The Federal Republic of Nigeria has applied for financing from the Agence Française de Développement ("AFD") in the form of a loan towards the cost of the proposed Kaduna Bus Rapid Transit Project. This project consists of a 24km BRT corridor from Kawo to Sabon Tasha in Kaduna city and will deliver a sustainable public transport system by focusing on accessibility and mobility of people.
It aims at providing a holistic solution for integrated urban mobility and bearing a demonstrative value as the first BRT line in Kaduna. The 24km BRT infrastructure will comprise 30 universally accessible stations through secure pedestrian crossings, an integral clean ground site, public lighting, widening of the bridge over the Kaduna River, a high-capacity drainage system along the corridor, park and ride facilities, control room and a bus depot and terminals at both ends of the corridor.
The Kaduna State Transport Regulatory Authority (KADSTRA), the Implementing Agency of the Project, is requesting the services of internationally qualified and experienced consultants having requisite skills and experience to assist them in three areas:
- Sustainable Urban Mobility Study (SUMP) of the City of Kaduna, Nigeria
- Detailed Engineering Design, Procurement and Construction Supervision (EPCS)
- Project Management and Operational Design (PMOD)
