Highway Development Management Initiative (HDMI): All You Need To Know
HDMI is an effort of the FG to mobilize private capacity, resources, and entrepreneurship into the Nigerian highway sector; and convert roads from just social assets into assets of commercial opportunities.
HDMI is made up of 2 categories namely the Value-added Concessions (VAC) and the Unbundled Assets Approvals (UAA):
UAA provides opportunity for small businesses to take advantage of the commercial opportunities that are available along...
... the Right-Of-Way;
Under the VAC the road pavement and entire right of way is concessioned for development and management by the concessionaire. #GovtAtWorkNG

“From statewide statistics on affairs in the 27 LGAs since 2011, the fact is that despite recent happenings, the security situation in Borno State &, indeed, that of the entire North East sub-region is still far better under Buhari, & this is based on records.”— @GovBorno #Thread
“For instance, unlike the years before Buhari when a number of LGAs were no-go-areas, we now have indigenes safely back to Gwoza, Askira-Uba, Dikwa, Ngala, Monguno, Kukawa, Damboa, Konduga, Mafa... which no one could have visited not to talk of living there.” — @GovBorno
“Our Emirs were all in exile. Today, Bama is coming back to life and so is Askira-Uba, Damboa, Gwoza and others. Life is even returning to Baga. This was impossible before Buhari. In fact, it was not possible to move few kilometers out of Maiduguri.” — @GovBorno
The 5,000 BPD Refinery being commissioned today by Pres. Buhari will produce 271m liters of petroleum product annually. Since it commenced evacuation of products in Nov 2020, it has already delivered 5 million litres of product into the Nigerian market, according to the company.
The next phase of this Project will be a 45,000 BPD Refinery, with a completion timeline of 24-30months. When completed, the Refinery will utilize 16 million barrels of crude oil annually, according to @wabote_simbi, Executive Secretary of @OfficialNCDMB
