Tenders are invited for Consultancy Services for the Preparation of a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and a Transport Master Plan (TRMP) for the Abia State Integrated Infrastructure Development Project (ABSIIDP) Date Added: June 16, 2026 Deadline: 14/07/2026 Category: Consultancy A. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The Abia State Government has received financing from the African Development Bank (AfDB) towards the cost of the Abia State Integrated Infrastructure Development Project (ABSIIDP), and intends to apply part of the proceeds for Consultancy Services for the Preparation of a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and a Transport Master Plan (TrMP) for Abia State. Abia State, located in the South-East geopolitical zone of Nigeria, has an estimated resident population of over 3.2 million, with an additional daily influx of approximately 300,000 people for commerce. The states major urban centres Aba (a key commercial and industrial hub) and Umuahia (the administrative capital) face severe traffic congestion, rising road traffic accidents, inadequate public transport systems, poor integration of non-motorized transport (NMT), and significant freight logistics challenges resulting from rapid urbanization and rising vehicle ownership. ABSIIDP, supported by the AfDB, aims to rehabilitate approximately 248 km of urban roads (58 km in Umuahia and 190 km in Aba to asphaltic concrete standards), improve storm water drainage, control erosion, and enhance related infrastructure. However, infrastructure improvements alone cannot resolve deep-seated mobility challenges without complementary soft measures and strategic long-term planning. The TMP will address immediate and medium-term operational issues, while the TrMP will provide a 20-25 year strategic framework for sustainable multimodal transport development. The Project Implementation Unit (PIU), through the Abia State Ministry of Works, now invites eligible consulting firms to indicate their interest in providing these Services.. B.
