InfraPITCH: Lome-Lagos Corridor Highway Project

Executive Summary

Case Study 

The Lome-Lagos Corridor Highway (LLCH) Project

Project Overview

This is a road infrastructure project targeting the chronic logistics and transportation challenge along West Africa’s coastal economic corridor. The project proposed developing Lot 3 of the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway – a 344-kilometre, six-lane dual carriageway spanning Nigeria, Benin, and Togo – which accounts for approximately 33% of total traffic in the wider corridor. The project would be implemented as a public-private partnership, aligned with the ECOWAS Regional Trade Policy. The capital structure comprised 5% seed equity, 25% core equity, 10% mezzanine financing, and 60% senior debt, totalling a project cost of $3.36 billion. The group was seeking $5 million in seed equity to commission technical feasibility and traffic demand studies.
