The development objective of the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project for Nigeria are to improve transport conditions and sustain access to the rural population; enhance agricultural marketing potentials through rehabilitating, installation and maintenance of key rural infrastructure in selected Nigerian states. Some of the negative impacts are include: (i) Damage or destroy sensitive terrestrial ecosystems(trees being removed &disturbance to wildlife); (ii) produce areas of bare soil which cause erosion, siltation, changes in natural water flow,and/or damage to aquatic ecosystems; (iii) damage or destroy sensitive terrestrial ecosystems; (iv) damage to local habitat, compact soil, leading to erosion; (v) effects on paleontological,archaeological, historic, religious, or cultural sites; (vi) poor construction and rehabilitation works with attendant consequences on the environment; (vii) cause erosion, siltation, changes innatural water flow, and damage to aquatic ecosystems when excavated soil is piled inappropriately; (viii) degrade water quality; (ix) increased risk to road accident; (x) contaminatesurface water and spread disease via solid waste and faces generated by camp Spread communicable diseases including malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS via construction crew who come from outside the region; Some of the mitigation measures are include: (i) incorporation of environmental concerns in project preparation to avoid impacts in construction and operation stages; (ii) Chose or develop design standards for each facet of construction and related activities—road bed, road surface, drainage, erosion control, re-vegetation, stream crossing, sensitive areas, steepslopes, material extraction, transport and storage, construction camps,decommissioning; (iii) identify sites for temporary and permanent storage of excavated material and construction materials; (iv) install drainage ditches or berms on uphill slopes to divert water away from roads and into streams; (v) realign road sections to meander; curving roads deter speeding; (vi) provide plans to identify, protect, and use sensitive habitats; (vii) remove surface andloosen soil of previous track to accelerate regeneration of vegetation; (viii) Water the roadimmediately before compacting to strengthen the road surface, otherwise traffic will soon beat back the road surface to pre-bladed condition; (ix) take safety precautions to protect being injured by flying or falling rock; (x) ensure adequate and prompt compensation, rehabilitation or relocation of all project affected persons.
