The Federal Ministry of Works and Housing in Nigeria has launched a request for qualification (RFQ) for phase 1 of Value-added concession (VAC) under the Highway Development and Management Initiative (HDMI). Phase 1 of VAC seeks private sector companies/consortiums for rehabilitation, development, management, and maintenance of 12 economically viable road corridors. The 12 highways represent a 1,963 km road network.
These road corridors with given lengths are :

- Abuja-Lokoja, 193 km
- Kano- Katsina, 150 km
- Onitsha- Aba-Owerri, 161 km

The scope of work on the 12 routes is expected to involve a sustainable rehabilitation and reconstruction of the route in line with international best practice, to promote revenue generation for the government and concessionaires, while also improving
the overall quality of the road and in turn, economic development.
