 21.5km rural road rehabilitation) road sub project. The sub-project
activities in Component A: Improvement of Rural Access and Trading Infrastructure (Sub-component
A.1: Major Civil Works) which include rehabilitation works for the proposed rural roads in Abia state
will involve the demolition of 2 structures which encroached the existing ROW and also economic
trees/crops along the ROW and portion of the shop of one of the affected structures as well as 5
tenants who will potentially lose their annual tenancy rent.
2.2 Design and Consideration to Avoid and Mitigate Land Acquisition Abia RAAMP embarked on the following technical steps and consideration to avoid and/or reduce land acquisition in the project area:
i. Ensuring as much as possible that the engineering design for the road intervention follows the existing alignments of the roads;
ii. The setback for access and buffer on the corridors were made known to the stakeholders to be 10 meters and can be reduced to 8 meters for areas not requiring drainages and the built up areas.
iii. Consulting/negotiating with the land encroached/PAPs/farmers on time to expect commencement of construction work activities within their corridors. This was to give the PAPs opportunity to harvest mature crops along the RoW before the beginning of civil works. Based on this, encroachers/PAPs whose crops will mature and be harvested before the start of civil works will not be adversely affected1.
iv. As part of avoidance options, project communities were informed during consultations that the project was not considering additional land take outside reclaiming the existing ROW being encroached upon. Those PAPs who have encroached the existing alignment (ROW) will not be compensated for land but are entitled to compensation for loss of assets, crops and structure (where applicable). They will also benefit from livelihood restoration support.
2.3 Mechanism established to minimize resettlement
Abia RAAMP will entrench a clause in the civil work contract that the contractor will restrict its
activities within the alignment and shall not clear vegetation or displace persons who occupy land
outside the 10m width established in the design. Similarly, Abia RAAMP will monitor the
implementation phase of the project to ensure that the contractor adheres to good industry practices
which minimizes resettlement.
1 It is instructive to note that the PAPs under consideration are not landless but those who own land and had encroached from their

CHAPTER THREE RESETTELEMNT OBJECTIVES, COVERAGE AND PREPARATION
3.1 Overview The objective of this RAP is to design and implement social and economic impacts mitigation measures which may result from land acquisition to advance the sub project objective. The ultimate objective of this resettlement plan is achieving the policy objectives and principles of OP 4.12 which requires that Bank financed projects should:
• avoid where possible involuntary resettlement or minimize exploring all possible project design,
• where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as development program, providing enough investment resources to enable the PAPs to share project benefits,
• PAPs should be meaningfully consulted and should have the opportunity to participate in the planning and implementation of the resettlement intervention,
• PAPs should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standard of living or at least to restore them, in real term, to pre-project level.
Activities under component 1 are expected to require land for advancing the sub project development objective. Land acquisition associated with the component 1 sub project activities are likely to have direct social and economic impacts on PAPs and that require the preparation and implementation of RAP with the aim of; i) identifying and assessing the direct social and economic risks associated within the corridor of the proposed 20.5km roads rehabilitation works and, ii) prepare social and economic impacts mitigation measures to assists PAPs restore their livelihoods to pre-project level and if possible better in line with World Bank Policy on involuntary resettlement and the relevant Nigeria policies and laws.
If component 1 negative impacts are not mitigated properly, Project Affected Persons (PAPs) will
face difficult economic, social, and environmental risks. Thus, this RAP is designed to mitigate those
unavoidable risks and adverse impacts on PAPs and their livelihoods.
Similarly, where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement in the 21.5km selected roads, this RAP conceives and executes resettlement activities as sustainable development intervention. Its compensation and resettlement budget provides enough investment resources to enable the PAPs to share in project benefits. It has provided and will continue to provide platform for PAPs2 to be meaningfully consulted throughout the project cycle and shall afford them the opportunity to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs. This RAP provided resettlement assistance to PAPs to assist them in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-project levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher3.
2 The term “Project Affected Persons (PAPs)” refers to persons who are affected in any of the ways described in
para. 3, of OP 4.12 3 Paragraph 3(b) of OP 4.12 stated that PAPs should be assisted in their efforts to improve or restore their
livelihoods.
19
3.2 RAP scope and impact coverage This RAP covers the direct economic and social impacts4 that both result from component 1 activities
and are caused by:
(a) The involuntary5 taking of land6 resulting in: (i) relocation or loss of shelter, (ii) loss of
assets or access to assets or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether
or not the affected persons must move to another location, or
(b) The involuntary restriction of access7 to legally designated parks and protected areas resulting
in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of the displaced persons. Project activities resulting
in involuntary resettlement that in the judgment of the Bank, are (i) directly and
significantly related to the project, (ii) necessary to achieve project objectives as set forth
in the project documents and, (iii) carried out, or planned to be carried out,
contemporaneously with the project.
3.3 RAP Preparation Measures The preparation of this RAP was guided by the RPF and include:
(a) Measures to ensure that the PAPs are:
• Informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement,
• Consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives,
• Provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost8 for loss of assets9 attributable directly to the project,
• Offered support for a transition period based on reasonable estimate of the time10 likely needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living11.
• Provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures described in paragraph 6(a) (iii) of the OP4.12, such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities.
4 Where there are adverse indirect social or economic impacts, it is good practice for the SPIU to undertake a social assessment and implement measures to minimize and mitigate adverse economic and social impacts, particularly upon poor and vulnerable groups. Other environmental, social, and economic impacts that do not result from land taking may be identified and addressed through environmental assessments and other RAAMP reports and instruments.
5 For purposes of this policy, “involuntary” means actions that may be taken without the displaced person’s informed consent or power of choice.
6 “Land” includes anything growing on or permanently affixed to land, such as buildings and crops. 7 For the purposes of this policy, involuntary restriction of access covers restrictions on the use of resources imposed on
people living outside the park or protected area, or on those who continue living inside the park or protected area during and after project implementation. In cases where new parks and protected areas are created as part of the project, persons who lose shelter, land, or other assets are covered under para. 3(a). Persons who lose shelter in existing parks and protected areas are also covered under para.3(a).
8"Replacement cost" is the method of valuation of assets that helps determine the amount sufficient to replace lost assets and cover
transaction costs. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account.

CHAPTER FOUR
SOCIOECONOMIC AND CENSUS DATA
4.1 Census The objective of the census12 was to identify and determine the number of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs), their assets, and the potential impacts of component A; Sub-component A1 activities. The outcome indicated a total of 16 PAPs, made up of 10 males and 6 females will be impacted. The census took place from August 9-12th 2019 .
4.2 Socioeconomic Profile of PAPs The section below discusses the social economic profile of the 16 PAPs in the planned 21.5km road.
It will present PAPs by age, education, income and means of livelihoods. Overall PAPs within impact
corridor are found to be very poor and vulnerable to minor social and economic shocks.
4.2.1 Age
All PAPs are married persons with an average age of 45years. Table 4.1 below illustrates the age
distribution of PAPs. The result of this survey implies that 56.2% of the PAPs (of ages between 30 to
49years) are within active labor force age and would be able to withstand the shock from the envisaged
negative impact of the project while 25% of the PAPs are potentially vulnerable persons (of ages
60years and above) and are at higher risk of losing their sources of livelihood.

Given that most economically active members of PAPs and good number of elderly people will likely be
impacted by the project, this RAP contains a provision of N760,000 to support livelihood restoration support
to those PAPs who will be qualified for additional assistance or support.
12Census was conducted in the impact corridor.
21
4.2.2 Education
It was observed that 93.7% of the PAPs in the impact corridor have at least attained primary education
as illustrated in Table 4.2 below:
Table 4.2: Education Attainment Pattern of PAPs

Overall, about 94% of PAPs can be considered to be literate and this will influence communication
and understanding in RAP implementation, makes it easier to mainstream PAPs into livelihood
support programs and help them participate meaningfully in RAP implementation activities. . Also,
the predominance of the literate class will provide the opportunity to be mainstreamed readily easy
into the project implementation.
4.2.3 Means of Livelihoods
Of the total 16 PAPs to be impacted 4 are farmers, 6 are traders and, 6 are artisans. PAPs who are
traders and those who engaged in business activities may experience difficulties to access their various
properties during construction work. On this consideration, measures shall be taken to ensure that
blocking of access road is possibly avoided or alternative access is provided. Excavation or earth work
that may impair access to shops will be carried out on a progressive manner, which reduces the length
of time of completion of tasks. During the civil works, detour options such as alternative short access,
use of concrete slabs to cross excavated zones and temporal road delineation will be applied to ensure
that PAPs access to means of livelihood is not closed. Table 4.3 is the outcome of the survey on PAPs
livelihoods. It shows as follow:

Given the vulnerability of farmers and traders to minor economic shock, a provision of N552,000 is
made in this RAP to compensate for their losses of income. Commencement of Civil work will be
planned in such a way that farmers will be able to harvest their agricultural products.
4.2.4 Income
The census result indicated that 43.7% of PAPs fall within the income category of ₦10,000 to ₦19,000
per month, which implies that the PAPs are low income earners and are vulnerable to little economic
and social shocks. Further analysis of their daily income revealed that 75% of the PAPs earn only
N434 or US$1.1913 per day - an income level that is below the US$1.90 poverty threshold established
by the UN. The remaining 25% of PAPs earns a daily income a little bit higher than the poverty
threshold.
The result of the census on PAPs monthly income is shown in Table 4.4 below:

The amount of daily income earned by majority of the PAPs demonstrates the extent of their vulnerability to any social
and economic shocks. This will require measures to adequately mitigate economic impacts to those PAPs who are below
the poverty threshold. The economic impact measure will include providing additional assistance to PAPs through
transitional difficult times that may be caused by the project. In view of this, N160,000 as allocated to offset potential
economic shocks that may result from combinations of project impact and extreme poverty.

CHAPTER FIVE
REVIEW OF POLICIES, LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKS 5.1 Local Laws and Customs Governing Resettlement
5.1.1 The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
The Constitution of the Federal Republic prohibits compulsory acquisition by the State of property
without the prompt payment of compensation. It recognizes:
➢ The right to private property; to acquire and own property and to protection by the State,
➢ The right of access to a court of law or tribunal for the determination of interest in the property
and the amount of compensation.
5.1.2 Land Use Act
The Legal basis for land acquisition and resettlement in Nigeria is the Land Use Act 1978. Basic rights
and directives governing land/ property-take under this act include:
❖ All lands in the territory of a state are vested in the governor of that state, to be held in trust
and administered for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians;
❖ Governors possess lawful authority to revoke a right of occupancy for overriding public
interest.
The Land Use Act of 1978 (LUA), the Constitution of 1999 and the Public Lands Acquisition Laws
of the relevant states constitute the governing policy for land acquisition in Nigeria. As is the case with
most national and state laws on compulsory acquisition of land in the public interest or for a public
purpose, the legislation enables the State to acquire land (more precisely, to abrogate leases and other
authorizations to occupy land). The Acts also specify the procedures the State must follow to clear the
land and define the compensatory measures the State must implement in order to compensate the
people affected.
Under the LUA, there are two types of land rights (USAID, 2010):
• Statutory occupancy rights: Individuals and entities can obtain a statutory right for occupancy
of urban and non-urban land. Recipients of Certificates of Occupancy are obligated to pay the state
for any unexhausted improvements (i.e. improvements with continuing value such as a building or
irrigation system) on the land at the time the recipient takes possession and must pay rent fixed by
the State. Rights are transferrable with the authorization of the State Governor.
• Customary right of occupancy: Local Governments may grant customary rights of occupancy
to land in any non-urban area to any person or organization for agricultural, residential, and other
purposes, including grazing and other customary purposes ancillary to agricultural use. The term
for customary rights (which is contained in the application form and not the legislation) is 50 years
and may be renewed for a second 50-year term. Recipients of customary rights of occupancy must
24
pay annual tax on the land and cannot transfer any portion of the rights without approval of the
Governor (for sales of rights) or the local government (other transfers).
The LUA vests all land in the urban areas of each state under the control and management of the
Governor of the State. The Governor of the State holds the land in trust for the people of the state
and is solely responsible for the allocation of land in all urban areas to individuals who reside in the
state and to organizations for residential, agricultural and commercial purposes. All other land in the
State subject to conditions under the LUA is under the control and management of the local
government. The Act divests traditional owners of land and vests such land in the state Governor for
the benefit and use of all Nigerians. It provides the processes through which land may be acquired by
the Federal Government.
On rural land where there are no formal title deeds and any land rights are customarily held,
compensation for land acquisition is only provided for buildings, crops and other ‘improvements’ to
the land as well as rent for the year the land was occupied. Payment is not paid for land itself since
customary ownership is not recognized by government.
For community-owned land where ownership is not claimed by any one individual or family, the
Governor will determine who receives the compensation. This might be the community or the chief
or a community leader who can make use of the money according to customary law. Alternatively,
money can be paid into a community fund. The Governor has the power to cancel the right that any
person has to live on or make use of any piece of land, if the land is required for use in the interest of
the public. This includes mining and oil pipelines. Rights to land cease with immediate effect upon
receipt of notice from the Governor
5.1.3 Customary Law
Under customary law, land can be owned by the community; clan or family; traditional institutions; or
individual. Diverse customary practices exist from place to place, which permit lands to be sold, given
away, inherited or reserved, as the case may be. By Nigerian law, where land is owned by the
community, compensation may be paid to the chief on behalf of the community or into a specially
designated fund for the benefit of the community.
5.1.4 Nigeria’s Cultural Policy (1996)
The National Cultural Policy is generally regarded as an instrument of promotion of national identity
and Nigerian unity, as well as of communication and cooperation among different Nigerian and/or
African cultures.
• Cultural Heritage laws on Archaeological excavations
The definition of Cultural Object is designated under the National Commission of Museums and
Monuments laws, ordinances and decrees issued in 1969, 1974 and 1979 consolidated in NCMM Act,
chapter 242, Laws of Nigeria, 1990 and the National Archives Decree No 30 of 1992.
25
Under the laws establishing these institutions who are in charge of the protection of Cultural property
in Nigeria. Cultural Object is captured as antiquities, quoting inter alia Section 32(a-c) I, ii,”
a) Any object of archaeological interest or land in which any such object was discovered or
is believed to exist; or
b) Any relic of early human settlement or colonization; or
c) any work of art or craft work; including any statutes, model, clay, figure, figure cast or rust
metal, carving, house post, door, ancestral figure, religious mask, staff, drum, bolt,
ornament, utensil, weapon, armour, regalia, manuscript or document if such work of art
or craft work is of indigenous origin and – (i) was made or fashioned before the year 1918;
or (ii) is of historical, artistic or scientific interest and is or has been used at any time in
the performance and for the purposes of any traditional ceremony...”
Summary of the basic principles of the regulations on archaeological excavations and on the
monitoring of excavations in force in the country are noted below.
Under NCMM Act, Chapter 242, Laws of Nigeria, 1990, Section 19 (i) titled “Excavation and
Discoveries” Section 19
(1) No person shall by means of excavation or similar operations search for any antiquities unless
authorized by permit issued by the Commission and with the consent of the State Government
in whose territory the search is to be carried out.
(2) The commission shall before issuing a permit under this section satisfy itself that the applicant
is competent by training and experience to carry out the operations for which the permit is
required and may in its discretion require to be satisfied that he has the financial means or the
finance or other support of an archaeological or scientific society or institutions of good repute
(3) A permit issued under this section –
(a) may be made subject to such conditions as the Commission may think fit to impose;
(b) may at any time be revoked by the Commission without any reason being assigned;
(c) shall not be of itself any right to enter upon any land without the consent of the holder or
occupier of the land or of any other person entitled to grant such consent.
(4) Notwithstanding the issue of a permit under this section, the person to whom the permit was
issued and all persons engaged in any excavation or other operations to which the permit relates
shall, if so required by any person duly authorised in writing by the Commission, suspend such
operations until notified by the Commission that they may be resumed.
(5) Any person who contravenes the provision of sub-section (1) or (4) of this section or fails to
comply with any conditions of a permit granted to him under this section, shall be guilty of an
offence and liable on conviction to a fine of N500 or to imprisonment for six months or to both
such fine and imprisonment.
26
Section 20- (1) Any person who discover an object of archaeological interest in the course of
operations mentioned in the Subsection (1) above shall, not later than 7 days thereafter, give
notice thereof together with particulars of the place and the circumstances of the discovery to the
Commission and to the Secretary to the local government where such discovery is made or to
such other persons as may be prescribed.
(3) Any person who knowingly fails to comply with any of the foregoing provisions for this
section shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of N500 or to imprisonment
for six months or both such fine and imprisonment.
There is an association called The Art Rescuers of Nigeria which is formed by different individual
Nigerians scattered all over the countries comprising of about 100 art agents empowered by the
National Commission for Museums to retrieve cultural objects in the different communities
spread all over Nigeria. Presently, the Government is trying to sensitize the different communities
on the importance of cultural objects so that they will understand it’s centrality to their very
existence itself.
5.1.5 National Social Legislation
In the consideration of Nigerian social legislation, the following issues may be some of the important
social aspects of the Project:
• Resettlement and displacement;
• Community health and safety;
• Labour, working conditions and employment;
• Cultural property;
• Economic activities; and
• Access to fishing.
The following pieces of legislation would be the applicable regulatory instruments.
5.1.6 International Best Practice Standards and Guidelines
Development Finance Institutions such as the World Bank provide guidance on their requirements
for the RAP process and place emphasis on achieving sustainable environmental, social and health
outcomes.
The overall Project design and this RAP are based on relevant guidelines published by the World Bank
and therefore are expected to meet the resettlement requirements of potential lending institutions.
The international requirements and standards have been considered within the RAP process and are
described below:
• World Bank's Environmental and Social Safeguard Policies, including:
27
• OP 4.12 - Involuntary Resettlement (World Bank OP 4.12)
5.1.7 OP 4.12 – Involuntary Resettlement
According to the World Bank’s safeguard policy on Involuntary Resettlement, physical and economic
dislocation resulting from World Bank funded developmental Projects should be avoided or
minimized as much as possible.
Unavoidable displacement should involve the preparation and implementation of a RAP to address
the direct economic and social impacts resulting from the resettlement. Under World Bank OP 4.12,
the steps required for resettlement preparation and planning are as follows (World Bank, 2004):
• Step 1: Land Acquisition Assessment: to establish the extent, location and current use of
the land required for the Project.
• Step 2: Avoid / Minimize Resettlement: seek alternative locations / routes for the Project.
• Step 3: Household Census and Socioeconomic Survey: an inventory of persons by the
Project and associated assets (including physical structures and land-based assets such as crops
and grazing land). They are usually conducted in close coordination with local government
officials so that the data can be validated.
• Step 4: Legal Framework: used as a basis for acceptance and enforcement of terms included
in the RAP. It also enables eligibility criteria and entitlements to be decided based on relevant
local and international requirements. This step defines the cut-off date for entitlements.
• Step 5: Stakeholder Consultation: consultation with the affected population in order to
ensure that the resettlement plan is implemented fairly, meeting the needs of all concerned. It
allows local communities to express their concerns and answer questions and is the forum in
which valuation and grievance procedures are discussed and agreed.
• Step 6: Feasibility Study of Resettlement Sites: determines the viability, of residential and
agricultural sites. It includes a host population capacity assessment to evaluate the availability
of water, soil quality and topography; it also includes a needs assessment to ensure that the
sites meet the needs of both the host and resettled communities.
• Step 7: Feasibility of Income Improvement Measures / Livelihood Restoration and
Capacity Development: determines the technical, economic and financial feasibility of
programs proposed to restore the livelihoods of those economically affected by the Project
and includes assessing training needs, vacancies and opportunities for job creation.
28
• Step 8. Implementation: involves setting up the working groups/institutional framework to
manage resettlement, putting the grievance mechanism in place, moving and resettling affected
persons, distributing compensation and managing livelihood restoration programmes.
5.2. Differences between Nigerian Law and OP 4.12
There are clear differences between OP 4.12 and Nigeria policy guidelines on (i) eligibility and
valuation of compensations. Country legislature stops at compensation for lost assets, whereas the OP
4.12 goes further with measures to ensure that (i) Displaced people are not worse-off after
displacement; (ii) Threatened livelihoods and coping strategies are strengthened; (iii) Incomes, ways of
life and socio-cultural networks are restored; and (iv) Consultation and participation protocols allow
displaced persons to enjoy greater benefit of voice and choice in the resettlement process etc.
These and other differences are elaborated in Table 5.1 below
Table 5. 1: Comparison of Nigerian Legislation and World Bank Resettlement Policy

Requires the elaborate design of multiple orders of grievance redress mechanism, which provides varied access to suit PAPs understanding and comfort for dispute resolution promptly in an impartial and transparent manner
Requires the elaborate design of multiple orders of grievance redress mechanism, which provides varied access to suit PAPs understanding and comfort for dispute resolution promptly in an impartial and transparent manner. Recognizes judicial redress as the last option.
The RAP for this channelization and construction project will be aligned with the World Bank Operational
Policy (OP 4.12) which indicates best practices to rehabilitation of livelihoods of people affected by the
implementation of the project. Hence, where there are gaps between the Land Use Act (1978) and the World
Bank Policy (OP 4.12), the policy or the legal provision that offers better choice to PAPs will be applied.

CHAPTER SEVEN ELIGIBILITY AND ENTITLEMENT
7.1 Overview
The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) of RAAMP provides guidelines and procedures for
identifying eligible persons for compensation and various entitlements for varied categories. This
section provides with definition of displaced persons and criteria for determining their eligibility for
compensation and other resettlement assistance, including the cut-off date.
7.2 Definition of PAPs The census carried out has enabled the identification of those affected and eligible for assistance and the nature of assistance. Persons who are residing within the 21.5km priority roads corridor and fall under the eligibility criteria stated in OP 4.12 paragraph 15(a), (b) and (c) shall be considered as PAPs and will be eligible for compensation and resettlement assistance under this RAP.
7.3 Eligibility Criteria PAPs who meets the following three eligibility criteria are eligibility for resettlement benefits:
i) Persons holding legal title (or the equivalent in customary-law) to the land they occupy or use to derive their livelihood are entitled to full replacement compensation for their property and other resettlement assistance,
ii) Persons lacking title but with legal rights that can be ratified by recognized legal process, e.g. Heirs to an estate are entitled to full replacement compensation for their property and other resettlement assistance,
iii) Persons with no legal or legitimate claim to the land they occupy or use are entitle to resettlement assistance,
Those having legitimate rights shall receive assistance to regularize their status and shall be treated just as those having legal rights.
Persons having no legal rights to land under law may not be compensated for the land they occupy
but they are entitled to compensation for other assets (e.g. housing) and to receive assistance. In
practice, this may mean that squatters and other non-legal occupants receive the same entitlement as
those having legal rights.
Tenants may be granted resettlement entitlements along with owners or they may be given a subsidy to find a new rental property. Entitlements shall include transitional support such as moving expenses, assistance with food and childcare during a move and other needed support.
All PAPs irrespective of their status, whether they have formal titles, legal rights or not, squatters or otherwise encroaching illegally on land, are eligible for some kind of assistance if they occupied the project area before the cut-off date.
7.4 Cut-Off-Date The cut-off-date was fixed for 12th August, 2019 and was announced during community/stakeholders engagement with the project communities held on 11th August 2019 (at Obete community hall) for communities within Obingwa LGA axis and on the 12th of August 2019 at Umuagu community hall,
35
for communities within IsialaNgwa south LGA axis. It was further communicated through community town crier for the reach of larger members of the community. 7.5 Proof of Eligibility: An identification mechanism has been developed as proof of eligibility for compensation of the PAPs.
A list of PAPs and their compensation carrying their names, phone numbers, photographs of affected
properties and GPS coordinates is found in Annex 4.
The list also highlights their socio-economic status and compensation costs. PAPs with no phone
numbers shall be identified by their community leaders so long as the name being used for claim is
one recognized in the census register and the catalogue containing the PAP Identity Card.
7.5.1 Entitlement Matrix for the PAPs
Involuntary resettlement under RAAMP sub-projects will be implemented according to a compensation eligibility and entitlements matrix in line with both Nigerian extant laws and WB OP
4.12. A summary entitlements matrix specific for this project is detailed in the RPF for RAAMP.14

CHAPTER EIGHT
VALUATION OF AFFECTED PROPERTIES
8.1 Valuation of Assets The objective of the valuation of affected properties is to determine the current market value of the asset to be impacted. The aim is to ensure that amount paid to PAPs is in line to full replacement cost principle15. Valuation of assets to be affected by the implementation of the component 1 activities was conducted using a general principle adopted in the formulation of the compensation valuation, which follows the World Bank policy that lost income and asset will be valued at their full replacement cost such that the PAPs should not be worse-off than the pre-project level. The method employed to arrive at full replacement value is shown in the various sections of the proceeding paragraphs.
8.1.1 Valuation Method for Structures/Assets
The Full Replacement Cost Method was used in estimating the value of property/structure for this
RAP. This was based on the assumption that the capital value of an existing development can be
equated to the cost of reinstating the development on the same plot at the current labour, material
and other incidental costs. The estimated value represents the cost of the property as if new. The
valuer in the RAP team embarked on a market survey in the building material market closest to the
project area (Ogbuosisi market) to establish the current market prices of the building materials as
presented in Table 8.1.

8.1.2 Valuation Method for Economic Trees
Although government has a harmonized rate for valuation/compensation of crops and economic tree
(See annex 6), a market survey was conducted by an independent valuer of the RAP team to determine
if the government rates are in tune with current market rate. The survey showed that government rates
were lower than prevailing market rate. Therefore, to fill the gap, the current market rate in the project
area was used in this RAP to fulfill the condition “current market rate” of OP 4.12.
In fulfilling the condition, the “Damage Loss Assessment Method” was used to determine compensation for economic trees and crops. Under this method, PAPs are compensated at current market value calculated as follows:
Tc = U x Pg + Sc + Lc
Where: Tc = Tree compensation
U = Unit Rate
Pg = Growth /maturity Period
Sc = Cost of Seedling
Lc = Cost of Labour

CHAPTER NINE COMPENSATION AND OTHER RESETTLEMENT ASSISTANCES
9.1 Introduction: The objective of compensation and resettlement assistance are to assist PAPs to restore their assets
and livelihood at a minimum to pre-project level if not better. Compensation payment to PAPs shall
be in kind, cash or other assets given in exchange for the taking of land, or loss of other assets,
including fixed assets thereon, in part or whole.
The compensation entitlement and eligibility of 16 PAPs is derived from the entitlement matrix which
is summarized in Table 9.1.

9.3 Loss of Economic Trees Of the total of 550 economic trees and crops to be impacted, 227 or 41% are economic trees while
313 or 59 % are crops. The economic trees affected are Plantain, Palm trees, Uha, Soursop, Guava,
Udara, Achara and Pawpaw. The crops affected are pineapples, sugarcane, cassava, Garden egg, bitter
leaf and pumpkin vegetables. Summary of compensation and resettlement for economic trees and
crops is given in Table 9.3 while detail valuation information including types of affected trees and
crops, and their different rates is succinctly presented in annex 3.2.

9.4 Impact on Businesses and Tenants Five PAPs who are operating business within the 21.5km of the impact corridor will be given
resettlement assistance for loss of business income for a period of two months. The business owners
informed the RAP team that they operate their business 6 days a week. It was therefore, estimated
that compensation for loss of income for two (2) months is necessary for the PAPs because it may
take about two months for them to stabilize in the new livelihood or new location of business.
Although the impact on business may be offset in two months, PAPs will be assisted with rental
allowance for a period of one year. This is appropriate given that, they will need to pay for annual
tenancy rate as obtainable in the alternative location.

2 Female aged 60 years and above 1 190,000
TOTAL 4 760,000
As shown in the matrix under section 9.5, the vulnerable people constitute of 3 elderly men and 1
elderly female PAP. These persons by reason of their old age and gender (for the female person) may
disproportionately impacted. Also, they are vulnerable with adapting to shocks from the impact of the
project on their crops/economic trees which has been substantially helpful to their economic well-
being.
During focus group discussion held with the group, it was agreed by all that the project should in
addition to cash compensation, assist them to establish a fish pond or help them to plant other
improved species of economic trees on their private lands. Costs of setting up any of the alternative
projects were weighed and the higher was used for the budget estimate in this RAP.
Therefore, the 4 vulnerable persons whose economic trees and crops are to be affected are entitled to
livelihood restoration support in the sum of N150,000 each in addition to compensation for loss items.
On the basis of agreement reached with PAPs, a total of Naira 760,000 is allocated in this RAP to
provide assistance to the four vulnerable people.
Livelihood restoration plan basically will involve coordinating with agriculture extension workers in
the area so that PAPs get the required support from the appropriate specialized agency. Therefore,
Abia RAAMP will coordinate and facilitate Agricultural Extension services from the nearby Michael
Okpara University of Agriculture in Umuahia, Abia State.

CHAPTER TEN PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS AND PARTICIPATION
10.1 Method of Participation Public consultation is a continuous aspect of this project and the consultations for this RAP was built on existing awareness campaigns conducted in the project area by Abia RAAMP. Public consultation was embarked on and will continue throughout the duration of the project. This consultation applies to and involves participations from local government officials, members of all villages around the corridor of the RAAMP project roads and the environs, all farmers whose land and livelihood will be affected and also owners of properties on the corridors of the road, with a view of propagating the objectives and benefits of RAAMP to the communities and sensitizing the community leaders on how to mobilize their people to ensure full participation in the implementation of the project. These consultations were carried out through general meetings and Focused Group Discussions (FGD). The team ensured that all affected groups participated in the consultations by involving community union leadership and town crier. Future engagement plan and participation is described in the engagement matrix below:
10.2. Choice and Rights During consultation, the consultant informed the communities and PAPs about their choice and
rights in involuntary resettlement. These include:
• PAP’s right to adequate compensation, paid directly to them before eviction, demolition
and/or commencement of civil works.

10.3 Summary of Consultations, Concerns and Resolutions Consultation took place in the identified project road that triggered Involuntary Resettlement.
Consultation took place between 11th-12th August 2019, with participation from the following focal
groups in the project communities; women, elders and PAPs.
Profile of
Groups/stakeholders
consulted
Those consulted are PAPs, vulnerable group and community leaders including women
and elders from Amairi and Umuagu in Isiala Ngwa south LGA and Obete and Umulelu
in Obingwa LGA (being communities where PAPs come from).
Locations where
consultations took place
and dates
Consultations took place in Obete community hall on 11th August 2019 and at Umuagu
community hall on the 12th August 2019.
Storyboard of the
Consultations
Following introduction and prayers in each of the two locations, the Abia State RAAMP
project coordinator introduced the Consultant who has been engaged by Abia RAAMP to
carry out Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) studies in the community, but before the
handing over to the consultant the RAAMP Technical Assistant on environment made a
few remarks on which he emphasized on the overview of the project which is targeted
towards rehabilitation of the existing road in the community as well as the project
development objective. The consultant Mr Oliver Nwuju thereafter took the floor to
thank the members of the community who had gathered as a result of the scheduled
consultation for their reception as he further addressed them. According to him,
Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) studies is necessitated by the need to ensure that all
Persons whose assets will be affected as a result of the construction work will be
adequately compensated and he also informed the PAPs about the cut-off date which
takes effect on 12th of August 2019.
In his address, he sensitized the women on the risk of sexual abuse and exploitation and
informed them about the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) including procedures
available for login in of complaint in case of Gender Based Violence (GBV) issues within
the community. He further inquired to know how disputes involving land or any other
civil matter are being resolved
Major concerns raised by Concerns raised by stakeholders at both venues converge around the following:
50
Stakeholders • In Umuagu community, the women expressed the need for timely execution of
the project.
• Obete women lamented on the critical need of the road to the women of the
community. They have no access to move their farm produce to the market stating
that it forces them to sell their farm produces below market price.
• There was concern on the potential use of construction equipment to cause
obstruction on access road thereby impairing businesses and livelihood of host
communities. There were questions from PAPs as they sought to know:
o The width of the road and if the construction will affect their structures
o The duration of time in which construction will take place
o If there will be any compensation for disturbances to business during
construction.
o What will happen to those whose farm, crops or structures will be
affected?
o How the youth in the community will be gainfully employed during the
civil work in order to improve their living condition
How concerns were
addressed
The questions and concerns of the people were addressed by the consultant and Abia SPC
as follows:
• The Project Affected Persons (PAPs) whose assets will be affected will be
adequately compensated before the commencement of civil work.
• A maintenance group for the road will be constituted in which youth and women
will be actively involved.
• The SPIU will through the contract ensure that the contractor adheres to good
practices, avoid blocking access roads to business premises and residences.
• The width of the road is 10m
• There will be a timely execution of the construction
• The Project Affected Persons (PAPs) whose assets will be affected will be
adequately compensated before the commencement of civil work.

CHAPTER ELEVEN
GRIEVANCE AND REDRESS 11.1 Grievance and Appeals Procedure20 The grievance redress mechanism is anchored on the need to provide a forum locally to receive, hear
and resolve disputes arising from RAP implementation in the best interest of all parties. The objective
is to avoid lengthy process of litigation in reaching dispute resolution, which could affect the progress
of project. The GRM will be accessible to all PAPs, be established closer to affected communities, be
efficient and cost free. Therefore, the setting of grievance redress committee early during RAP
implementation is desirable.
The subject of grievance redress and proper communication to the grass root is one that has been
held in high esteem under RAAMP project. To underscore the importance, RAAMP has engaged an
independent consultant to undertake sensitization, communication and detail setting out of grievance
redress procedures and channels in the four (4) pilot states including Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Bauchi and
Ogun states. Key scope of the assignment is to educate PAPs and community leaders on how the
grievance redress and its process is made available to the PAPs in seamless and cost free conditions.
While the assignment of the independent GRM consultant remains on-going, the RAP team for this project
during consultation with PAPs informed them about the locations and process for lodging complaints at each
level of GRM (this is described in section 11.3). Furthermore, PAPs where informed that they can lodge
complaints orally, via letter writing, email or inside complain boxes which are readily provided, Marked and
kept at the various lodgment venues made known to them.
The flowchart below describes the process of dispute handling:

As shown in the grievance process flow chart above, an aggrieved PAP will have the opportunity to
lodge complaint with the GRC at the residence or palace of the community head. That will be the first
channel of grievance uptake. It is expected that the matter should be addressed and determined within
21 days from date of receiving the complaint. If a PAP feels dissatisfied with the outcome of the
closure of the matter by the community GRC, he/she is encouraged to go to the higher channel for
redress.
11.1.1 Grievance Redress Process
Steps for grievance redress shall involve:
i. Registration
Refer to the court only as last
resort
53
The secretary of the committee will receive grievance from the complainant, register and acknowledge
receipt of grievance to the grievant within 2 days. The registration will capture the following data:
name of the complainant, date of the grievance, category of the grievance, persons involved, and
impacts on complainant life, proofs and witnesses. A registration form will have all these bits of
information.
ii. Treatment of Grievance
This involves the verification of grievance to determine among other things whether the matter has
relationship with the project activities, and whether the matter can be handled/resolved at the level
where it is presented. This will determine if the matter should be referred to the next level or not. Part
of the investigations may also be to assess the cost of lost or risk involved in the grievance.
iii. Closing of the Grievance or the Processing of the matter
This involves options and approaches taken to resolve the case. This may involve site visit for physical
inspection and determination of the claim, negotiation with the aggrieved PAP and feed back to the
parties involved.
iv. Feed back
All responses to the complainant in a grievance redress process that moves beyond a unit level must
be communicated in writing and/or by verbal presentation to the complainant. This will include a
follow up on the corresponding authority where cases are referred, to ascertain the status of reported
cases. Feedback on outcome of each case should get to the complainant through the secretary of
committee or social contact/safeguard person as the case may be. It is expected that reported
complaints at each level will be resolved and determined within 21 days from date of receipt of the
complaint.
11.2 Grievance Redress Institutions The institutions responsible for redress are as follows:
• Resettlement and Compensation Team
• Project Coordinator (PC)/ Resettlement/Compensation/Grievance Committee
• State Steering Committee Level
• National Office
• Court of Competent Jurisdiction
11.3 Structure of Grievance Redress for the Road Rehabilitation Works A sequence of five steps will be prepared to give aggrieved PAPs easy access to redress during the
RAP implementation and the Road Rehabilitation Works. The five step sequence is further elaborated
as follows:
First Level: Dissatisfied PAP forwards complaints to Resettlement and Compensation
Team/Committee
The first step of this procedure is for the aggrieved PAP to make a complaint to the RAP
implementation team. The RAP implementing team in this case is two-tiered, the first tier being the
54
In-house team, composed of the safeguard unit of Abia RAAMP and the Resettlement Committee.
Issues of misinformation and expectation management are easily tempered at this stage; and are usually
tamed at field/community level.
Information received from the field strongly supports that anchoring a GRM under the jurisdiction
of the traditional rulers will be an effective and result oriented exercise. The underlying merit is that
the s leadership system has proven a cordial and notable channel for conflict resolution in the project
areas. The traditional ruler shall head this committee while membership of the committee will consist
of:
• The Traditional ruler or a person appointed by him from his council;
• Secretary to the traditional ruler
• The village/ward head;
• The Woman leader in the community or her secretary
• 2 Representatives of PAPs in the project
• 2 members of the road maintenance committee
A log of such complaints shall be kept by the safeguard unit and treated formally, whether such a
complaint is made orally, or in writing.
Second Level: Intervention by PC/ Resettlement/Compensation/Grievance Committee
If the compliant cannot be resolved at the community level or the PAP is not satisfied with the
resolution reached at community level, the PAP can appeal to the second level. Complaints shall be
presented to the Project coordinator and addressed by a Grievance redress committee constituted by
him. This committee will be known as the Project Resettlement Committee; and shall be composed
of:
• Social safeguards officer;
• Other senior officers of Abia RAAMP appointed by the PC; and
• Representatives of appropriate stakeholders in the area
During the grievance redress meeting, the PAP or his/her advocate shall be duly represented.
The functions of the Grievance Redress Committee is to look into the case promptly; recommend
interim and long term support to affected persons; record the grievance of the PAPs; report to the
aggrieved parties about the developments regarding their grievances and the decision of the Project
authorities.
Level 3: GRC at the State Steering Committee Level:
The committee at this level shall be headed by the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Cooperative and
Rural Development while the SPC shall serve as the secretary of the committee.
55
Membership of the GRC at this level shall constitute as follows:
• The Permanent Secretary;
• Director Ministry of Land, Survey and Planning
• Director Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development
• Director Ministry of Women Affairs
• Director Ministry of Environment
• The State Project Coordinator of RAAMP
• A witnessing NGO
Level 4: Intervention by National Office
In the event that a complaint cannot be resolved at level 1,2, & 3, the National RAAMP office (FPMU)
headed by the (NCR) and supported by the National Social safeguards officer shall intervene in PAPs’
grievances.
Level 5: Reference to Court of Competent Jurisdiction
Upon exhaustion of efforts by the GRC, State and National levels, PAPs’ would be advised to seek
full legal redress in a court of competent jurisdiction. This option shall as much as possible be avoided,
and only resorted to as a last option.
11.4 Expectation when Grievance Arises Although this RAP has been carefully prepared in consultation with PAPs which is expected to
eliminate the chances of grievance occurrences, it is however not inconceivable for there to be few
cases of grievances emanating from the handling of compensation.
Expectations of PAPs in grievance is that they receive a fair hearing, and that their complaints should
receive quick response and fair judgement. Based on this expectation, the following general
expectations apply:
1. It is expected that SPIU would have set up a designated grievance redress committee that have
been trained on defined procedures to addressing grievances;
2. It is expected that aggrieved people are aware of where to lodge complaints;
3. That the secretary or chairman of the grievance redress committee or whoever receives
complaints should document and acknowledge all complaints and notify the committee early to
take necessary action on the subject matter.
4. That the right of the aggrieved party to anonymity (where applicable) should be observed.
5. That grievance matters should be resolved as early as possible in order not to dampen the
confidence of the PAP
6. It is expected that the members of the committee will be fair and upright in their judgement
7. It is expected that PAPs will be informed of their right to seek redress in the court of law and
be assisted free of charge in the process.
56
11.5 Management of Reported Grievances The procedure for managing grievances shall be as follows:
▪ The affected person files his/her grievance relating to any issue associated with the
resettlement process or compensation, in writing or telephonically, to the project
Resettlement and Compensation committee (phone numbers will be provided by the
SPIU). When received in writing, the grievance note should be signed and dated by the
aggrieved person. When received telephonically, the receiver should document all details.
▪ A selected member of the Grievance Redress Committee will act as the Project Liaison
Officer who will be the direct liaison with PAPs in collaboration with an independent
agency/person ensure to objectivity in the grievance process.
▪ Where the affected person is unable to write, the local Project Liaison Officer will write
the note on the aggrieved person’s behalf.
▪ Any informal grievances will also be documented
▪ In addition, GRM boxes will be made available by the SPIU at strategic locations for PAPs who may want to personally convey their messages to do so.

It is expected that implementation function of this RAP will rest on the SPIU, but the budget will
however be subject to the finalization of disclosure and clearance/approval by World Bank before
disbursement or implementation can commence. Since the State government will be responsible for
funding the compensation entitlement, final approval for payments above the limit of the Project
Coordinator (if applicable) must be approved by the Chief Accounting Officer of the State Ministry
of Finance (Commissioner).
The total budget of preparing and implementing this RAP for the proposed is Four Million and
Forty-Seven thousand, Two Hundred and Eighty Seven Naira(N4,047,287). A breakdown of the
budget according to components, project routes/community is shown in Table 13.2

13.3 Procedure for Delivery of Entitlements
Compensation Payment Administration
The resettlement budget detailed in this RAP and approved by the World Bank is the guiding
reference to the resettlement committee in implementing the RAP. Compensation payment
administration follows the following necessary steps:
o Approval/clearance received on RAP report (budget) from World Bank;
o Application/Memo to SPC for implementation of RAP by the Social Safeguard Officer;
o Approval of memo by SPC
o Consultation and sensitization of PAPs on resettlement by the resettlement committee;
63
o Verification and validation of claims by resettlement committee coordinated by the social
safeguard officer;
o Documentation and authentication of PAPs by the resettlement committee;
o Presentation of finalized documentation to SPC for approval of fund;
o SPCs approves and minutes to project accountant to initiate payment voucher;
o Signing of cheques by SPC and project accountant
o Handing over cheque to PAPs and witnessing ceremony by NGOs and relevant
stakeholders
How PAPs will be identified for Compensation Eligible PAPs are those whose names, Phone numbers and photographs appear in the PAPs register
documented in the RAP report. Therefore, during the implementation of compensation, PAPs shall
be recognized through one or both of the following:
1) Photograph in the PAP register;
2) Certificate of entitlement issued to PAP (containing description of affected items, name of
PAP and phone number)
13.4 RAP Compensation Process The compensation process will involve several steps in accordance with this resettlement and
compensation plan and shall include the following:
• Public participation: Public participation with the PAPs has been part of the RAP process and
would continue even at the RAP implementation phase. PAPs would be contacted, consulted
on alternatives and modalities for compensation. During this meeting, eligible PAPs will be
issued clearance certificate for entitlement by the resettlement committee.
• The resettlement committee will ensure that all PAPs are contacted/consulted,
• Non-Bank Account holders shall be assisted to open bank accounts. This is necessary for three
reasons:
- Operating a bank account will be a plausible option to manage PAPs income restoration
program. In the case of in-kind assistances such as re-planting of affected economic trees,
erecting new structure and/or paying for rent, PAPs will have access to information
regarding how much money was provided in the budget for the compensation/assistance,
and Notification - Dates of various activities for the resettlement program will be
communicated to PAPs at early for inclusive participation.
-
Resettlement Implementation Linkage to Civil Works
Before any civil work commences, PAPs must have received full compensation/resettled in
accordance with the entitlement matrix/budget plan established in this RAP. Only after PAPs are
paid their compensation amount and resettlement assistance, civil works activities will commence.
64
Third Party Monitoring
It is recommended that Abia RAAMP SPIU should involve a third party (a witness NGO) to witness
and independently monitor the entire resettlement compensation process. Budget for the witness
NGO is contained under the cost component on Implementation, Monitoring and Administrative
Cost. Other members of the resettlement committee shall include representative of PAPs (female
representative is required), traditional ruler or his cabinet secretary, 2 personnel from RAAMP SPIU
which shall include the Environmental and Social Safeguard officers.
Training and Sensitization It is recommended that capacity building and sensitization be provided locally to the SPIU staff,
resettlement committee at the site level and Grievance Committee, PAPs and identified vulnerable
groups. Participants will be made up of 3 persons from SPIU, 5 from resettlement committee and 7
from grievance redress committee. The training will include a two-day programme which will focus
on raising their capacity of participants to carry out implementation effectively. Budget for the training
is N600,000 to be funded by the SPIU.
65
CHAPTER FOURTEEN:
ARRANGEMENTS FOR MONITORING AND IMPLEMENTATION
14.1 Impact Monitoring and Evaluation Implementation of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) will be regularly supervised and monitored
by the Social Safeguard Officer in coordination with M&E Officer of the SPIU. The findings will be
recorded in quarterly reports to be furnished to the FPMU and the World Bank. The monitoring
framework for this RAP is as presented below:
Table 14.1: Resettlement and Compensation Performance Measurements Indicators

Pre-project income of vulnerable individuals
identified versus present income of
vulnerable groups.
Higher income of vulnerable individuals
indicates efficient project performance.
14.2 Monitoring Tasks of the Social Safeguard Officer
• Verifies that the baseline information of all PAPs have been carried out and that the valuation
of assets lost or damaged, and the provision of compensation, resettlement and other
rehabilitation entitlements has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of this
policy framework and the respective inventory in this RAP.
• Oversee that the RAP is implemented as designed and approved.
• Verify that funds for implementing the RAP is provided to the respective local level
(community) in a timely manner in amounts sufficient for their purposes and that the funds
are used in accordance with the provisions of the RAP.
66
• Ensure the identification and signature/thumb print of PAPs before and during receipt of
compensation entitlements.
• Record all grievances that comes to the SPIU and their resolution, ensuring that complaints
are dealt with in a timely manner.
14.3 Independent Monitoring An independent agency will be retained by the SPIU subject to approval by the World Bank to
periodically carry out external monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the RAP. The
independent agency will be either an academic or research institutions, non-governmental
organizations (NGO) or an independent consulting firm. They should have qualified and experienced
staff and their terms of reference acceptable to the World Bank.
In addition to verifying the information furnished in the internal supervision and monitoring reports,
the independent monitoring agency will visit a sample size of 10% of the Project affected Population
in each relevant district/road route, six months after the RAP has been implemented to:
• determine whether the procedures for PAPs participation and delivery of compensation and other
rehabilitation entitlements have been done in accordance with the RAP,
• assess if the RAP objective or enhancement or at least restoration of living standards and income
levels of PAPs have been met,
• gather qualitative indications of the social and economic impact of project implementation on the
PAPs, and
• suggest modification in the implementation procedures of the RAP, as the case may be, to achieve
the principles and objectives of this RAP.
The terms of reference for this task and selection of qualified agency will be prepared by the SPIU in
collaboration with the FPMU and the World Bank at the beginning of project implementation stage.
Some of the indicators that will be monitored by the independent monitoring consultant are presented
in Table 14.2.
