EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ES1: Background
The inclusion of Imo State in the Rural Access and Mobility Project (RAMP II) necessitated the
review of the previous Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) and
Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) reports which were prepared and disclosed in May 2008 for
Osun and Enugu States and in May 2012 for Adamawa and Enugu States.

CHAPTER TWO
POLICY, LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
2.0 Introduction
This chapter describes the existing environmental national and international policies,
legislations, conventions and procedures and those of the World Bank Group that are
applicable to the RAMP II project2.1 Institutional Arrangement for ESMF in Nigeria
The erstwhile Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA), now absorbed into the
Federal Ministry of Environment (FMEnv) was established by Act No. 58 of 1988 and
further amended by Act 59 of 1992. By this Act, the FMEnv is vested with the responsibility
of ensuring compliance to the prescribed limits as contained in the National Guidelines.
Thus, the FMEnv (apex regulatory body) together with the States ministries of environment
are responsible for environmental protection matters in Nigeria.
Aside the national milestone, the country (Nigeria) is equally a signatory to several
international Conventions, Treaties and Laws relating to environmental protection and
sustainable development. Some of these include the Bassel Convention, International
Convention on the Protection of Endangered Species, World Summit on Sustainable
Development (WSSD) etc.
Also, several international development partners/agencies such as World Bank and other
international financial institutions interested in development projects have sets of
environmental categorizations, assessments and management standards, which must be
complied with by project proponents before these institutions invest in them.
The summary of the national and international statutory environmental laws are
presented in the below table.

21. National Policy on the Environment 1989 The policy identifies key sectors requiring integration of
environmental concerns and sustainability with development and
presents their specific guidelines
22. National Guidelines and Standards for 1999 It deals with the quality of water to be discharged into the
Water Quality environment, sets standards and discharge measures for a wide
range of parameters in water discharged from various industries.
23. National Air Quality Standard Decree 1991 The World Health Organization (WHO) air quality standards were
No. 59 adopted as the national standards. These standards define the
permissible air pollutants parameters in order to protect public
health.
24. National Environmental Standards and 2007 Established to ensure compliance with environmental standards,
Regulations Enforcement Agency guidelines and regulations.
(NESREA Act)
25. National Policy on Flood and Erosion 2006 Addresses the need to combat erosion in the country by utilizing the
Control procedures outlined in the national action plan for flood and erosion
control and technical guidelines.
26. National Oil Spill Detection and 2005 This statutory regulation makes adequate regulations on waste
Response Agency (NOSDRA Act) emanating from oil production and exploration and its potential
consequences to the environment.
27. Nigeria’s Cultural Policy Act 1996 The described the procedures for the protection and promotion of
national identity as well as Nigeria’s unity. It also ensures effective
communication and cooperation among the diverse socio-cultural
groups of Nigeria and Africa in general.

Box 2.2: Summary of EA Procedures (Nigeria vs WB)
With regard to environmental assessment, the Bank has also categorized projects based on
the type of EA required, namely:
Category A - projects are those whose impacts are sensitive, diverse, unprecedented,
felt beyond the immediate project environment and are potentially irreversible over
the long term. Such projects require full EA.
Category B - projects involve site specific and immediate project environment
interactions, do not significantly affect human populations, do not significantly alter
natural systems and resources, do not consume much natural resources (e.g.,
ground water) and have adverse impacts that are not sensitive, diverse,
unprecedented and are mostly reversible. Category B projects will require partial
EA, and environmental and social action plans.

CHAPTER FIVE
FRAMEWORK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
(F-ESMP)
5.0 Introduction
The chapter describes the framework for the Environmental and Social Management Plan
(F-ESMP).
5.1 Environmental and Social Screening Process
The objective of screening is for the identification of those sub-projects activities that have
minimal/no environmental or social concerns.
5.2 The Screening Criteria
The screening exercise will be carried out prior to the initiation of the project preparation
activities. The screening exercise will serve as a tool for the identification of the severity of
impacts of both the environmental and social issues thereby integrating the corresponding
mitigation measures into the project preparation. The project’s impacts will be screened
using a modified Leopold matrix (Leopold, 1971) as presented in Appendix 3.
The diagrammatic representation of steps in environmental and social screening processes
is presented in figure 5.1.

Appendix 1
Summary of World Bank Environmental and Social Safeguard Policies (10+2)
Use of Country Systems (OP 4.00). The Bank's environmental and social ("safeguard") policies are designed
to avoid, mitigate, or minimize adverse environmental and social impacts of projects supported by the Bank.
The Bank encourages its borrowing member countries to adopt and implement systems that meet these
objectives while ensuring that development resources are used transparently and efficiently to achieve
desired outcomes. To encourage the development and effective application of such systems and thereby
focus on building borrower capacity beyond individual project settings, the Bank is piloting the use of
borrower systems in Bank-supported projects. The key objective of the pilot program is to improve overall
understanding of implementation issues related to greater use of country systems. To be used where, in the
Bank’s judgment, the country’s system would materially satisfy the objectives and operational principles of
the applicable Bank policies. Using country systems enhances country ownership and thus the sustainability
of development programs. In addition, using country systems can lower transaction costs and increase aid
effectiveness by providing a natural focal point for Supporter efforts to harmonize their processes.
Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01). Outlines Bank policy and procedure for the environmental assessment
of Bank lending operations. The Bank undertakes environmental screening of each proposed project to
determine the appropriate extent and type of EA process. This environmental process will apply to all sub-
projects to be funded by RAMP.
Natural Habitats (OP 4.04). The conservation of natural habitats, like other measures that protect and
enhance the environment, is essential for long-term sustainable development. The Bank does not support
projects involving the significant conversion of natural habitats unless there are no feasible alternatives for
the project and its siting, and comprehensive analysis demonstrates that overall benefits from the project
substantially outweigh the environmental costs. If the environmental assessment indicates that a project
would significantly convert or degrade natural habitats, the project includes mitigation measures acceptable
to the Bank. Such mitigation measures include, as appropriate, minimizing habitat loss (e.g. strategic habitat
retention and post-development restoration) and establishing and maintaining an ecologically similar
protected area. The Bank accepts other forms of mitigation measures only when they are technically justified.
Should the sub-project-specific ESMPs indicate that natural habitats might be affected negatively by the
proposed sub-project activities with suitable mitigation measures, such sub-projects will not be funded under
the RAMP .
Pest Management (OP 4.09). The policy supports safe, affective, and environmentally sound pest
management. It promotes the use of biological and environmental control methods. An assessment is made
of the capacity of the country’s regulatory framework and institutions to promote and support safe, effective,
and environmentally sound pest management. This policy will most likely not apply to RAMP
Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12). This policy covers direct economic and social impacts that both result
from Bank-assisted investment projects, and are caused by (a) the involuntary taking of land 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 access to legally designated parks and protected areas resulting in adverse impacts on the
livelihoods of the displaced persons. The ESMF and RPF reports discuss the applicability of this policy in
detail.
Indigenous Peoples (OD 4.20). This directive provides guidance to ensure that indigenous peoples benefit
from development projects, and to avoid or mitigate adverse effects of Bank-financed development projects
on indigenous peoples. Measures to address issues pertaining to indigenous peoples must be based on the
informed participation of the indigenous people themselves. Sub-projects that would have negative impacts
on indigenous people will not be funded under RAMP.
Forests (OP 4.36). This policy applies to the following types of Bank-financed investment projects: (a)
projects that have or may have impacts on the health and quality of forests; (b) projects that affect the rights
and welfare of people and their level of dependence upon or interaction with forests; and (c) projects that
aim to bring about changes in the management, protection, or utilization of natural forests or plantations,
62
Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) for RAMP II States (Adamawa, Enugu, Niger, Osun and Imo)
whether they are publicly, privately, or communally owned. The Bank does not finance projects that, in its
opinion, would involve significant conversion or degradation of critical forest areas or related critical
habitats. If a project involves the significant conversion or degradation of natural forests or related natural
habitats that the Bank determines are not critical, and the Bank determines that there are no feasible
alternatives to the project and its sitting, and comprehensive analysis demonstrates that overall benefits from
the project substantially outweigh the environmental costs, the Bank may finance the project provided that it
incorporates appropriate mitigation measures. Sub-projects that are likely to have negative impacts on
forests will not be funded under RAMP.
Physical Cultural Properties (OP 4.11). Assist in preserving physical cultural resources and avoiding their
destruction or damage. PCR includes resources of archaeological, paleontological, historical, architectural,
religious (including graveyards and burial sites), aesthetic, or other cultural significance. This policy
addresses physical cultural resources, 1 which are defined as movable or immovable objects, sites, structures,
groups of structures, and natural features and landscapes that have archaeological, paleontological,
historical, architectural, religious, aesthetic, or other cultural significance. Physical cultural resources may be
located in urban or rural settings, and may be above or below ground, or under water. Their cultural interest
may be at the local, provincial or national level, or within the international community. Physical cultural
resources are important as sources of valuable scientific and historical information, as assets for economic
and social development, and as integral parts of a people’s cultural identity and practices. It is Implemented
as an element of the Environmental Assessment. RAMP will not fund sub-projects that will have negative
impacts on cultural property.
Safety of Dams (OP 4.37). For the life of any dam, the owner is responsible for ensuring that appropriate
measures are taken and sufficient resources provided for the safety to the dam, irrespective of its funding
sources or construction status. The Bank distinguishes between small and large dams. Small dams are
normally less than 15 m in height; this category includes, for example, farm ponds, local silt retention dams,
and low embankment tanks. For small dams, generic dam safety measures designed by qualified engineers
are usually adequate. This policy does apply to RAMP 1 since the policy is not triggered under the project.
Projects on International Waterways (O 7.50). The Bank recognizes that the cooperation and good will of
riparian’s is essential for the efficient utilization and protection of international waterways and attaches great
importance to riparian’s making appropriate agreements or arrangement for the entire waterway or any part
thereof. Projects that trigger this policy include hydroelectric, irrigation, flood control, navigation, drainage,
water and sewerage, industrial, and similar projects that involve the use or potential pollution of
international waterways. This policy will not apply to RAMP.
Disputed Areas (OP/BP/GP 7.60). Project in disputed areas may occur the Bank and its member countries as
well as between the borrower and one or more neighbouring countries. Any dispute over an area in which a
proposed project is located requires formal procedures at the earliest possible stage. The Bank attempts to
acquire assurance that it may proceed with a project in a disputed area if the governments concerned agree
that, pending the settlement of the dispute, the project proposed can go forward without prejudice to the
claims of the country having a dispute. This policy is not expected to be triggered by sub-projects. This policy
is unlikely to be triggered by sub-projects to be funded by RAMP.
Disclosure Policy (OP 17.50).Supports decision making by the Borrower and Bank by allowing the public
access to information on environmental and social aspects of projects. Mandated by six safeguard policies
that have specific requirements for disclosure in country (Before project appraisal in local language and in
English) and World Bank InfoShop (Before project appraisal in English). Documents can be in draft but must
meet WB standards).

Minutes of Stakeholders’ Meeting Held with the Imo Rural Access and Mobility Project 2
(Imo RAMP 2), on Friday 9th of September, 2016.
Venue: Imo RAMP II Project Office, Owerri, Imo State.
1. ATTENDANCE
List attached (as below)
2. INTRODUCTION
The stakeholders meeting was anchored by Engr. John Uzor (State Project Coordinator of RAMP 2)
began precisely at 10.45am with the opening prayer by Hon. Ojiaka Obinna – the Transition
Chairman of Ikeduru Local Government Area.
The various participants were given the opportunity for self-introduction while Engr. Uzor
introduced to the house the essence of the meeting and also the consultant for the assignment.
He stated that the consultant was sent by the FPMU to review and update the Environmental and
Social Management Framework (ESMF) and the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) of the RAMP 2
to include Imo State (new state) preparatory to the effective take-off of the project in the State.
The State Project Coordinator (Engr. Uzor) also appreciated all the stakeholders for honouring the
invitation inspite of the short notice particularly all the Transition Chairmen (TCs) of Local
Governments. He equally appreciated all the MDAs including federal agencies (NESREA) and the
staff of the SPIU for their commitment and cooperation which is very germane to fostering good
relationship during implementation of the RAMP 2 project in Imo State.
He also explained to the participants the current state of the RAMP 2 with respect to Imo State and
the intention of the RAMP 2 projects toward the construction of selected and prioritized 401.1km of
rural roads across the State in order to enhance rural transportation, improve transportation of farm
produce and also access to social infrastructure amongst other benefits.
It was generally agreed that since the majority of the rural people of Imo State are predominantly
farmers, the various sub-project activities of the RAMP 2 would tremendously improve livelihood,
easy transportation of agricultural produce and more importantly eradicate poverty in the rural
communities across the State (Imo).
Therefore, the issues of ESMF and RPF were enumerated with its advantages to solve both possible
environmental and social concerns as a result of the RAMP 2 projects implementation.
Federal Project Management Unit (FPMU), Rural Access & Mobility Project (RAMP), September, 2016
Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) for RAMP II States (Adamawa, Enugu, Niger, Osun and Imo)
Government) spoke about the issue of compensation for the PAPs while the State Coordinator also
took time to assure of the adequacy of the State to fully compensate any PAP.
Also, Mr. Ojinaka Obinna a Director of Planning in the Supervising Ministry-Ministry of Local
Government enumerated the environmental and social consequences of affected trees while Engr.
Bassel Nwogwugwu mentioned the issue of compensation for PAPs whose structures would be
affected as a result of the project activities. They were both assured of the strict adherence to global
best practice and smooth compensation.
In the areas of public enlightenment, Mr. Cliffors Orji, the Transitional Chairman of Nwangele Local
Government requested its fellow Local Government Chairmen to ensure adequate sensitization to
ensure cooperation by project communities while soliciting for proper assessment and adherence to
engineering design for the project.
The NESREA Representative, Mr. Stanley Onwuizor raised the possibility of erosion due to the
nature of the soil during project activities and the need to inculcate discharge pits to collect run-offs in
communities that does not have storm water collection infrastructure.
The Transitional Chairman of Ikeduru Local Government, Engr. Obinna Nshirim equally advocated
for the inclusion of local contractors and youths during project implementation, the SPIU
Coordinator, Engr. Uzor however promised to looked into the matter with the assurance that the
quality of the project would never be compromised.
5. CONCLUSION
Engr. Orji of Nwangele Local Government Area expressed his profound appreciation for the
inclusion of the State in RAMP 2 and also pledged the commitment of the Local Government
Chairmen toward ensuring the success of the project in the State. He equally, appreciated the
Consultant for the enlightenment while thanking other agencies such as NESREA, NEWSMAP (Imo
State) for their support and assured the SPIU Coordinator of the continuous support of all the Local
Government Areas and other agencies toward ensuring the successfulness of the project across the
State.
6. CLOSING REMARKS
The State Project Coordinator- Engr. Uzor appreciated the participants for honoring his
invitation and their active participation and also the Consultants for taking the pains to explain the
essence of the assignment.
He stated that the project was still in the preparation stage and there would still be need to call people
for meetings as occasion demands.
7. CLOSING
The meeting ended at around 1.25pm after the closing prayer.
