Laws of Nigeria and the World Bank’s safeguard policies, an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) had been prepared for Niger State under (RAMPII) in consonance with the requirement of National requirements of Nigeria for EIA studies. The objective of ESIA is to assess the anticipated environmental and social impacts / Benefits during design, construction and operational phases of the project roads under RAMPII in Niger State. Mitigation measures and management plan shall be evolved as per the identified environmental / social impacts and benefits.

The proposed right of way (Row) is put at 9.0metres in width in the country and 6.0m within the villages. Efforts will be gain towards identification of physical sociological and social protected areas in order not to tamper with it. The project map is presented in fig. 2.1. 3.3 Objectives and scope of the ESIA study The objective of ESIA report is to identify the potential environmental and social impacts of the proposed project, measures and formulate strategies to the negative impacts and enhance the positive impacts. The scope of work to accomplish the above objective, comprise the following. Understanding baseline environmental conditions in the study area. Identification of the potential environmental impact due to proposed project activity; Recommending appropriate mitigation measures to avoid/minimize the negative environment and social impacts; Assessment of possible environmental and social benefits from the project; Preparation of a management plan and administrative framework to minimize the negative impacts; and, Preparation of a monitoring and evaluation (M & E) program to monitor the negative and positive impact on the baseline Environment condition as well as on the overall socio-economic structures of the project study area during construction and operational phase of the project. 3.4 Reporting The for preparation of the ESIA report includes screening, impact assessment and management plans towards minimizing the possible environmental and social impacts for the entire project road as required. The ESIA report also includes development of a comprehensive environmental and social management plan and administrative frame work. The current screening exercise determines the extent of the baseline requirement, while the draft final will give details of necessary in-depth baseline study, additional public consultation and feedback. locations of these Roads are marked out in the Location Map below.2.
