He further stated that even with current scale-up being done by the government and its partners, Nigeria was still far away from what it needed to achieve functional rural roads.
“Even with the current scale-up, we are not going to near what Nigeria needs to achieve functional rural roads,” Chaudhuri stated. He added, “We have about 200,000km of rural roads all over Nigeria, of which 87 per cent are in bad condition. That means only about 40,000km are usable. So, if you think about tackling that problem at scale, it brings it to the issue of fiscal affordability.”
Chaudhuri further said that there should be sustainable institutional structures to ensure that roads were maintained, urging the government to pay attention to road maintenance across the country. “We have said that before we disburse the funds for RAAMP, we will ask states to put institutional structures to have maintenance agencies and to clarify how this will be sustained,” the bank’s director in Nigeria, stated.
