FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES 1: Background The Federal Government of Nigeria has embarked on an economic diversification campaign with the aim of leveraging on the nation’s vast natural resources to diversify the economy from the oil and gas sector to achieve economic emancipation. The mining sector’s growth and contributions to GDP have remained less than ideal, accounting for only about 0.33% in 2015(Source: MinDiver Project Appraisal Document). To address this, the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD) recently developed a roadmap for mining growth and development with objectives to deepen sector reforms, attract new investors and collaborate with a wide network of partners and stakeholders to rejuvenate the sector and build a prosperous economy propelled by inflows from the solid minerals sector. Further to these developments, the Federal Government of Nigeria obtained a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) to fund the Mineral Sector Support for Economic Diversification (MinDiver) Project. The project has the following development objectives: a) To improve the attractiveness of the Nigerian Mining sector, as a driver for economic diversification, for long-term private sector investment in the exploration and production of minerals, b) To create a globally competitive sector capable of contributing to wealth creation, providing jobs and advancing our social and human security. Consequent to the need to upgrade critical infrastructures in the mining sector, and scope of activities, an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is the appropriate safeguards instrument for the Ladi Kwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos & NMDC Jos. ES 2: Project Selection and Location The MinDiver Project has proposed to apply some of its credit received from the IDA for the construction, renovation and rehabilitation of existing priority infrastructures at the following centres: • Nigerian Institute for Mining and Geosciences (NIMG), Jos, Plateau State. Which includes: (i) NIMG Old (Tudun Wada Campus) (ii)Permanent Site, and (iii) Mining Community Resource Centre (MCRC) • National Metallurgical Development Center (NMDC), Jos, Plateau State; • National Geosciences Research Laboratories (NGRL) and the Geophysics Lab (NGSA Kaduna); • National Steel Raw Material Exploration Agency (NSRMEA) in Kaduna, Kaduna State; • Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre, Suleja, Niger State. ES 3: Proposed Intervention Works The proposed activities for the pre-construction, construction and operation phases include: • Building demolition and alteration • Roof repairs and new installations • Internal & external works (door fixing, wood works) • Fixing and installations of doors & windows • Fixtures and fittings installations • Wall finishing and painting • Asbestos ceiling removal and replacement with safer alternatives (polyvinyl chloride etc) including finishing • Floor finishing • Electrical services • Plumbing and mechanical services • Installation of a Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in NMDC, Jos • Fencing works at NGRL and Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre 11 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT ES 4: Description of the Projects’ Environment and Social Baseline The intervention facilities in Jos include a) NIMG: The NIMG consists of i) NIMG Tudun-Wada Campus (Old Site), ii) NIMG Permanent Site, iii) MCRC; and b) NMDC NIMG Tudun-Wada Campus (Old Site) – The site is located at No 1. Metropolitan Avenue, a street leading to the Metropolitan Avenue residential area in Tudun Wada District of Jos town. It is a fenced-premises with two gates. The main gate leads into the premises; a first right-turn leads to the administrative block where the office of the Director General of the institute is located. On entry from the main gate, a straight three (3) minutes’ drive leads to other structures located towards the end of the facility. The second gate, which is also termed “old gate�, is no longer in use. In the past, it was an entry point to the institute’s guest lodge. The Tudun Wada semi-rural community, Tudun Wada (T/W) LEA Primary School, few residential homes and two (2) restaurants, directly borders the NIMG old site. NIMG (Permanent Site) – The site is a completely fenced area located far off the Jos metropolis and is about 1.04km from the Jos, Wildlife Park. Located behind the site is “Dong community�, a sub-urban community with numerous residential buildings, four (4) of which are directly behind the fence which separates them from the cafeteria situated in the site. The front-end of the site, is bordered by a vast forest area and a major highway (Miango Highway) leading to the Plateau State Polytechnic guest house and “Miango�, a settlement further down the highway, about 3km from the site. MCRC – The MCRC is part of the NIMG. It was built in 1952, during the British colonial area. The facility is located along Kashim Ibrahim Street in the West of Mines area of Jos, which is renowned for its evening sit-out areas where customers from the city come to buy chicken, fish and chips; a popular meal in Jos. The major features within the site are the mineral processing laboratory, mill, gate house and mineral and mining museum. NMDC – The site is located along the Zaria Road, which is a major highway for commuting to Zaria Town, in Kaduna State. It is slightly located off major business and socio-economic sensitive areas, with a few adjacently sited businesses, which are about a minute’s-walk from its second gate (which is currently not in use) and 3-4 minutes from the entrance gate. The most proximal social features to the project facility include Unity Bank, a plaza with mini-shops/stores and vehicle spare part shops. On the opposite side of the facility is the notable, Jos Stadium. The project facilities in Kaduna include a) NGRL/NGSA Lab and b) NSRMEA NGRL – The main site is located along the Aliyu Makama Road, in Barnawa area of Kaduna City. It also has other annexes (geophysics section). Barnawa is an urban district in Kaduna North Local Government Area. Around the project area are located numerous residential areas, and petty businesses. The perimeter fence of the facility is not complete at some sections; this poses a security risk and has informed the need for the intervention works to include fencing works. Geophysics Lab (NGSA Kaduna) This is part of the NGRL and is located in the main site. The laboratory is used mainly for advanced level geophysical analyses and as a training centre for undergraduate and postgraduate studies. NSRMEA – The National Steel Raw Materials Exploration Agency is located specifically at No 18 Raba Road in Ungwan Bado, an area in Malali District, Kaduna City. The Kaduna River to the west, Malali Housing estate, Federal Government College, Divisional Police Station, Kaduna State water board and Malali daily market, adjourns the site. The building complex is sited on a 31.005 Hectares (76.614 acres) land. The Agency is saddled with the primary responsibility of sourcing minerals for the steel industry. It also generates reliable databank for the solid mineral sector and proffers detailed Geo-Mechanical solutions for earth materials, to enhance safe and economic exploitations. The major departments include: Coal & Industrial Minerals, Engineering Services, Financial & Human Resource Department, Geological Services Department, Iron & Ferro - Alloys Department. 12 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT The project facility in Suleja proposed for intervention works is Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre Pottery Centre – The centre is located along the Suleja-Minna Road in Kwamba, a small community in Suleja Town. The centre was renowned for its vast production of pottery, earthenware and ceramics in past years and a major tourist point for foreigners and locals interested in understudying the local art of pottery in North-Central Nigeria. It has been non-operational for over 20 years, even though administrative staff and administrative processes are still present and ongoing respectively. The current state of the Centre is in disrepair; warehouses, kilns and equipment rooms are dilapidated and non-operational, and the administrative block is in need of a total rehabilitation. Over the past 20 years or more, a section of the pottery centre which was not fenced during the initial construction has since become an “earth-road or street� which serves as a major route for over 8 churches and a main access to the Kantoma River located alongside the Ladi Kwali Pottery Center. The river serves as a resource for Okada (Motorcycle riders), and other users (majorly laundry men) who use its water for washing of their vehicles and clothes respectively. Additionally, it also serves as a recreational point for swimmers. It was observed that women don’t come to the river for the uses described above; this is mainly because of privacy, related to local, cultural and religious reasons. Opposite the Centre and across the road is the Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS) Suleja. Significantly, there exist pockets of petty traders and other livelihoods on the site. Some of these include garri (low-scale processed cassava) producers, mechanics, and shoemakers. Also adjacent to the site is a mosque, of which a small section of its “steps� is on the project site (according to the proposed engineering designs and original dimensions of the site). Other livelihood activities adjacent to the site include mechanic repairs, carpentry and petty trading. It is noteworthy to state that impacts arising from physical and economical displacement and reclamation of the access road as part of the original perimeter of the project site are addressed in a stand-alone ARAP being prepared for the sub-project. Nonetheless, for the purpose of this ESMP Report, impacts are highlighted in Chapter 4, and mitigation measures provided in Chapter 5. Environmental Baseline Studies Surface Water: From the physico-chemical analysis, all values of analyzed water samples were within the FMEnv limits (samples were collected from the Kantoma River – Suleja; Farin Gada River – Jos, and tributaries of the Kaduna River). Additionally, the heavy metal properties of surface water samples presented were within the FMEnv limits except Iron (Fe) which was found to be high in Jos, specifically at the NMDC. The most predominant bacterial organisms identified in surface water samples were coliform bacteria, specifically Enterobacter aerogenes, E. coli, Cryptosporidium and Salmonella spp. Microbial counts were lower in samples collected from groundwater, while higher in surface water in Suleja. This may be attributed to the recreational and laundry activities performed in the Kantoma River. Soil: The levels for pH, conductivity, Total Organic Matter, and organic carbon exchange were all within their respective FMEnv limits. The Heavy Metal results (mg/kg) also showed that FMEnv limits were not exceeded.

In these consultations, special care was taken to ensure the appropriate participation of women and young people within the project areas and to understand and appreciate their views. Critical stakeholders identified and consulted included: i) MinDiver PIU; ii) Management and facility representatives of selected project locations (Agencies of the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD) iii) State Waste Management Agencies, iv) Federal Road Safety Corps v) Landlords associations in Metropolitan Avenue - NIMG/Tudun-Wada, in Jos town, and vi) Other stakeholders within the boundaries of the project locations including women groups (locations for stakeholder engagement where at the sites, and offices of the respective agencies). Vulnerable Groups were identified at the level of consultations. The criteria utilized was based on establishing members of the project area of influence likely to be at the most risk of the adverse impacts of the proposed intervention works. This is with regards to: (i) easy predisposition to SH and SEA, contracting STIs and STDs or unwanted pregnancies (social vulnerability); (ii) individuals likely to suffer temporary effects of renovation of offices, laboratories and on-site accommodation facilities and may face psycho-social impacts (physical and social vulnerability); (iii) staff and visitors with physical disabilities; (iv) elderly persons (social and probably, economic vulnerability) and mechanics, and garri sellers (physical and economic vulnerability . In line with the criteria above, these include: • Teenage and Adolescent Females: These, especially from surrounding schools majorly at NIMG old site (Tudun Wada LEA Primary School) and Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre (GGSS Suleja), stand the risk of suffering SH, SEA, contracting STIs, STDs or unwanted and/or early pregnancies caused by migrant workers, especially at the pre-construction and construction phases. • Women and Children: These refer to or constitute female students, and family members who reside or offer petty trading services within project implementation sites. In the early stages of implementation and subsequently, they could be faced with the need to engage in activities such as petty trading and hawking, and may be harassed by impatient parents, partners, spouses or guardians. They may also be at risk to SH and SEA from workers or even out-patients visiting healthcare facilities. • Persons with Disabilities: Negative impacts may be associated to restriction of movement and access to work areas during construction phases especially for those living within the specific project corridors. Barricaded or waste stacked routes or work areas may restrict and impede movement of staff living with disabilities to their office blocks. • Elderly Persons: Although this group of vulnerable people were not seen during field visits, it’s imperative to put them into cognisance, as they might easily be susceptible to adverse environmental and social impacts associated with the intervention works.

FINAL REPORT CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Information The Federal Government of Nigeria has embarked on an economic diversification campaign with the aim of leveraging on the nation’s vast natural resources to diversify the economy from the oil and gas sector to achieve economic development. The mining sector’s growth and contributions to GDP have remained less than ideal, accounting for only about 0.33% in 2015 (Source: MinDiver Project Appraisal Document). To address this, the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD) recently developed a roadmap for mining growth and development with objectives to deepen sector reforms, attract new investors and collaborate with a wide network of partners and stakeholders to rejuvenate the sector and build a prosperous economy propelled by inflows from the solid minerals sector. Further to these developments, the Federal Government of Nigeria has obtained a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) to fund the Mineral Sector Support for Economic Diversification (MinDiver) Project. The project has the following development objectives: a) To improve the attractiveness of the Nigerian Mining sector, as a driver for economic diversification, for long-term private sector investment in the exploration and production of minerals, b) To create a globally competitive sector capable of contributing to wealth creation, providing jobs and advancing our social and human security. The objective of the MinDiver Project is to link with the Roadmap and enhance the mining sector’s contribut ion to the economy by strengthening key government institutions, improving information infrastructure and knowledge, and fostering domestic investment in the sector. 1.1.1 Mineral Sector Overview in Nigeria One of the key priorities of the Nigerian Government is to enhance the diversification of the economy to a broader range of productive sectors. In this context, agriculture and the mining sector have been identified, by the current Government, as potential sources of growth for the future. At the highest level, the Government efforts are focused on accelerating mining investment for resource development to meet the following objectives: (a) capture of lateral economic linkages to diversify the economy; (b) job creation including formalizing of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM); and (c) increased revenues including capture of leakages within the current system. Despite the country’s resource potential and its past experience as a significant mineral producer (contributing about 4–5% of GDP in the 1960s and1970s based on the production and export of tin, columbite, and coal), today the sector has one of the lowest outputs in the Nigerian economy. The mining sector’s contribution to GDP has steadily declined from 5.6% in 1980 to about 0.33% by 2015, which is significantly lower than other mineral rich countries in the West African Region (Source: MinDiver Project Appraisal Document). In 2015, Nigeria gained about 0.02% of its export earnings from solid minerals, compared to more than 20% in Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia and more than 50% in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Moreover, exploration expenditures in Nigeria are not commensurate with the underlying mineral endowment. 1.2 Project Facilities to Benefit from MinDiver Intervention Works In a bid to implement the road map for mining growth and development, the MinDiver Project has proposed to apply some of the credit received from the IDA for the construction, renovation and rehabilitation of existing priority infrastructures in the mining sector. Some of the facilities considered for this ESMP include: • Nigerian Institute for Mining and Geosciences (NIMG), Jos, Plateau State; • National Metallurgical Development Center (NMDC), Jos, Plateau State; and • National Geosciences Research Laboratories (NGRL) and the Geophysics Lab (NGSA Kaduna); 20 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos.

It later became a corporate body, with the mandate amongst others to carry out the exploration of steel raw materials in all parts of Nigeria and elsewhere for the iron and steel industry, and to establish and execute a steel raw materials base for the country. It is located in Ungwan Bado, Malali, which is in the sub-urban area of Kaduna North LGA. Suleja-Minna Road Kantoma River Administrative Block Figure 7: Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre Ladi Kwali Pottery Center, Suleja, Niger State – The Centre which located in Suleja LGA, is one of past glories. Named after Dr. Ladi Kwali, Nigeria’s foremost renown pottery maker, born in Kwali, in the Gwari region of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. The centre was initially established for the production of earthenware and other ceramics, and to boost Nigeria’s untapped pottery industry in the early 1950’s. However, years of neglect and insufficient funding has led the centre into a state of abandonment and non-operation. 1.3 Rationale for the Intervention Works As the Government of Nigeria plans to implement its road map for mining sector growth and development, a major input will be the rehabilitation of some of the country’s major national mining administrative, educational and laboratory services parastatals. This is in a bid to ensure that their enhanced infrastructural, human and material resource potential can affect economic diversification positively, through strengthened and improved organizational systems, technology, operations, and expertise. Some of the current structures within the premises of the project facilities (NIMG, NMDC, NGRL, NSRMEA and Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre) are dilapidated and incapable of accommodating the current and future human and material resources required to efficiently provide expected services. Some of the buildings require minor rehabilitation and renovation, while others, as in the case of the Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre, will require partial demolition and reconstruction including landscaping. The current condition of some of these structures limit their capacity to allow for significant national economic landmarks; In addition, it also makes them unfit and unsafe for work, as some buildings have deep cracks, exposed electrical wires, broken water pipes - which are soaking up and damaging the walls, and are generally, mainly fitted with asbestos ceilings which may pose undesirable exposure risks to workers, subsequently causing health problems and environmental risks as they deteriorate and weather-off. Furthermore, some critical on-site 25 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT structures such as the foundry1 and the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Building (specifically in NMDC), require a higher roofing and modified moulding pit respectively. Moreover, the ergonomic conditions in the selected structures for rehabilitation are not suitable for staff and the students who learn in some of these project facilities, in the pursuit of their post-graduate studies. To a certain extent, the intervention works will enable the Government of Nigeria, fulfill part of its obligations in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – Target 22) Furthermore the development will directly and indirectly enable enhancement of the mining sector, in the provision of world-class analytical, beneficiation and refining operations, through rehabilitation and upgrading of laboratories and provision of suitable learning environments for professionals in the fields of mining and other geosciences. As part of the intervention works, on-site healthcare facilities for staff, students and visitors will be rehabilitated and upgraded. This will be of immense benefit, specifically at the healthcare centre domiciled in the NIMG permanent site which besides servicing staff and students, also provides services for residents of Dong community - a sub-urban settlement located behind the premises of the NIMG permanent site. 1.4 Benefits of the Proposed Intervention Works Environmental Aspects • All project facilities will benefit from asbestos replacement with environmentally safer materials and subsequent treatment and final disposal of disused asbestos. • Structural rehabilitation and upgrading, thus improving building presentation and appearance. • Guaranteed structural durability as a result of demolition of buildings and structures capable of posing adverse environmental and occupational health and safety risks, and replacement of such dilapidated structures by construction of newer infrastructure with better engineering and structural integrity. • Remediation of the current erosion rills evident in project facilities such as Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre specifically. • Perimeter fencing and security strengthening of project facilities (Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre) • Modification of kiln systems, (Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre) retrofitted with gas chambers and emission control technologies, thus reducing carbon emissions and allowing for emissions within permissible environmental limits. • Vegetation clearing and improvement of the aesthetical presentation of the project facilities • Rehabilitated healthcare facilities and strengthened capacity to provide staffing healthcare services essentially, with additional proper and environmentally safe management of Healthcare Waste (HCW). Social Aspects • Strengthening Institutions- Strengthened efficiency in the institutional (administrative and technical) performance of the NIMG, MCRC, NGRL, NSRMEA and Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre in the efficient analysis, refinement and use of mineral resources and maximization of the economic potential of the services they provide. • Rehabilitation of mechanical and electrical equipment will ensure sustainability of operations that can drive economic diversification through the mining sector, in the short and long term, meeting the needs of the present and future. • Improvement of public goodwill and satisfaction towards infrastructure developmental efforts by the Government of Nigeria and the MinDiver Project. • The project will directly and indirectly encourage investments in the mining sector. 1 Foundry: A foundry is a factory that produces metal castings. Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal into a mold, and removing the mold material after the metal has solidified as it cools. The most common metals processed are aluminum and cast iron. 2SDG 8-Target 2: Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value added and labour-intensive sectors 26 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT • Directly contribute to the improvements in healthcare delivery on-site, and by extension healthcare delivery services beyond the project facilities to residents in parts of the communities where these facilities are located e.g. Tudun Wada, Dong and West of Mines in Jos, Plateau State. • Create the potential for Public Private Partnerships (PPP). • Installation of a WTP in NMDC for internal supply of potable water. Assist vulnerable groups – specifically for workers living with disabilities, as structural rehabilitation will consider modifications to enable easy access to structures (those to be rehabilitated by the project) within their work premises. It will also Impact positively on women and children who will need primary healthcare service delivery). • Reduce risks of Sexual Harrasment (SH) associated with daily and routine work within project facilities, and time-based work (for Contractors) through mapping of GBV services and linkages. • Employment generation – Increase in employment and economic activity is expected to occur during construction works. Direct and indirect employment, usually short-term, will be created due to the need to engage local unskilled labour for site clearing, excavation, loading and offloading of materials/products and delivery, etc. The construction of civil structures will also require the services of skilled labour such as masons, carpenters or welders. Other short-term job opportunities are likely to arise from the provision of security services where temporary camps or stores are erected and from opportunities to provide goods and services to the construction workers (e.g. food kiosks and other retailers). In summary, the intervention will create employment and improve the socioeconomic conditions of persons within the project areas. 1.5 Description of the Proposed Project Intervention Works The selected infrastructure in each project facility and the proposed activities are provided subsequently in Table 1 below.

Moreover, the ESMP will complement best practice strategies of the mining sector for ensuring environmental, health and social performance such as waste management, environmental management, environmental socio-responsibility and environmental economics. According to the World Bank Safeguard Policies and Guidelines, ESMPs are safeguard instruments designed to provide site-specific mitigation measures for potential adverse environmental and social impacts of mainly Category B projects, where envisaged impacts are likely to be site-specific, short- term, localized, direct and reversible. Additionally, the objective is consistent with the Terms of Reference for the ESMP attached as Annex 1 of this Report. 28 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT 1.7 Rationale for the ESMP With reference to Section 1.6 above, the project has been identified as Category B according to the World Bank Environmental Assessment (EA) screening criteria, meaning that impacts will be site specific and manageable (the activities will involve limited adverse social or environmental impacts that are few in number, generally site- specific, largely reversible, and readily addressed through mitigation measures). For site-specific projects such as this, the most suitable EA safeguard instrument is an ESMP. The proposed project comprises essentially, civil and electro-mechanical engineering works which will be carried out within the premises of the project facilities. These works will inevitably result in some environmental and social impacts thus triggering the World Bank’s Operational Policy on Environmental Assessment OP 4.01 (Summary of all triggered World Bank Environmental and Social Safeguard Policies are attaches as Annex 2). The ESMP will identify the environmental and social impacts of the proposed project and define the roles and responsibilities of all critical stakeholders throughout the project life cycle in order to ensure that mitigation measures including cost estimates are implemented and overall sustainability of the project is assured. 29 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT CHAPTER TWO LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK The Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) prepared for the Mineral Sector Support for Economic Diversification (MinDiver) Project already highlights all specific relevant policies, legal and regulatory frameworks including the administrative structures for management and implementation of the Project in Nigeria. However, some other policies and state level legal and administrative frameworks applicable to the project are highlighted in this Chapter. The key legal and regulatory framework guiding solid mineral exploitation and exploration in Nigeria include; Nigeria Minerals and Mining Act, 2007, Nigeria Minerals and Mining Regulation, 2011, National Minerals and Metal Policy,2008 while the Federal Environmental Laws, Regulations and Guidelines are applied to ensure international best practices in mining operations with due considerations on the safety and health of the environment. 2.1 Legal and Regulatory Frameworks 2.1.1 Federal Ministry of Environment Regulations and Guidelines The following are the applicable regulations, guidelines and standards of the FMEnv that affects the mining sector. • National Environmental (Noise Standards and Control) Regulations, (2009) • National Environmental (Ozone Layer Protection) Regulations, (2009) • National Environmental (Sanitation and Wastes Control) Regulations, (2009) • National Environmental (Soil Erosion and Flood Control) regulations (2011) • National Environmental (Surface water and Groundwater Quality Control) Regulations (2011) • National guidelines for EIA Act 86 of 1992: Sectoral Guideline for Mining (2013) • National Policy on the Environment, (2016) 2.1.2 Mining and Mineral Sector Regulations and Guidelines 2.1.2.1 Nigeria Minerals and Mining Act (NMMA), 2007 The Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act 2007 is the principal law governing the mining sector in Nigeria. The NMMA, 2007 repealed the Minerals and Mining Act, No. 34 of 1999. The act vests the entire property in and control of all mineral resources in the Government of the Federation for and on behalf of the Nigerian people. The Act gives superior rights to use land for mining purposes over the statutory right of occupancy or customary ownership of such land. It provides that the use of land for mining operations shall have priority over other uses of land, as it constitutes an overriding public interest within the meaning of the Land Use Act. 2.1.2.2 National Minerals and Metals Policy, 2008 The policy sets out broad economic and social objectives of government in relation to solid minerals exploration and exploitation in the country. It takes the mining sector as being critical to the realization of government’s economic policy objectives especially economic diversification, job creation and poverty reduction. The main purpose of the policy was to take full advantage of the increase in international commodity prices and the global resurgence of exploration activities. Other relevant statutes and laws related to Environmental and Social Management and Protection in Mining and Mineral resources include: • Consumer Protection Council Act 66 (1992) 30 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT • Federal Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Regulations (1991) • Harmful Waste (Special Criminal Provisions) Act (2004) • Land Use Act (1978) • National Environmental (Mining and Processing of Coal, Ores and Industrial Minerals) Regulations, (2009) • National Environmental (Noise Standards and Control) Regulations, 2003. etc. • National Environmental (Quarrying and Blasting Operations) Regulations, (2013) • National Environmental Protection (Effluent Limitation) Regulations, (1991) • National Environmental Protection (Management of Solid and Hazardous Wastes) Regulations, (1991) • National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Wastes) Regulation, (1991) • National Environmental Standards and Regulations, Enforcement Agency (NESREA) Act, (2007) • National Gender Policy (2008) • National Guidelines and Standards for Water Quality (1999) • National Guidelines on Environmental Audit in Nigeria (1999) • National Guidelines on Environmental Management Systems (EMS) (1999) • National Healthcare Waste Management Policy (2013) • National Healthcare Waste Management Guidelines (2013) • Nigeria Labour Law (2004) • Occupational, Health and safety Act (OSHA), 2007 • Penal Code Act (cap.63) • Public Health Act (Cap. 242) • Rehabilitation, Reconstruction and Development Act, 1990 • Social Development Act (1974) • Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) Act – Retained as Cap 412 • The Child Rights Act (2003) • The Factories Acts 1990 being implemented by the Factories Inspectorate Division of Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity (FMLP). • Workers Compensation Act (2010) International Treaties/Agreements/Conventions Applicable to the Sub-projects • Bamako Convention on Ban on the Import into Africa and the Control of Transboundary Movement and Management of Hazardous Wastes within Africa (1991) • Basel Convention on the control of Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal (1991) • Protocol on Water and Health (1999) • Safety and Health in Mines, (1995) • The Rights to Water (2002) • United Nation World Summit on Sustainable Development, (2002) • United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), (1992) 2.1.3 Gender Based Violence – Relevance, Legal and Policy Importance in Nigeria 2.1.3.1 Nigeria Legal and Regulatory Framework on GBV Nigeria’s national government has taken steps to penalize and address SH and SEA, although a clear leadership with the leverage to garner multi sectoral support to address this complex problem seems absent. The institutional champion of women’s and children’s rights and GBV issues within t he government is the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development (FMWASD). But it has limited influence on 31 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT sectoral ministries who need to enforce policy, insufficient budgetary resources3 and insufficient institutional capacity to enact its mandate. The regulatory framework to address both GBV, SEA and VAC is uneven because the Nigerian legal system is plural, and different legal systems co-exist, namely, the statutory law, Sharia law in the northern regions, and customary law in rural areas. The simultaneous application of this three-tier system creates differentiated degrees of protection to women’s and children’s rights4 which varies in every state and its enforcement is weak. There is a lack of clear mandates regarding which institutions oversee child protection and the design and implementation of violence prevention strategies and provision of services. Insufficient budget allocation both at national and state levels, coupled with inadequately trained and staffed structures to provide social welfare, justice, education and health services that are women, child and survivor-centred. While efforts to provide GBV survivors with basic response services is concentrated in the NE by international non-governmental organizations or the UN system, there are very limited government or non-governmental services in the rest of the country, those that exist are for the most part unregulated, uncoordinated and unpredictable.5 This is aggravated by a generalized lack of trust of citizens, particularly women, in the criminal justice system to enforce the existing laws. Moreover, lack of awareness of laws and knowledge of rights, amidst a context dominated by social norms that legitimate the perpetration of abuse, stigma and underreporting, results in the consequent impunity of perpetrators, possible re-victimization of survivors and the reproduction of the cycle of violence. Two key national laws address GBV, the Child Rights Act (CRA, 2003), and the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act (VAPP, 2015) which have been passed by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) but not by many of the 36 states, making them inapplicable in those States that have not adopted them. While CRA has been passed in 25 states, VAPP has been passed in 4 states in addition to the FCT. Where laws are domesticated, implementation remains weak as institutional capacities are weak (social welfare, police, family courts). In practice, the legal and judicial systems provide women and children with little protection against violence, and timely and adequate support services are scarce and often ill-equipped to respond to survivors’ needs. Nigeria has ratified or acceded to the core international human rights treaties and is a party to the major regional human rights instrument which obliged States to respect, protect and fulfil human rights of all persons within the territory and subject to the jurisdiction of the State, without discrimination. Rape may violate several human rights obligations enshrined in the instruments ratified by Nigeria and is also a form of gender-based violence and a brutal manifestation of violence against women, children and men. In addition, bias and unfairness towards certain genders with regards employment; promotion, privacy in using bathrooms or restrooms and granting of work-related benefits, may also communicate gender-based violence. As a State party to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa (the “Maputo Protocol�), Nigeria has made legally binding commitments to exercise due diligence to combat gender-based violence and discrimination and has signed international treaties as such. These include: • Convention concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the worst forms of Child Labour (2002) • Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention • Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention (1925) • International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1976) • Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2007) • The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) (1985), • The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) (2012) • The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) (2004); 3 UN Women data from 2011. 4 UN CEDAW 2017. 5 UNICEF 2018. 32 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT • The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) (2004) Regional Treaties Relevant to GBV, SEA, VAC and People Living with Disabilities • Abolition of Forced Labour Convention (1957) • Convention Against Torture & other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT) 2001 • Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2007) • The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) (1990), • The National Action Plan for the Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (2009); • The Protocol to the ACHPR on the Rights of Women in Africa (the “Maputo Protocol�) (2007). In addition, Nigeria also has obligations to protect the environment through various commitments to the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States and the Commonwealth. It is also committed through relations with the European Community under the Lome IV Convention. 2.2 Administrative Structure for Mining Sector in Nigeria Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD): The main federal institution that oversees mining activity in Nigeria is the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD) (formerly known as the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development (MSMD). The Ministry is saddled with the responsibility of carrying out regulatory and enforcement roles in the mining sector. It is organized along several technical directorates and agencies: Mines Inspectorate (MI), Mines Environmental Compliance Department (MEC), Artisanal and Small-Scale Department (ASM), Metallurgical Inspectorate and Raw Material Development, Mining Cadastral Office (MCO), and Nigerian Institute of Mining and Geosciences (NIMG). Established in 2007, the ministry is the principal organ for information, policy, and regulatory oversight in the solid mineral sector in Nigeria. Its mandate includes the following: (a) exploring the solid mineral resource of the nation; (b) advising the Government on the formulation and execution of laws and regulations guiding the various stages of prospecting, quarrying, and mining; (c) providing information and knowledge for enhancing investment in the solid mineral sector; (d) regulating the solid minerals sector; (e) handling sale and consumption of solid minerals in the country through the issuance of permits, licenses, leases and collection of rents, fees, and royalties; and (f) generating revenue for the Government. Nigerian Institute for Mining and Geosciences (NIMG), Jos, Plateau State: The NIMG Jos, an Affiliate of University of Jos was established by the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development in 2007. The objectives of NIMG are to: • Provide skills and knowledge to the artisanal and small-scale miners; • Train the middle and senior cadre of staff for the Industry, including the provision of in-house training for the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development and Agencies related with Mining Industry; • Conduct research in exploration, extraction and value addition including the development of simple equipment and tools for the industry; and • Constantly conduct short courses, workshops, conferences and seminars to train all stakeholders and advance informed knowledge on the "realities and best practices In Mining". National Metallurgical Development Center (NMDC): It was established in 1973 as the Testing Laboratory of the defunct Nigerian Steel Development Authority (NSDA), to specifically handle the analyses of raw materials for the then proposed state steel plants. It later metamorphosed into Metallurgical Research and Tests Division of the National Steel Council, with a broader scope to carry out Research and Development activities in metallurgical processes for the benefit of the emergent steel plants, after abrogation of the Decree establishing the NSDA. 33 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos.

Ten years later, it was named Ministry of Environment and Mineral Development. In 2007, it became Ministry of Mineral Special Duties, and in 2009 it was renamed Ministry of Mineral Development. The Ministry has a mandate to create an enabling environment which can attract both local and foreign investors in the Mineral sector to Plateau State and return the State to its rightful position as the cradle of Mining activities in Nigeria. Niger State Ministry of Mining and Mineral Resources: The Ministry has a mandate to transform the Niger State Mineral Sector into an irresistible mining investment destination for global capital and to increase Niger State revenue generation from about 10% to 60% by the year 2020. It is also responsible for promoting and attracting investments in the energy and mineral resources sectors to enhance infrastructural and socio- economic development for wealth and job creation in the State. Kaduna State Ministry of Solid Minerals: The ministry has a mandate to create a suitable environment for solid mineral exploration and exploitation in Kaduna State. Its vision is to diversify and increase the State’s GDP through investments and opportunities in the mining sector. Its goals are to improve technical and research operations within the State, thus ensuring quality in production and service.

FINAL REPORT CHAPTER THREE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT ENVIRONMENT AND BASELINE STUDIES 3.1 Background to the Project Environment The general description of the biophysical and socio-economic setting of the project locations is presented in Table 2 below. Table 2: Summary of General Biophysical and Socio-economic Setting in Project Geographical Areas Features Descriptions Location Jos- The city is located on the Jos Plateau at about 1,238m or 4,062 ft. above sea level. Suleja- Suleja is a city in Niger State, just north of Abuja, and capital of the Suleja Emirate. It is sometimes confused with the nearby city of Abuja, due to its proximity, and the fact that it was originally called Abuja before the Nigerian government adopted the name from the then Emir Sulayman Barau for its new federal capital in 1976.Apart from its closeness to the Nigerian federal capital, it is also recognised as a centre of excellence for traditional West African pottery, namely the world-famous Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre, established by Michael Cardew in 1950 Kaduna – Kaduna North and South Local Government Areas are bordered by Igabi local government to the South, West, and Southeast, by Chikun, Kajuru and Kauru local governments to the Northeast. It has an area of 72 km² and density of 5, 883.1 inh./km². Administrative Jos- The city is divided into 3 local government areas of Jos north, Jos south and Jos Divisions east. The city proper lies between Jos north and Jos south. Jos east houses the prestigious National Center For Remote Sensing. Jos north is the state capital and the area where most commercial activities of the state takes place, Suleja – Suleja is an emirate and has an Emir as its traditional ruler. On a government level, it’s also an LGA and headed by a Chairman with several wards Kaduna – Kaduna is dived into two Local Government Areas (LGAs) – Kaduna North and Kaduna South LGAs Climate Jos- Temperatures ranges from 21–25 °C (70–77 °F), and from mid-November to late January, night-time temperatures drop as low as 7 °C (45 °F). Hail sometimes falls during the rainy season because of the cooler temperatures at high altitudes Suleja – On the average, the climatic conditions in Suleja are as follows - Wind: 8 km/h WSW; Humidity: 48%; Dewpoint: 21°C; Pressure: 1007.3 mbar; Precipitation: 0 mm; Visibility: 16 km; UV index: 8 Kaduna – It lies well within the northern limit of the movement of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). It is characterized by two distinct seasonal regimes like the rest of Nigeria and West Africa, oscillating between cool to hot dry and humid to wet season. Topography Jos- The Jos Plateau is thought to be an area of younger granite which was intruded and Geology through an area of older granite rock, making up the surrounding states. These "younger" granites are thought to be about 160 million years old. This creates the unusual scenery of the Jos Plateau Suleja - The rocks underlying Suleja belongs to the Basement Complex system and comprises of the Migmatite-gneiss complex and the older granite. They are identified to 36 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Features Descriptions be older than the late Proterozoic meta-sediment, which forms part of the Nigerian Basement Complex Kaduna - The entire Kaduna state is underlain by a basement complex of igneous and metamorphic rocks of mainly Jurassic to Pre-Cambrian ages. The basement complex rocks are essentially granites, gneisses, migmatites, schists and quartzites. The topographical relief is relatively flat, having an elevation of between 600 and 650m in large areas of the local government. It is over 650m above mean sea level (a.m.s.l.) in some places, and below 500 metres in places that slope downward towards the river Demography Jos- The city has a population of about 900,000 residents based on the 2006 census. Popularly called "J-Town", it is the administrative capital and largest city of Plateau State Suleja - The population of Suleja is at 260,240 (National Population Council, 2016) Kaduna - The population of Kaduna is at 423,580 as of 2006 Nigeria population census 3.2 Site-Specific Description of the Project Environment 3.2.1 Project Facilities in Jos, Plateau State The project facilities in Jos include a) Nigerian Institute of Mining and Geosciences (NIMG): The NIMG consists of i) NIMG Tudun-Wada Campus (Old Site), ii) NIMG Permanent Site, iii) MCRC; and b) NMDC. These facilities are located in different location. NIMG Tudun-Wada Campus (Old Site) – The site is located at No 1. Metropolitan Avenue, a street leading to the Metropolitan Avenue residential area in Tudun Wada District of Jos town. It is a fenced-premises with two gates. The main gate leads into the premises; a first right-turn leads to the administrative block where the office of the Director General of the institute is located. On entry from the main gate, a straight three (3) minutes’ drive leads to other structures located towards the end of the facility. The second gate which is also termed “old gate� is no longer in use. In the past it was an entry point to the institute’s guest lodge. The NIMG old site is directly bordered by the Tudun Wada per-urban community, Tudun Wada (T/W) LEA Primary School, few residential homes and two (2) restaurants. Structures and Features to be Rehabilitated Clinic: The current clinic at the NIMG Old Site is equipped to meet mainly primary healthcare delivery services. It has a low out-patient frequency (2-3 cases per month) when compared to the NIMG permanent site. The clinic comprises of a doctor’s office, nurses’ office, treatment room, toilets and a ward. The ceiling is fitted with asbestos material and will be removed during the commencement of the intervention works. Classroom Block and Information Communication Technology (ICT) Library: The classrooms and library are situated towards the end of the premises. They are mainly used for learning and teaching students undergoing courses and programs at the institute. Major works will require asbestos removal, civil and plumbing works. Sample Preparation Laboratory, Chemical Analysis Laboratory, NIMC Laboratory and Mineral Processing and Geology Laboratory: These are situated at the centre of the premises, the laboratories are for high-level technical and analytical procedures involving heavy metals and solid minerals. They are equipped with some advanced equipment, such as atomic mass spectrometer (AMS), solid mineral crushers etc. Most processes in the laboratories make use of oxygen and acetylene gases, hence the availability of two tanks containing each gas on the site(See Annex 21: Compressed Gas Cylinder General Safety).

FINAL REPORT NIMG (Permanent Site) – The site is a completely fenced area located far off the Jos metropolis and is about 1.04km from the Jos, wildlife park6 (See Annex 22: Clauses Against Wildlife Poaching for contractors at NIMG Permanent Site). The clauses will be inserted in the Bidding Documents. Located behind the site is “Dong community�, a sub-urban community with numerous residential buildings, four (4) of which are directly behind the fence which separates them from the cafeteria situated in the site. The front-end of the site, is bordered by a vast forest area and a major highway (Miango Highway) leading to the Plateau State Polytechnic guest house and “Miango�, a settlement further down the highway, about 3km from the site. Structures and Features to be Rehabilitated Clinic: The clinic at the NIMG Permanent Site is equipped to meet mainly primary healthcare delivery services. However, the services being delivered exceed those generally offered by basic primary healthcare facilities, as the clinic experiences an average out-patient frequency of 100 cases per month. This is mainly attributable to the fact that residents from Dong community, receive healthcare services from the clinic due to its proximity. The clinic also provides healthcare delivery services to NIMG staff and military7 personnel who reside in the facility. The clinic comprises of a doctor’s office, nurses’ office, treatment room, toilets and a ward. Additionally, it will undergo an expansion to accommodate a new ward and extra offices and rooms. Hostel Block: The hostel block houses students undertaking post graduate studies. The major works to be undertaken include asbestos removal, plumbing and mechanical works. The same set of works will apply to the cafeteria. The site features are shown in Fig 12 below. Miango Highway Vast Forest Clinic Cafeteria Dong Jos, Wildlife Park Hostel Dong Residents proximal to the cafeteria Figure 12: Google Earth Image - NIMG Permanent Site Showing Location of Project Structures and Features 6 Jos, Wild Life Park: The animals in the park are all caged. This means that the internal arrangement of animals within the park, is such that it is designed not to pose any risks to visitors and communities around its vicinity, including the NIMG permanent site. 7 Military Personnel on site: The military personnel onsite were requested by the former Director General of NIMG to help guard the premises during the violent attacks by herdsmen in Jos town in 2018 and 2019. Currently, no such attacks have been recorded in Jos or at the project site. However, the current administration of the NIMG has chosen to extend the engagement of the military as a proactive, protective and counter terrorist measure. 39 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT See Fig 13 and 14 for pictures of some of the structures to be rehabilitated. Figure 13: Cafeteria Exterior with Leakages on Figure 14: Cafeteria Interior with dilapidated the Walls and Roof Flanks Asbestos Ceiling Mining Community Resource Centre (MCRC)– The MCRC is part of the NIMG. It was built in 1952, during the British colonial area. The facility is located along Kashim Ibrahim Street, in the West of Mines area of Jos, which is renowned for its evening sit-out areas where customers from the City come to buy chicken, fish and chips; a popular meal in Jos. The major features within the site are the mineral processing laboratory, mill, gate house and mineral and mining museum. Figure 15 below presents a Google Earth view of the project facility/site.

FINAL REPORT Some of the interior features of the MCRC are shown in Figures 16 and 17 below. Figure 16: Dilapidated Gate House at MCRC Figure 17: Asbestos Ceiling at the MCRC Museum b) National Metallurgical Development Centre (NMDC) – The site is located along the Zaria Road, which is a major highway for commuting to Zaria Town, in Kaduna State. It is slightly located off major business and socio- economic sensitive areas, with a few adjacently sited businesses, about a minute’s walk from its second gate (which is currently not in use) and 3-4 minutes from the entrance gate. The most proximal social features to the project facility include Unity Bank, a plaza with mini-shops/stores and vehicle spare part shops. On the opposite side of the facility is the notable, Jos Stadium. Structures and Features to be Rehabilitated Clinic: The clinic at the NMDC is designed to meet mainly primary healthcare delivery services for staff of the NMDC, but is poorly equipped and generally unhygienic. Compared to the clinic at the NIMG permanent site, this clinic does not provide services to residents living around the project boundary. Telecommunication Block: The telecommunication block is a central communications control block for intercom services within the NMDC. It is an old structure fitted with an asbestos ceiling. Wet Analysis Laboratory, SEM Laboratory and Corrosive Laboratory: These are situated at the centre of the premises, the laboratories are for high-level technical and analytical procedures. The wet laboratory is used for conducting analysis of liquids and the corrosive laboratory for analyzing minerals and chemical substances with highly corrosive properties. Figure 18 below shows a Google Earth image of the project area and features within its project boundary. 41 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Vehicle Spare parts dealers, Unity Bank, Second Gate Bookshops Foundry EAF Building Za ria Wet Laboratory Ro ad Main Entrance Gate Jos, Stadium Figure 18: Google Earth View of NMDC, Showing Features Foundry and Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Building–The foundry is located at the end of the premises towards the second gate. It is used mainly for metal casting works and has an installed kiln system as one of its major equipment, which is used for melting metals. The EAF Building, comprises of an important feature – the moulding pit, use for electric arcing works. Currently, the moulding pit is lined with earth and has cracks which allow for groundwater to seep in. This seeping-in of groundwater into the pit is dangerous, as it could result in an explosion and fire during operation(See Annex 23: Control Measures for Risks and Hazards in Foundry Works). The Bill of Quantities (BoQ) prepared for the facility indicates that the pit will be renovated and properly reconstructed under the proposed intervention works. Pictures of the foundry, EAF building and moulding pit are presented in Figure 19, subsequently.

FINAL REPORT Water Treatment Plant – A clear water treatment plant (CWTP) has been included as part of the proposed intervention works at NMDC. The WTP is expected to treat water abstracted from the borehole sited in the facility, so it is suitable and hygienic for potable use. The CWTP will consist of a Collection point, treatment system, purification point, storage, and distribution channels. Investigations on groundwater conditions from the borehole showed high mineral content (See Fig 34, Section 3.3, sub-section 3.3.4 for graph). An additional component of the WTP is a system for treating grey water8, -Grey Water System (GWS). The plan is that treated grey water will be used for water cisterns, washing machines, garden maintenance, technical purposes such as foundry works, quenching and engine cooling, etc. excluding drinking, cooking, bathing and laboratory processes. Essentially, the system will reuse grey water from utilities producing it, after treatment. The CWTP will consist of a slump pit which will serve as a waste water collection point, a treatment chamber, storage and distribution channels to consumption points. Figures 20 and 21 show schematic representations of the CWTP and GWS respectively. Figure 20: Clear Water Treatment Plant (CWTP) Figure 21: Grey Water System (GWS) 3.2.2 Project Facilities in Kaduna, Kaduna State The project facilities in Kaduna include a) National Geosciences Research Laboratories - NGRL and b) National Steel Raw Material Exploration Agency - NSRMEA NGRL – The site is located along the Aliyu Makama Road, in Barnawa area of Kaduna City. Barnawa is an urban district in Kaduna South Local Government Area. Around the project area are located numerous residential areas, and petty businesses. The perimeter fence of the facility is not complete at some sections, this poses a security risk and has informed the need for the intervention works to include fencing works. Other structures to be constructed/rehabilitated include the core shed building, gate house, sample preparatory laboratory and main laboratory buildings. Some old dilapidated structures will also be demolished and not rebuilt. See Figure 20 below for Google Earth imagery of the project facility and location. Figure 22 shows pictures of some features and structures in the facility. 8 Grey Water: Grey water or sullage is all the wastewater generated in households or office buildings from streams without fecal contamination, i.e. all streams except for the wastewater from toilets. Sources of grey water include sinks, showers, baths, washing machines or dishwashers 43 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos.

The Agency is saddled with the primary responsibility of sourcing minerals for the steel industry. It also generates reliable databank for the solid mineral sector and proffers detailed Geo-Mechanical attributes of earth materials to enhance safe and economic exploitations. The major departments include: Coal & Industrial Minerals, Engineering Services, Financial & Human Resource Department, Geological Services Department, Iron & Ferro - Alloys Department. See Figure 24 below. Main Administrative Block Figure 24: NSRMEA Project Facility, Showing Main Administrative Block 3.2.3 Project Facilities in Suleja, Niger State The project facility in Suleja proposed for intervention works is Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre – The site is located along the Suleja-Minna Road in Kwamba, a small community in Suleja town. The centre was renowned for its vast production of pottery, earthenware and ceramics in past years and a major tourist point for foreigners and locals interested in understudying the local art of pottery in North- Central Nigeria. It has been non-operational for over 20 years, even though administrative staff and administrative processes are still present and ongoing respectively. The current state of the Centre is in ruins; warehouses, kilns and equipment rooms are dilapidated and non-operational, and the administrative block is in need of a total rehabilitation. Over the past 20 years, a section of the site which was not fenced during the initial construction of the Centre has since become an “earth-road or street� which serves as a major route for over 8 churches and a main access to the Kantoma River located alongside the Ladi Kwali Pottery Center. The river serves as a resource for Okada (Motorcycle riders), and other users (majorly laundry men) who use its water for washing of their vehicles and clothes respectively. Additionally, it also serves as a recreational point for swimmers. It was observed that women don’t come to the river for the uses described above; this is mainly because of privacy related to local , cultural and religious reasons. Opposite the Centre and across the road is the Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS) Suleja (It is strongly advised that the Contract ensures to reduce noise impacts considerably). See Chapter 5: ESMP for Ladi Kwali Potery Centre; Social Impacts – Construction Phase. Map 1 below shows a general layout of the site. 45 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Sul eja - Mi nn a Ro ad GGSS Map 1: Map of Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre Significantly, there exists pockets of petty traders and other livelihoods on the site. Some of these include garri (low-scale processed cassava) producers, mechanics, and shoemakers. Also adjacent to the site is a mosque, of which a small section of its “steps� is on the project site (according to the proposed engineering designs and original dimensions of the site). Other livelihood activities adjacent to the site include, mechanic repairs, carpentry and petty trading. It is noteworthy to state that impacts arising from physical and economic displacement, including reclamation of the access road as part of the original perimeter of the project site are addressed in a stand-alone ARAP being prepared for the sub-project. Nonetheless, for the purpose of this ESMP Report adverse impacts are highlighted in Chapter 4, and mitigation measures provided in Chapter 5. In the course of conducting field works and engaging with stakeholders, specifically the Ministry of Lands and Survey, Ministry of Works, and Ministry of Culture and Tourism it was confirmed and affirmed that the Niger State Government had previously informed persons with businesses or livelihoods on the access road (which is part of the land of the Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre) that in the event of any development, the socio-economic activities and livelihoods will have to be terminated. Additionally, when owners of these petty business were engaged during the studies, they confirmed what the Niger State Government had reported. It was uncovered that an alternative route exists, and according to the cadastral plan of the area, is the original access route. Figure 25 below shows a Google Earth Image of the current access road and proposed alternative route (Yellow and Green lines respectively; including pictures). Prior to the Lockdown authorized by the Federal Government of Nigeria (May 31st, 2020) with regards the current COVID-19 pandemic, visits where made by the Consultant to the respective State Ministries concerned, to obtain further details with regards the alternative road/route. The current situation is that dated 20th July 2020, the Honourable Commissioner, Niger State Ministry of Tourism and Culture affirmed that the alternative access road has been granted for use by commuters. Moreover, all documentation to this effect, is in the custody of the 46 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos.

This is in order to ensure management of project-related adverse impacts, on the baseline levels. 3.3.1 Sampling Methodology Soil and water samples were collected. A total number of twenty-four (24) samples were analyzed. Twelve (12) samples for topsoil and sub-soil and Twelve (12) for surface water and groundwater were analyzed. These were subjected to composite analysis. Air quality analysis was carried out using a Testo 350 XL. Measurements were taken at different locations around each project area with the same coordinates for noise. Noise levels were measured using a Testo 815 Noise meter. See Figure -26-32 3.3.2 Surface water Analysis Surface water samples were collected using sterile dark coloured100ml bijour bottles. Samples for heavy metals and physico-chemical studies were also collected in their respective coded plastic containers and stored in ice- packed coolers. Samples were preserved in refrigerators at 4°C prior to laboratory analyses. Fast changing physico-chemical parameters such as Temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) etc. were measured in-situ using an in-situ water analyzer. 3.3.3 Physico-Chemical Properties of Surface Water and Groundwater Samples From the physico-chemical analysis, all values of analyzed samples are within the FMEnv limits.

This may be attributed to the brownish colour of groundwater (from the borehole) noticed at the facility, thus the justification for a water treatment plant as high levels of iron in drinking water can lead to hemochromatosis - which can cause damage to the liver, heart, and pancreas. More so, water filled with iron, may lead to plumbing issues, as excessive iron can leave behind residues, which can then build up and cause clogging.

The predominance of coliform bacteria could be attributed to the recreational and laundry activities; and cattle watering performed in the Kantoma River. 3.3.5 Soil Sample Collection Soil samples were collected using a manual soil auger. Surface soil samples were collected within a soil depth of 0-15 cm, while sub-soil samples were collected within a soil depth of 15-30cm. Samples for physico-chemical analysis and heavy metal analysis were collected into coded plastic bags after being wrapped in aluminium foil. Soil samples were placed into containers made of high UV (Ultra Violet) resistant material. Soil samples for microbial analysis were collected in sterile 500ml Bijour bottles. 3.3.6 Physico-Chemical and Heavy Metal Properties of Soil Samples The levels for pH, conductivity, Total Organic Matter, and organic carbon exchange were all within their respective FMEnv limits.

FINAL REPORT CHAPTER FOUR IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS AND ASSESSMENT 4.1 Impacts Identification The proposed project will lead to potential impacts on the environmental and socio-economic status of the project locations. These impacts will be beneficial and some adverse. Specifically, beneficial impacts will include demolition of dilapidated structures and construction of new ones, rehabilitation, civil and electromechanical works to improve onsite infrastructure. Additionally, other beneficial impacts will include infrastructural and institutional upgrades that will enhance administrative and technical processes at the federal level, thereby giving a kick-start that will enable long-term economic growth and development of the mining sector and environmentally sound, safe and sustainable sectoral services. Hence, this chapter presents a summary of the identified potentially beneficial and adverse environmental and social impacts associated with the sub-projects. 4.2 Identified Potential Environmental and Social Impacts The aspects considered when assessing the potential environmental and social impacts of the Project are listed below. Potential adverse impacts will be addressed in the ESMP (Chapter 5) of this report. Table 6 shows the Identified Potential beneficial and adverse Environmental and Social Impacts (by Project Phases). 58 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Table 6: Identified Potential Environmental and Social Impacts (by Project Phases) in all project locations Pre-construction Phase Environmental Impacts Positive Feasibility Studies and EA The mandatory engineering designs and bill of quantities (BOQ), including the environmental assessment, will describe the proposed project structural needs and Instrument activities, and assess the potential impacts of project activities on the biophysical and social environment respectively. Stakeholders’ Engagement The stakeholder engagement process is seen to be a positive impact, as it will form a basis for project concept decision-making and implementation for all project locations in Kaduna, Niger and Plateau States. Needs Assessment For upgrades on structures such as clinics, laboratories, workshops etc., a contributory benefit may be the need to assess and quantify required commodity inputs such as reagents, gases and laboratory equipment especially for the proposed water treatment plant at NMDC (Jos, Plateau State). Water Treatment Plant The WTP will improve water filtration processes to enable availability of potable water for uses in NMDC specifically. Negative Air The impacts on air will be minimal. Impacts may only arise from exhaust emissions as materials and equipment are transported into the project locations/facilities [NIMG (Old and Permanent Sites), MCRC, NMDC – Jos; Ladi Kwali Pottery Center – Suleja; and NGRL and NSRMEA – Kaduna] or during the use of machinery, mainly for concrete mixing during building(s) rehabilitation, welding and vegetation clearing/restriction of access. Land Clearing/ Land clearing will only be extensive in the NIMG permanent site, where savannah vegetation and shrubs will need to be cleared around structures identified by Preparation of Contractor’s the MinDiver project for rehabilitation. Further clearing will be done throughout the site and will include felling of trees and removal of some vegetation. Onsite Office / Staging area for equipment • Preparation of the areas for locating Contractor’s onsite offices (in the project locations/facilities) may result in short term generation of fugitive dust during land clearing, especially if clearing works are done in the dry season. All sites except for the NIMG permanent site will have an onsite office, which will house 4-5 skilled personnel. The NIMG permanent site however, will have a worker’s camp, with about 10-15 worker. • There is also the likely hood of uncovering Physical Cultural Resources during digging of new foundations for fresh constructions. likely locations will include Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre, Suleja and NGRL, Kaduna. A Physical Cultural Resources (PCR) plan is captured in Annex 19 Soil • Most of the premises of the project facilities are layered with asphalt or concrete. Impacts on soil will be minimal. Nonetheless leakages may occur from stacked equipment containing oil. If this occurs in areas covered by earth, the possibility of oil seeping-through into the soil may occur. Depending on the quantity, there may be possible contamination of soil and eventually groundwater. Noise • Minimal noise impacts are envisaged during the movement of equipment and materials into the project locations/facilities. Transport of equipment and • Minimal noise impacts are envisaged during the movement of equipment and materials into the project locations/facilities. materials to and from site • Carbon emissions from exhaust fumes Social Impacts Positive Stakeholders’ Engagement • The project will undertake a stakeholders’ engagement exercise to sensitize the i) Ladi Kwali Pottery Center, Suleja– Staff, residents of Kantoma and the Ladi Kwali Pottery Layout, Assemblies of God and Mountain of Fire Churches, and Government Secondary School (GSS), Suleja; ii) NIMG (Old and Permanent Sites) – Staff, residents of the Metropolitan Avenue, Tudun Wada Local Government Education Authority (LEA) Primary and Secondary school, and four residents of Dong Community; iii) MCRC – Staff, and residents of West of Mines; iv) NMDC – Staff, Unity Bank, Vehicle spare parts dealers’ association, shops and petty traders; v) NGRL – Staff, and residents along Aliyu Makama road closest to the project location; vi)NSRMEA – Staff, residents of Rabah road, Ungwan Bado, and Federal Government College (FGC), Kaduna. The stakeholders’ engagement process is seen to be a positive impact, as it will form a basis for project concept decision-making, implementation and ownership. 59 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Pre-construction Phase Capacity Building • The Staff and management of the Ladi Kwali Pottery Center, Suleja, NIMG (old and permanent sites), MCRC, NMDC, NGRL and NSRMEA and other critical stakeholders will benefit from trainings on ESMP implementation and monitoring. Public awareness and social mobilization programs on the project will be conducted in order to keep the public abreast of the developments. Promote Organizational and • The project will stimulate linkages and effective working relations between the management of the respective project facilities, Federal Road Safety Corps Community Cohesion (FRSC) and the Environmental Protection Agencies in Kaduna, Niger and Plateau States. Also important are nearby residential associations and schools in close proximity to the project facilities. Essentially, working cohesion (between project facilities and the environmental protection agencies) will be most significant in the temporary onsite storage and final evacuation of asbestos wastes to designated disposal areas. Negative Traffic • Traffic impacts will be negligible or minor; only occurring when heavy duty vehicles are conveying equipment to and fro the respective project facilities, along main town/city routes leading directly to the project facilities in the three States. Essentially, this will be short-term as it is only likely to cause slight and temporary hold-ups for about 5 -7 minutes only when large trucks are being maneuvered during entry or exit from the premises, or longer if there is a Contractor’s vehicle breakdown. It is important to note that no major transport impacts are expected at the NIMG permanent site. However, at the NIMG old site, there may be temporary hold-ups as the “Metropolitan Avenue� is the only entry and exit point. At the MCRC, NMDC, NGRL, NSRMEA, and Ladi Kwali Pottery Center, negligible or minor traffic impacts are likely. (See Annex 7: Traffic Management Plan) Noise Most of these areas are within the city center except for the NIMG Permanent site in Jos, Plateau State. Noise from heavy-duty project vehicles and equipment is envisaged; however, these may not exceed the WHO/FME acceptable noise level limits, (current noise levels range between 45-50db). Grievances • Grievances from petty traders and artisanal shops that will be informed about the likelihood of being displaced, specifically, at Ladi Kwali Pottery Center, Suleja, Niger State. Also, from users of the access road leading to the Kantoma River and churches down the road. Conflicts of Interest • Possible non-violent conflicts of interest between Contractors, staff of project facilities, and interest groups in the community who might like to provide unskilled labour services to the Contractors. Occupational Health and Safety Positive Hazard Communication During the pre-construction phase, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) awareness programs will be conducted. Awareness programs and interactive sessions Programs (HAZCOM) will benefit primarily the contractors’ personnel, staff of the project facilities and the MinDiver PIU. Guidelines on safe practices and safe behaviours will be made available to these groups in order to minimize the occurrence of occupational incidents or accidents in the course of implementing project activities. Negative Air During the pre-construction phase, negligible or minor air pollution from exhaust fumes of vehicles and equipment moving into work areas may occur. Noise Exposure to minor noise pollution during movement of equipment to work areas. Construction Phase Environmental Impacts Positive Waste Management • The construction phase will see to the implementation of a viable waste management plan and asbestos management plan for project activities Vegetation clearing, • Vegetation clearing will encourage landscaping and aesthetics. Rehabilitation of drainages and installation of interlocks along and around existing Interlocking and Drainage structures will reduce the risk of possible erosion of topsoil during intensive rainfalls. Specifically, in Ladi Kwali Pottery Center. Rehabilitation Negative Water Quality Water Quality and Hydrology • There may be potential for contaminant laden water runoff to impact on surface water quality. The contaminants in water runoff may have the potential to enter existing local watercourses majorly, the Kantoma River beside the Ladi Kwali Pottery Center, Suleja and the Farin Gada River 60 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Construction Phase beside the NMDC, Jos. • Accidental spillage of chemicals and fuels from the operation and maintenance of construction vehicles and equipment will pose negative impacts to surface and future groundwater quality. • Project activities may affect water and sanitation conditions, increase chances of stagnated water which may lead to Water Borne Diseases. Soil • Oil, and chemical leakages from work vehicles and equipment may lead to soil contamination and death of beneficial soil flora and fauna. • Soil contamination from construction wastes such as oil (fuel, lubricants), cement, and paint may occur. This impact will be localized, minor and short term. Carbon Emissions • Carbon and Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from vehicular and construction equipment would be generated during the construction phase of the project. These are however envisaged to be minor. Air • Minimal increase in fugitive dusts during movement of vehicles • Civil works will cause changes in the baseline air and atmospheric conditions of the project area and surrounding environment. Cement dusts, machinery exhaust fumes (nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur oxides (SOx), hydrocarbons and suspended particulates) and dusts from rehabilitation and other activities will impact negatively on air-quality. Air pollution from machineries will be short term, moderate and localized. Air pollution in the vicinity of the works areas will be generated by activities involving demolition of structures, ceiling and roof installations etc. • During the rehabilitation, demolition and construction, exposed paints and other hazardous substances may result in volatile vapour releases into the atmosphere likely causing environmental and health risks over a long exposure period. Noise • Noise impacts will occur, probably exceeding WHO/FMEnv permissible limits (90 db/70db). Noise impacts are expected to be minimal, short-term, reversible and site-specific. Impacts will occur mainly during construction works, vegetation clearing and overhauling and installation of old and new equipment, respectively. Terrestrial/Aquatic Habitats • Civil work activities during this phase may have minor short-term impacts on fauna and flora within the project areas, including aquatic life (if surface water is contaminated by contaminant sources from rehabilitation activities) e.g. Ladi Kwali Pottery Center, Suleja and NMDC, Jos. Waste Generation • The construction phase will lead to increase in on and off-site quantities of generated construction wastes (demolition wastes) and disused asbestos materials. • In addition, overhaul and replacement of electric wires, switches and sockets will result in minor stockpiles of e-waste. Respiratory Diseases • An incidence of respiratory conditions and respiratory diseases (asbestosis, silicosis, asthma, bronchitis, and other upper respiratory tract infections) is likely to occur, due to air contamination by asbestos fibres, exhaust fumes and dust resulting from civil works Occupational Health and In the course of the rehabilitation works, there would be a moderate to severe likelihood of the occurrence of workplace hazards. Most activities could Safety predispose personnel to hazards. “Unsafe behaviours� 9and “Unsafe conditions10� will pose a serious occupational health and safety risk. Hazardous conditions or practices likely to impact on occupational health and safety will include: a) Electromechanical works b) Works involving asbestos removal and roof repairs /installations c) Conveying and lifting of heavy equipment d) Use and exposure to hazardous energy i.e. Arc welding and electrical works 9 Unsafe Behaviours – are behaviours that expose workers or visitors to the work place, to hazards and risks. These may include, horse-play; not undergoing training before commencing a hazardous activity; not wearing appropriate Personal Protect Equipment (PPEs), not reporting worksite incidents or accidents etc. 10 Unsafe Conditions – represent onsite situations or settings that predispose works or visitors to worksite to hazards and risks such as uncovered ditches, naked energized electric wires or cables, exposed rotatory machinery, leaking poisonous or noxious gases, exposed nail-tip in a wooden floor etc. 61 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Construction Phase • Risk of falls: During rehabilitations works in the molten pit located in EAF building in NMDC, Jos, it is likely for workers to be exposed to the risk of falling into the molten pit. Social Impacts Positive Employment Generation • Short-term employment of skilled and unskilled labour will be promoted. Most unskilled labour and some skilled labour will be local. Artisans and professionals from Tudun Wada (Jos), Farin Gada (Jos), Dong (Jos), Suleja, Barnawa (Kaduna) and Ungwan Bado/Malali (Kaduna) will be provided contractual employment during this phase. This will help promote community goodwill. Security • Construction activities may bring about illumination (lighting) at night. This will help secure the work premises and may indirectly reduce the occurrence of social vices within and around the premises. Specifically, the NIMG Permanent Site will benefit from this as it is located in a secluded area of Jos North LGA. Livelihoods • This phase will encourage economic activities within around the project facilities/locations. Whilst facility management will ensure to prevent unauthorized persons from providing economic services within their facility premises; since there will be presence of workforce, petty traders and food- spot owners will benefit from the demand of workers/personnel. Social Co-existence • The construction phase will encourage co-existence of different ethnic and tribal groups from amongst contractor personnel, staff of the project facilities, MinDiver PIU, and others in an event where the Contractor engages local and non-local workforce. Occupational Health & Safety • Occupational health and safety efforts will be intensified during the construction phase as traffic signs, warning and hazard signs will be put up on major streets leading the project facilities and within the respective facilities to inform staff, residential communities and others, about the on-going rehabilitation works. • The phase will encourage the conduct of Occupational Health Risk Assessment (OHRA), Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), Hazard Communication Program (HAZCOM), OHS trainings and other proactive safety strategies (fulfilling the social and fiscal imperatives) which will help reduce the occurrence of on- site incidents/accidents and the resultant burden of direct or indirect compensation costs. Negative Power Outages There may be temporary power outages in some facilities where electrical repair and fitting works will be done. This might result in temporary interruption of processes and activities that rely on electricity. Water Supply Efficiency and Mechanical and plumbing works may lead to temporary interruption of water supply within the facilities, and temporary closure and denial of access to toilet Access to Toilet/Convenience and convenience within the project facilities. Risk of Illicit Behaviour and Increased risk of illicit behaviour and crime (such as theft and substance abuse) attributable to labour influx. Additionally, there may be increase in Crime unprotected sexual intercourse due to labour influx. Grievances and Disruption of • Grievances from petty traders and artisanal shops that are likely to be physically and economically displaced during reconstruction and rehabilitation Activities works at the Ladi Kwali Pottery Center, Suleja, Niger State. It is noteworthy to state that issues regarding involuntary resettlement will be addressed in a standalone Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) being prepared by the MinDiver Project for the site. • Displeasure from project facilities’ staff who may need to temporarily vacate their offices during rehabilitation works proposed for the various priority infrastructures, within the project facilities. Additionally, implementation of civil works may temporarily interrupt technical, laboratory, research and other administrative works at the NIMG, NMDC, MCRC, NGRL and NSRMEA respectively. • Temporary disruption of learning and training activities at the NIMG permanent site during the rehabilitation works of classrooms, hostels, and other civil works within the facility. This is also envisaged at MCRC and the NIMG old site (Tudun Wada). Other causes of Grievances may include: a. Temporary power outages in the facilities b. Obstruction to certain accesses points normally used by staff, students and visitors (work-related grievance) 62 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Construction Phase c. Disruption of routine work operations due to on-going civil and electromechanical works (work-related grievance) d. Gender-based violence, including sexual harassment, child abuse and exploitation e. Increased risk of communicable/infectious diseases (including STDs, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-1911) (See Annex 14 for COVID-19 Working Guidelines for Construction Personnel) f. Child labour – forced hawking Labour Influx Labour influx may lead to: • Risk of social conflict between facilities’ staff and the construction workers resulting from operational, religious, cultural or ethnic differences, or based on competition for local resources (e.g. Canteen, boreholes, etc.). • Risk of illicit behaviour and practices such as theft, physical assaults, substance abuse and prostitution (attributable to the presence of a labour camp (NIMG permanent site) and on-site offices (other site locations). • Increase in migrant workers/followers who in addition to the labour force, may migrate to the project site, in view of rendering goods and services. Sexual Harassment (SH)) and • Women and girls (within and outside the premises) may be exposed to sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment as a result of interactions with Sexual Exploitation and Abuse construction workers and possibly followers. (SEA) - attributable to labour • Also, females engaged in near-site petty businesses may suffer abuse from their benefactors/guardians in instances where they do not meet influx projected sales for the day. In addition, students in GGSS Suleja may be victims of SH and SEA. • Sex workers may contribute to the spread or suffer contracting infectious diseases, STDs and STIs due to labour influx. There may also be the likelihood of them suffering sexual exploitation and abuse. (Note: there is also the possibility of contracting COVID-19). Violence Against Children • The increased opportunity for the surrounding residents, hawkers and petty trading shops to sell goods and services to construction workers may (VAC) - attributable to labour increase child labour and temporarily affect school attendance. Children may be exposed to various forms of violence from construction workers influx and overbearing parents who may send them hawking at the project sites/facilities. • In addition, children may be forced to stay up late in order to prepare needed goods/services (bread, beans cake, corn porridge, etc.) for construction workers. Moreover, they may be forced to wake up early in order to get these products to the project site on time. Recreation • The Kantoma River located alongside the Ladi Kwali Pottery Center, Suleja, Niger State is a recreational natural resource for Okada (Motorcycle riders), and other users (majorly laundry men and swimmers). This being the case, the proposed civil works which will result in the reclamation of the existing access route will restrict access to the river for recreational activities. Reclamation of Land • Currently, part of the land of the Ladi Kwali Pottery Center has been converted into an access route/road over the years. This error was because the initial construction works did not properly define nor erect a fence throughout the entire perimeter of the site. From the engineering designs, some of the new structures will extend into the current access route, therefore reclaiming that portion of land and part of a mosque located on the access route. It is noteworthy to state that issues regarding involuntary resettlement will be addressed in a standalone Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) being prepared by the MinDiver Project for the site. Community Health and Safety • Considering that an aspect of the civil works to be implemented at the NIMG Tudun Wada Campus, will be undertaken at the Library which shares a fence with the Tudun Wada LEA Primary School, Community Health and Safety is key as untrained workers could discard debris and disused 11 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2020) defined COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) as is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China and has since become a pandemic (2020). 63 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Construction Phase construction material across the fence and into the school premises; which could likewise result in casualties of “ Kinetic, Physical or Contact Hazards12�, • Conscious or accidental discharge of construction debris, cement-laden water run-off, chemicals and other hazardous materials into streams and water courses in close proximity to project sites (Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre and NGRL) could contaminate surface water used by locals; thus, increasing exposure to forms of water intoxication and possibility in the occurrence of cases of metabolic/endocrine disorders amongst affected groups. Operation Phase Environmental Impacts Positive Environmentally Safe • Environmentally safe and friendly roofing and ceiling fittings, such that will not expose workers to asbestosis. Working Infrastructure • Rehabilitated and reconstructed buildings void of defects that could cause Public Health • Rehabilitated healthcare facilities and strengthened capacity to provide staffing healthcare services as well as community healthcare services (specifically at the NIMG permanent site). Water Treatment and • Improved operations and safety in water treatment processes, storage and supply (specifically at NMDC). Supply Conducive Built • Following the replacement of asbestos with environmentally and public health safer options, including repairs in the plumbing systems, classrooms and Environment for Post- hostels will be in a better state for post-graduate studies with are provided by the likes of NIMG (old and permanent sites) and MCRC specifically. Graduate Studies Negative Water Treatment and • Generation of sludge. See Annex 20 for Sludge Waste Management Plan (SWMP) Supply Healthcare Waste The operation phase of the project will result in build-up of healthcare wastes as there will be an increase in healthcare delivery due to more efficient Generation services and increase in outpatients. Performance • Operation Failure - due to mechanical failure or third-party interference. • Power outages, which may disrupt work processes. Carbon Emissions • Carbon emissions from extensive generator operations, especially when there are power shortages in the municipalities where the project facilities are located. • Also, from the use of other machinery which result in carbon emissions. E.g kiln systems in the foundry (NMDC). Social Impacts 12 Kinetic, Physical or Contact Hazards are those that expose individuals to injuries or fatalities as a result of energy associated with motion or have potential to move. They also imply that injuries or fatalities occur when a moving or falling object hits or lands on an unsuspecting individual or group of individuals 64 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Operation Phase Positive Water Treatment and Improvement in overall water supply and sanitation services for NMDC. Supply Employment There will be job creation and employment. For instance, more workers may be employed by the project facilities etc. Services Services delivered by commercial establishments (restaurants), hospitals, businesses etc. will be enhanced directly and indirectly Educational Tours The upgrades in the facilities will make it suitable for educational tours, (for example university students studying in the fields of geology, geo- engineering, mining, electrical engineering, industrial safety, chemical engineering, structural engineering etc.) and Industrial Training (Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme [ SIWES])� and those requiring hands-on experience. Revenue Increase in revenue generation for the federal government of Nigeria via payment on services rendered to business outfits, mining companies etc. Negative Loss of Employment Contractors, sub-contractors and personnel engaged during the construction phase will be relieved of their duties at the commencement of the operational phase. Occupational Health and Safety Positive Positive outcomes during the operation phase on occupational health and safety will be as follows: • Implementation of site-specific occupational health and safety management plans (OHSMPs) • Monitoring for occupational health and safety risk assessment (OHSRA) report data. • Continuous job hazard analysis and process hazard analysis (JHA and PHA) • Implementation of a hazard communication program (HazCom) • Institution of safety committee(s). • Reduced direct and indirect costs as a result of implementing pro-active safety strategies. • OHS Training • PPE availability Negative During the operation phase, the under-listed Occupational health and safety hazards are likely to occur: • Explosion due to use of gases for chemical operations • Electrical fires • Flashovers • Accidents from plants and machines and pipe bursts 65 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT CHAPTER FIVE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 5.1 Overview The range of environmental, social and occupational health and safety issues associated with the Rehabilitation and Construction of Priority Infrastructures in Niger, Kaduna and Plateau States, are described in a matrix table format for the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP). The table also includes a column for Monitoring Indicators and Monitoring Frequencies. It outlines the corresponding mitigation measures for potential adverse environmental and social impacts including Occupational Health and Safety, Community Health and Safety, Waste Management, labour influx, SH, SEA and VAC issues that may ensue from the project implementation. Since the project consists of civil, electrical and mechanical works basically, majority of the environmental and social impacts and occupational hazards are expected to arise during the construction phase of the project. The ESMP also covers potential impacts as perceived during the pre-construction and operation phases. Five (5) separate ESMP matrix tables have been prepared. The first, covers NIMG Old and Permanent sites including MCRC (As these facilities all belong to NIMG). The second ESMP matrix table covers NMDC, while the third to fifth ESMP matrix tables cover NGRL, NSRMEA and Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre respectively. All the mitigation measures specified in the respective plans shall be included in the bid documents for the successful enterprises to implement. Campaigns on HIV/AIDS, environmental protection and waste management shall also be undertaken. For this purpose, services of experienced NGOs and specialists in the fields would be sought for or procured. In addition, only the NIMG permanent site may have a labour camp; as Contractors working on other sites will rent accommodation in the cities. These Contractors will only have onsite offices (NIMG Tudun Wada Campus, NMDC, NGRL, NSRMEA and Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre. A minimum onsite number of 30 persons is envisaged. Nonetheless, labour requirements will increase as community participation and work schedules are more defined.

Nonetheless, for this ESMP it is recommended that the PIU undergoes training in order to enhance its capacity in Environmental Assessment (EA), Implementation and Monitoring. Training is essential for ensuring that the ESMP provisions are implemented efficiently and effectively. The PIU shall therefore ensure that all persons that have roles to play in the implementation of the ESMP are competent with appropriate education, training or experience. Similarly, the Contractors shall be required to undertake general OHS awareness training for their project workforce and specific training for those whose work may significantly have adverse impact on the environment (e.g. management of asbestos waste). This is to ensure that they are fully aware of the relevant aspects of the ESMP and are able to fulfil their roles and functions. As a minimum, the contractors shall ensure they provide the following training to their personnel: I. General Awareness in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Training; o OHS/HSE Induction/Orientation Course for all workers to include (site safety rules, PPE requirements, Emergency Preparedness and Response); o Daily tool box talks for workers at the start of each day’s job; o Refresher OHS Courses as at when required. II. Project Specific Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Training o Material Handling Techniques o First Aid Training (for Site First Aiders) o Safe Driving Techniques (for drivers) The Contractor will be required to forward internal OHS training and procedures to the PIU for approval before commencement of civil works. Based on the assessment of the institutional capacities of the different agencies that will be involved in the implementation of the ESMP, two broad areas of capacity building have already been identified and recommended for effective implementation of the ESMP. Training costs for ESMP implementation and Monitoring plan are provided in Table 13 and 14 respectively.

FINAL REPORT CHAPTER SIX STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGEMENT 6.1 Overview Stakeholder engagement is an inclusive process conducted throughout the project life cycle. Where properly designed and implemented, it supports the development of strong, constructive and responsive relationships that are important for successful management of a project’s environmental and social risks. For this reason, stakeholders’ engagement must be started early in the project cycle because it guarantees the ‘social license to operate’ by signalling to communities and other local stakeholders that their views and well-being are considered important. In this section, consultations with key stakeholders are discussed. A Stakeholder Engagement Process (See Table 21) was developed in order to achieve proper stakeholder identification and mapping. The objectives focused on obtaining the views of relevant stakeholders on subject matter relating to proposed activities. 6.2 Stakeholder Engagement Process As part of the Stakeholder engagement process, the Consultant embarked on a Stakeholder mapping with the PIU’s Safeguards Unit. The following steps were taken for the stakeholders’ engagement process a) Identification of Stakeholders b) Prioritization of Stakeholders c) Understanding the Identified Stakeholders and their areas of influence/interest d) Mapping of Stakeholders See Table 21 below.

Collaboration: Collaboration was established with identified stakeholders to allow for effective decision-making processes so as to make decisions more responsive to stakeholder needs and improve the sustainability of program and project outcomes through increased ownership by stakeholders. Collecting, Recording, and Reporting on Inputs from Stakeholders: Stakeholder feedback on various dimensions of public services provided will be collected periodically through the MinDiver PIU Communication Specialist. These may to a minimum include: inclusiveness in decision-making, resource utilization or engagement processes. Stakeholders-led Monitoring: Involving stakeholders in monitoring services and products delivery, revenues, budget execution, procurement, contract awards, and reform policies will increase transparency, improve efficiency of service delivery or budget execution, and reduce opportunities for corruption. Additional entry points for stakeholder’s engagement in monitoring will include collaboration with local CBOs/NGOs, communities, local academia, or think-tanks in gathering results data and conducting joint evaluations of project results after project completion (including in the preparation of project Implementation Completion Reports). Capacity Building for Stakeholder Engagement: Capacity building for all relevant stakeholders (CBOs, communities, government officials, and national accountability institutions) is particularly necessary and needs to be systematically integrated into World Bank Group (WBG) supported operations where Stakeholder Engagement (SE) approaches are introduced for the first time at scale at the national, sectoral, program, or project level. A focus on building government capacity is also important to ensure the sustainability of engagement processes beyond the life of a project intervention. Vulnerable Groups Vulnerable Groups were identified at the level of consultations. The criteria utilized were based on establishing members of the project area of influence likely to be at the most risk of the adverse impacts of the proposed intervention works. This is with regards to: (i) easy predisposition to SH and SEA, contracting STIs and STDs or unwanted pregnancies (social vulnerability); (ii) individuals likely to suffer temporary effects of renovation of 178 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT offices, laboratories and on-site accommodation facilities and may face psycho-social impacts (physical and social vulnerability); (iii) staff and visitors with physical disabilities; and (iv) elderly persons (social and probably, economic vulnerability).In line with the criteria above, these include: • Teenage and Adolescent Females: These, especially from surrounding schools majorly at NIMG old site (Tudun Wada LEA Primary School) and Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre (GGSS Suleja), stand the risk of suffering SH, SEA, contracting STIs, STDs or unwanted and/or early pregnancies caused by migrant workers, especially at the pre-construction and construction phases. • Women and Children: These refer to or constitute female students, and family members who reside or offer petty trading services within project implementation sites. In the early stages of implementation and subsequently, they could be faced with the need to engage in activities such as petty trading and hawking, and may be harassed by impatient parents, partners, spouses or guardians. They may also be at risk to SH and SEA from workers or even out-patients visiting healthcare facilities. • Persons with Disabilities: Negative impacts may be associated to restriction of movement and access to work areas during construction phases especially for those living within the specific project corridors. Barricaded or waste stacked routes or work areas may restrict and impede movement of staff living with disabilities to their office blocks. • Elderly Persons: Although this group of vulnerable people were not seen during field visits, it’s imperative to put them into cognisance, as they might easily be susceptible to adverse environmental and social impacts associated with the intervention works. • Mechanics, Garri Sellers, Carpenter and Welders: These may be physically and economically displaced at Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre as a result of the intervention works, (to be addressed in a stand- alone ARAP). Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs): Identified NGOs which provide humanitarian services within the project corridor include 1. Faith Alive Foundation 2. Dream Hill Foundation 3. Eagle Eye Climate Change Initiative 4. M2414 Initiative 6.4 Stakeholders’ Engagement Summary With the outbreak and spread of COVID-19, the Government of Nigeria, imposed mandatory directives and guidelines to exercise a nationwide lockdown in some States of the country with strict adherence to social distancing, to avoid public gatherings in order to prevent and reduce the risk of the virus transmission. The stakeholder consultations for this ESMP Report were undertaken prior to and during the lockdown restrictions; this however was conducted in view of the “Public Consultations and Stakeholder Engagement in WB- supported Operations when there are Constraints on Conducting Public Meetings�. The major steps followed included i) permitting smaller meetings, and conducting consultations in small-group sessions, such as focus group meetings ii) conducting meetings through GSM phone conference calls, online channels, zoom and skype and iii) creation of online chatgroups appropriate for the purpose, based on the type and category of stakeholders; This section therefore provides a summary of the stakeholders’ engagement or consultation process. All consultations are summarized in a table format. Table 22 below shows the summary of stakeholders’ engagement. 179 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos.

FINAL REPORT Response / Clarifications (By the In response to concerns and questions raised by the stakeholders, the Consultant) Consultant stated the following: • The ESMP Consultant buttressed the need for the local community security to work in collaboration with the institute’s security, as well as collaboration with the Contractor’s security personnel when implementation commences. This will first build good working relationships between all parties, and aid in the synergy of executing security responsibilities both on-site and in the communities. • With regards the request from the LEA Primary School, the Consultant explained that the World Bank has different projects under its funding in Nigeria, and that the MinDiver Project only focuses on strengthening national mining infrastructure. So, it is targeted towards structures owned by the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development. Nonetheless, there are Bank funded projects that address educational sector needs, and are therefore conceptualized to implement sub-projects that could solve the issues peculiar to primary education infrastructure. • With respect to labour influx and curbing of social vices, it is expected of the contractor to identify local workforce from around the community, both skilled and unskilled. A CESMP will be prepared by the Contractor, which includes Labour Influx Management, and certain cadre levels of Code of Conducts etc. • Accordingly, the power for employment in these institutions, is vested with the Civil Service Commission. This means that the Heads of these project-related establishments, cannot guarantee employment. However, access to healthcare facilities is granted. This is quite evident at the NIMG permanent site. • The intervention works in NIMG old site specifically, may result in minor adverse impacts on traffic, considering that the Metropolitan Avenue has only one entrance and exit point. An alternative route would have been recommended temporarily. Since none exist, and in order to be proactive in the management of anticipated traffic obstructions, a Traffic Management Plan (TMP). Will be prepared. This will also cover some portions of other locations such as the MCRC (Kashim Ibrahim Road) and NMDC (Zaria Road). • It is good to identify such skilled labour and encourage gender inclusiveness. Importantly, Bank funded projects are keen on gender equality, participation and inclusiveness. As part of the Contractors responsibilities, the MinDiver Project through its Safeguards Unit will expect and encourage the employment of women during implementation of intervention works. Proactively, the ESMP will also include some guidelines for employing women in construction projects with emphasis on SH and SEA. • For comments raised by representatives from Dong community, West of Mines, Unity Bank and Vehicle Spare Parts Association (Zaria Road), the Consultant informed that in order to be proactive in the management of anticipated traffic obstructions, a Traffic Management Plan (TMP). Will be prepared.

FINAL REPORT Items Description relationship with SH/SEA/VAC and how these are tied to the sub- projects. • The Stakeholders were informed that Contractor’s and their personnel will be trained on proper conduct and issued to a minimum, three levels of Codes of Conduct. • Finally, the Consultant also sensitized stakeholders on STDs, STIs and unwanted pregnancies. 6.4.2GBV Risk Management Mechanisms Overall, GBV risks in the project target areas might include Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), public harassment including harassment, verbal insults, physical abuse, and rape. Targeted support to women under the program could likely exacerbate these risks. Development and implementation of specific GBV risk prevention and mitigation strategies, tailored to local contexts, will be critical. Guidelines for situation analysis of GBV and safe reporting guidelines in line with international best practices will be implemented. Essentially, the Bank, strongly considers gender equality in the implementation of community-based projects and the issue of GBV. Hence, for this proposed project, SH/SEA requirements and contractor code of conduct will be included in the bidding documents (‘pre-qualification’ and ‘employers’ requirements’). As such specific measures to reduce and mitigate the risk of SH/SEA in the project will include: 6.4.3 Sexual Harassment in Construction The subsequent subsections detail simple, yet practicable approaches towards management of SH issues in the proposed project. 6.4.3.1 How to Prevent Sexual Harassment during the Project With regards to SH/SEA, the MinDiver PIU may need to procure a GBV specialist to undertake further assessments peradventure unforeseen SH/SEA issues arise as a result of project-related activities. The activities of the GBV specialist would be to: (i) identify the risks of SH/SEA , including social and capacity assessment and include measures for their mitigation in project design; (ii) address risks (if any) by identifying and implementing appropriate SH/SEA risks mitigation and monitoring measures during project implementation – applying survival centred approach; (iii) respond to any identified SH/SEA incidence whether related to the project or not, ensuring that effective monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, which meets the World Bank’s internal safeguards and SH/SEA reporting requirements are in place to report on such incidence and to monitor follow up. It is important to note that SH/SEA risks assessment is a continuous process and should take place throughout the project’s lifecycle as SH/SEA can occur at any moment. Subsequently, this ESMP provides preliminary guidance to addressing SH/SEA on the project. Proposed project sites are traditionally male-dominated. The following is a list of best practices that should be followed for proposed project: 1. Prevent Sexual Harassment during Implementation: Promoting partner and institutional change by requiring policies and procedures to counter sexual harassment in the workplace can be a powerful strategy for helping prevent SH/SEA and protecting workers. ✓ Require sexual harassment policies for MinDiver Contractors Sexual harassment policy requirements can be written into contracts, M&E plans, and compliance auditing. Contractors should establish written human resources management procedures so that 188 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT workers can report incidences of sexual harassment without fear of reprisal, and educate workers about such policies and procedures. ✓ Require Contractors and Consultants to adopt policies that prohibit discrimination and exploitation, harassment. Women entering traditionally male-dominated work places, such as the construction sector, can be subjected to discrimination and harassment. Advocating for safe and fair work conditions for women will increase their productive capacity and income-generating potential. 2. Appropriate Response Mechanisms: MinDiver PIU can collaborate with local stakeholders, including women’s groups, religious leaders, local politicians, and judicial systems to identify forms of GBV in the local context. This can be used to inform policies to provide safe avenues for SH/SEA survivors to report incidences. Additionally, collaboration with local communities to identify appropriate methods to address SH/SEA that might occur during implementation will be of great value. Furthermore, consultations with GBV experts at the level of statutory institutions (i.e. Nigerian Labour Council) will be useful in creating written policies that clearly identify what is and what is not tolerated by project employees. Furthermore, the project GRM should also have SH/SEA sensitive reporting channels and a well-defined referral pathway 3. Training and Empowering Women as Technicians: Provide opportunities for women to be trained as technicians. Training women as repair technicians empowers women in their community by building confidence and providing economic growth. Having female technicians not only empowers the women who are trained and working, but also makes women in the communities feel safer. Often, women are uncomfortable when men have to enter women’s spaces, such as bathrooms, changing rooms, or homes when males are not present. Training women technicians is especially important for cultures where men are prohibited from entering traditionally women’s spaces, making the project more effective and efficient, as well as providing financial security to the trained women. In summary, the MinDiver PIU will ensure: • SH/SEA assessment of project; • Mandatory contractors’ code of conduct on sexual harassment; • Appointment of NGO to monitor SH/SEA in the project area; • Community and workers’ sensitization on SH/SEA; • Provision of referral units for survivors of SH/SEA; • Provisions in contracts for dedicated payments to contractors for SH/SEA prevention activities against evidence of completion; Contractor and PIU requirement to ensure a minimum target of female employment with incremental rewards of the obtainment of this target.

FINAL REPORT CHAPTER SEVEN GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM 7.1 INTRODUCTION This Chapter has been prepared in reference to the already existing MinDiver GRM (M-GRM) document and as such, contains excerpts from the developed GRM. Therefore, the contents therein are a summary of key areas relevant to the subprojects for this ESMP. The M-GRM can be accessed at the MinDiver PIU Office, Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, 2 Luanda Crescent, off Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja, Nigeria. During the implementation of the MinDiver project and during the operation phase of the different project facilities, conflicts and grievances of various shades and dimensions are likely to occur. Following this background, the MinDiver under the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD) will operate the GRM prepared for the MinDiver sub-projects with the objectives of promoting dialogue, and facilitating resolution of grievances and other forms of displeasure associated with the sub-projects. This Chapter on the GRM provides the roadmap for stakeholders to discuss and resolve grievances and channel such grievance in an acceptable, independent and institutionalized manner for resolving conflict coming from sub-project activities. The GRM for the sub-projects will adopt the provisions in the existing M-GRM, and will be applied at 3 levels namely; Community Level, State Level, and MinDiver (national) Level. The structure and composition of these levels have been further discussed in subsequent sections. The GRM will assist the PIU to ensure that deliberate processes and procedures are put in place to capture, assess and respond to concerns from project beneficiaries, project executors and the general public during the implementation of the project. This will ensure smooth implementation of the projects, timely and effectiveness in addressing problems that may be encountered during implementation. Adherently, the grievance procedures as contained in the M-GRM, will be made available to affected persons throughout the implementation period of the sub-projects. 7.2 Potential Grievances Related to the MinDiver Project Under the MinDiver project, the potential areas that grievances may arise from as a result of activities or inactivity include: • Disruption of public access and disturbance resulting to loss of business days and associated income • Delay in execution of project leading to breakdown of trust • Failure to generate opportunities for employment, training, supply or community development • Failure to follow-through on commitments in a given timeframe • Disruption to amenities, utilities and lifestyle • Loss of livelihood • Inappropriate/Inadequate or inequitable employee or contractor behaviour • Violation of human rights • Blockage of access routes and consequent traffic congestion on adjoining roads; • Heavy equipment movement and operation in public areas, • Accidents or injuries due to construction • Air pollution from construction machinery, • Mud on public roads, 191 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT • Soil and water pollution due to temporary activities; • Potential Risk of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse/Sexual Harassment of locals as a result of labour influx • Potential Risk of social conflict with communities as a result of labour influx; • Potential risk of conflict or grievance as a result of temporary land take, or involuntary resettlement along the project corridor; • Road accidents arising as a result of construction activities and inadequate signs or poor visibility of these signs by motorists or pedestrians along the construction sites etc. Interest Groups The key interest groups in this regard are: • Community based influencers supporting the project who are liable to be accused of benefit capture, exclusion and marginalization • Touts seeking employment, extortion and robbery opportunities; capable of starting unprovoked conflict • Local vigilantes, police, sanitation and other enforcement corps • Late night drivers, who will be more exposed to harassment and accidents • Commercial motorists and motorcyclists suffering traffic delays and exposure to accidents • Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) • Women groups • Trade Unions • Persons whose properties are acquired or damaged by project activities • Project employed labour • Youth groups • Local NGOs focused on Sanitation and Environment Disadvantaged or Vulnerable Groups Key disadvantaged or vulnerable groups identified are: • Teenage and adolescent females • Women and Children • Persons living with disabilities • Elderly people 7.3 Objectives of GRM The specific objectives of this GRM are as follows; a. Resolve grievances when they occur, and mitigate their consequences, as well as preventing them from escalating; b. Achieve resolution of MinDiver Project related grievances and conflicts in a transparent, timely and efficient manner; c. Achieve improvement and restore relationships among people and communities arising disputes or displeasure related to the MinDiver Project activities; d. Provide communication channels for aggrieved persons to express their displeasure and be heard; e. Improve stakeholder participation and decision making through dialogues and registration of grievances and conflicts; 192 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT f. Win the trust and confidence of project beneficiaries and stakeholders to create productive relationships between parties; and g. Allow communities to express views on negative impacts from construction, on contract workers, work quality, malpractice, and so on. 7.4 Key Steps and Processes for Handling Complaints at the GRM In line with the M-GRM, when a grievance is received and registered through the GRM, necessary steps will be taken to resolve the issues namely: (See Figure 43) a) Screening of the grievance b) Investigation of the grievance; c) Resolving and disposing of the conflict; d) Conclusion and registration of disposed cases; and e) Monitoring and tracking the grievance. Figure 43: Schematic illustration of steps in grievance uptake 7.5 Structure of Grievance Redress for the MinDiver Project A three-level redress system is planned to address all complaints during MinDiver project implementation. These include: • Community level • State level and • MinDiver (National) level. 7.6 First level of Redress: Community level The main targets at this level are the communities and all stakeholders in mining at the community level. At every community proposed for intervention, there shall be an established committee headed by a chairperson who shall be appointed by the traditional rulers in the community and trained to take up and handle complaints at the community level. The Committee shall comprise of: • Traditional leaders • Women leaders • Youth leaders 193 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT • Representative of Mines union/association/society/cooperatives • Community Based Organization (CBOs) The traditional leader shall appoint a chairperson and a secretary (preferably a woman) among the committee, who will relate directly with the MinDiver representative at the state level. This committee shall be available to receive complaints throughout the week for uptake and publicize the grievances / conflicts successfully handled if the conflict/grievance is resolved, monitor and track the complaint, through appropriate M-GRM levels. If not resolved refer to the next level (State Level). Where the complainant is still not satisfied refer to the PIU Allocation of grievance to an appropriate organ/structure by M-GRM Office. Communication to the aggrieved party about the steps to be taken in handling the grievance. Documentation of the complaints other than SH/SEA grievances, Grievance Screening at community, State or national level, Grievance receipt & Registration at community, State or national level, Project Implementation Unit. Once a complaint is received, the committee registers it, sends an acknowledgement to the complainant and screens to authenticate the complaints, investigates and recommend an action. All received complaints will be recorded on a form. Cases related to SH/SEA and personal details of the complainant will however, not be documented in the public grievance log book if the complainant decides to provide any information. The complainant / survivals confidentiality should be kept in mind when attending to any SH / SEA related complaint. Incidences should be referred to relevant authority or service provider. The outcome of the resolution should be made available to the complainant within 5 working days. Where the complainant is not satisfied with the recommendation, they shall be advised to report to the second level for redress, which is the state. The community committee will submit a monthly report on a form. 7.7 Second Level of Redress: State Level The main targets at this second level are the project implementers, executers (contractors, consultants) communities and project beneficiaries and their related institutions. At every state implementation level, a grievance handling committee shall be trained to handle MinDiver related complaints. The committee shall be headed and be supervised by the Federal Mines Officer appointed by MinDiver as the Chairperson of the committee. All stakeholders shall be informed of the existence of the grievance committee. The committee shall dedicate days when they are available to receive and resolve complaints. Once the committee receives a complaint, it shall be mandated to register the complaint, investigate and recommend an action. If the complainant is not satisfied with the recommendation, they shall be advised to report to the third level of redress (MinDiver). This committee shall be obligated to do a monthly report to Grievance handling team of MinDiver. 7.7.1 Complaint uptake/receipt at State level Any aggrieved person/organization/community shall be advised to register their complaints with any of the GRM committee member in each state as listed below: • Federal Mines Officer (FMO) • Environmental Compliance Officer at the State • Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining Officer (ASM) • Chairperson of the First Level GRM Committee • Representative of the Local Government Council concerned in the matter • Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) • Project Manager of the Executing Entity 7.8 Third Level of Redress: MinDiver GRM Unit (M-GRM) The main targets at this level are the mining companies, mining workers, mining communities and other mining stakeholders. There shall be a constituted MinDiver GRM Committee who shall work with the Grievance Handling Officer (Social Safeguards Specialist). The members of these committee shall be trained to operationalize the grievance handling processes. All stakeholders shall be informed of the existence of the grievance committee. Dedicate days shall be fixed to receive and resolve complaints. Once the committee receives a complaint it shall be mandated to register the complaint, investigate and recommend an action. If the complainant is not satisfied with the recommendation, they shall be advised to seek redress through Alternative 194 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Dispute Resolution (ADR). The MinDiver GRM committee shall be obligated to do a monthly report of registered complaints, using a form and submit it to the MinDiver PIU. 7.8.1 Complaint uptake/receipt points at M-GRM Any aggrieved person/community/organization shall be advised to register their complaints at the following points: i. The MinDiver Grievance Handling Officer (Social Safeguards Specialist) ii. Environmental Safeguards Specialist iii. MinDiver Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist (M&E) iv. Representative from the Technical Departments (MID, MEC & ASM) v. The MinDiver Project Coordinator 7.8.2 Timeline for resolution at National level At the national level, the resolution period will take maximum 21 calendar days and the concerned shall be notified through the GRM form. Should the grievance not be solved within this period, the complainant will be advised to seek recourse through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The GRM assumes a three-level mechanism namely; community level, state level and national level. All executing entities will be briefed on the GRM and are expected to follow its requirements as part of the oversight of their sub-project. The Executing entities representatives (site engineer CLO) will attend community sessions on GRM and Safeguards awareness or training run by PIU representatives. The Contractor is responsible for logging all complaints and other safeguards non-compliance incidences in the site day book (or equivalences) for inspection by the MINDIVER PIU. The contractor is also responsible to ensure that all minor complains are dealt with and resolved directly without any undue delays. The community members shall register their complaints with the Chairperson or secretary of the committee at the community level and specifically, a SH/SEA case should go through the women leader at the palace of the ward/community leader. 7.9 Awareness of GRM GRM should be given a wide publicity among stakeholder groups such as affected parties, government agencies, and civil society organizations. Effective awareness of GRM process makes people better understanding about their options, depending on the types of complaints. However, measures should also be taken to encourage stakeholders not to submit false claims. Criteria for eligibility need to be communicated and also awareness campaigns should be launched to give publicity to the roles and functions of the GRM. Awareness should include the following components: • Scope of the project, planned construction phases, etc.; • Types of GRCs available; purposes for which the different GRMs can be accessed, e.g., construction- related grievances, grievances related to physical and economic displacement, • Types of grievances not acceptable to the GRC. • Eligibility to access the GRM. • How complaints can be reported to those GRC and to whom, e.g., phone, postal and email addresses, as well as information that should be included in a complaint; • Procedures and time frames for initiating and concluding the grievance redress process; boundaries and limits of GRM in handling grievances; and roles of different agencies such as project implementer and funding agency. • A variety of methods can be adopted for communicating information to the relevant stakeholders. These methods could include display of posters in public places such as in government offices, project offices, community centers, hospitals and health clinics of the area. 195 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT Similarly, an effective awareness program should be arranged to educate the PAPs on the following: • Members of GRC and its location • Method of complaining or reporting the grievance • Taking part in the GRC meeting (is any companions of the complainant allowed) • The steps of resolving process and timeline adopted in this mechanism. • Needed documents and evidence to support of the complaint. This information should be part of a simple brochure that explains the different grievance redress possibilities for PAPs. 7.10 Reporting The Social Safeguard Officer of the PIU would prepare the Quarterly Report on the Grievance Redressal issues of the Project for addition into the quarterly report. The TC-GRC will review the nature of grievances that have been represented and if similar grievances are reported many times, suitable changes in implementation procedures/suitable policies would be worked out and recommended to State Level Steering Committee for consideration and needful action. 7.11 GRM Jurisdiction This is a project specific GRM and applicable to solve the concerns of the stakeholders of the Project. This is however not intended to bypass Governments own redress process; rather intended to address affected people’s concerns and complaints promptly, making it readily accessible to all segments of the affected people and is scaled to the risks and impacts of the Project. The Government Redress mechanism takes priority over this one. The Figure 44 below shows the flow chart for the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) Figure 44: Flowchart MinDiver GRM 196 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT CHAPTER EIGHT SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommendations are provided: i. It is strongly advised that in order to effectively manage HCWs in an environmentally sound and safe manner, especially in project facilities where civil works will be implemented in healthcare centres; that efforts are targeted to the provision of colour coded bags and bins in line with provisions of the National Healthcare Waste Management Guidelines (NHCWMG) (2013). Complimentarily, where cost implications may be high, the PIU should consider driving sustainable collaboration between its project beneficiaries and the respective SWMAs so that HCWs are managed properly. ii. Furthermore, one-one interviews with medical personnel and facility representatives from NIMG, presented suggestions towards implementing more expansions, modifications and enhancements at the healthcare facility located in the NIMG permanent site. Major reasons being that there are higher monthly out-patient numbers when compared to the facility located at the NIMG old site (100:3) respectively, thus the need for more healthcare facility related civil works to be implemented at the permanent site. iii. The current condition of the moulding pit in the EAF building at NMDC is such that it is made of earth and evident with cracks which allow groundwater to seep-in occasionally. This condition is a high-risk which could expose workers and the building to explosions during operations associated with the moulding pit if seepage is not thwarted. The Supervising Consultant must strictly supervise the Contractor’s work in the pit, specifically ensuring its properly lined with layers of impermeable material and suitable lining materials to resolve and impede groundwater intrusion in the pit. iv. Since the NMDC has an efficient and educationally advanced human resource assigned to its Environmental Pollution Control and Monitoring Department (EPCMD); the MinDiver Safeguards Unit may consider strengthening the role of the department to participate extensively in monitoring environmental performance during project implementation and more extensively during the project operation phase. With numerous laboratory and engineering activities ongoing in the NMDC, this department can assist in pollution assessments and technical advisory both in the short and long- term. Additionally, a major upgrade in terms of equipment and reagents is also needed. This could be a basis for the PIU to consider some level of equipment procurement to assist the EPCMD in carrying out this responsibility effectively. v. To avoid SH/SEA, the PIU should procure a GBV specialist for the purpose of identification of GBV risks, GBV mapping, mitigation and monitoring. Furthermore, strategies should be developed in order to provide opportunities for women to be trained as technicians. Training women as repair technicians empowers women in their community by building confidence and providing economic growth. Having female technicians not only empowers the women who are trained and working, but also makes women in the communities feel safer. vi. In the course of rehabilitation works, there would be a moderate to severe likelihood of the occurrence of workplace hazards. Personnel will be predisposed to hazards. “Unsafe behaviours� and “unsafe conditions� will pose a serious occupational health and safety risk. Occupational disasters happen more due to “unsafe behaviours� compared to “unsafe conditions�. Hence, project/site workers should be trained on unsafe behaviours and be provided with necessary equipment to practice safe behaviours. Further, the necessary facilities to facilitate safe conditions and discourage unsafe behaviours should be made available to workers; vii. For effective waste management, on site, the KSEPA, PEPSA and NISEPA should be in control of proper collection and disposal of construction wastes Furthermore, the Contractor should implement the waste management plan during the period of project implementation. 197 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT viii. Construction Safety signs boards and work area lightening should be installed to protect workers and the public around the construction sites ix. Priority should be given to local workers during project implementation to stimulate local socioeconomic activities, improve livelihood and poverty reduction in the affected communities. Ensure affected communities are assisted and have a voice in appropriation of mitigation measures. x. The Safeguard Unit of the PIU including the PIU M&E Specialist and Supervising Consultant should ensure active monitoring so that the contractor adheres strictly to the requirements of this ESMP especially in the application of mitigation measures during project implementation. xi. Sharing of IEC materials to contractors for mitigation measure during civil works. Examples are as shown below.

FINAL REPORT ANNEX 1 TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA MINISTRY OF MINES AND STEEL DEVELOPMENT MINERAL SECTOR SUPPORT FOR ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION PROJECT (MinDiver) Terms of Reference for the Preparation of Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) for the rehabilitation and construction of priority infrastructures in Niger, Kaduna and Plateau States 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Federal Government of Nigeria has obtained a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) to fund the Mineral Sector Support for Economic Diversification (MinDiver) Project. The project has the following development objectives: a. To improve the attractiveness of the Nigerian Mining sector, as a driver for economic diversification, for long-term private sector investment in the exploration and production of minerals. b. To create a globally competitive sector capable of contributing to wealth creation, providing jobs and advancing our social and human security. 2.0 BACKGROUND The Federal Government of Nigeria has embarked on an economic diversification campaign with the aim of leveraging on the Nation’s vast natural resources to diversify the economy from the oil and gas sector to achieve economic emancipation. The sector’s growth and contributions to GDP have remained less than ideal, accounting for only about 0.33% in 2015. To address this, the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD) recently developed a roadmap for mining growth and development with objectives to deepen sector reforms, attract new investors and collaborate with a wide network of partners and stakeholders to rejuvenate the sector and build a prosperous economy propelled by inflows from the solid minerals sector. The objective of the MinDiver Project is to link with the Roadmap and enhance the mining sector’s contribution to the economy by strengthening key government institutions, improving information infrastructure and knowledge, and fostering domestic investment in the sector. The Project consists of the following parts: Part A. Establishing a Strong Foundation for Mining Sector Development 1. Carrying out of a program of activities designed to strengthen the MMSD’s capacity for governance and admi nistration of the mining sector; 2. Carrying out of a program of activities designed to strengthen the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency as well as geological knowledge and information infrastructure for the mining sector, 3. Implementing a program of activities designed to strengthen the Recipient’s capacity for management of environmental, health and social impacts in the sector, in particular, preparation the Environmental and Social Management Plans (“ESMPs�) and implementation. Part B. Facilitating Downstream Sector Development and Enhancing Competitiveness 1. Strengthening administration of the artisanal and small-scale mining sub-sector, 2. Implementing a program of activities designed to leverage the mineral sector for regional development 3.

FINAL REPORT 4. Implementing a program of activities designed to advance proof-of-concept investments and to attract private sector investments Part C. Project Management and Coordination 1. Strengthening the capacity of the MMSD for implementation, supervision and management of the Project through the provision of goods, consulting services, non-consulting services, operating costs and training for the purpose. 2. Supporting quality control of Project activities and outputs as well as monitoring and evaluation of Project outputs and results. This technical assistance project intends to improve governance and the enabling environment of the mining sector. While it would help to create a more favourable enabling environment for the expansion of large-scale mining as well as ASM in Nigeria, the project would also seek to ensure that the accompanying environmental and social challenges are adequately addressed. For this reason, the project is supporting the preparation of Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the rehabilitation of priority infrastructures in Niger, Kaduna and Plateau States. 3.0 GOAL OF THE ASSIGNMENT The goal of this assignment is to prepare an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the construction and rehabilitation of priority infrastructures, currently identified in Kaduna, Jos and Suleja sites under the MINDIVER Project. More specifically, the goal of the assignment is to achieve the following: 1. To identify and assess potential environmental and social impacts of the project; 2. To identify all potential significant adverse environmental and social impacts, of the projects and recommend measures for mitigation; 3. To develop an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP); and 4. To prepare an ESMP report compliant to the World Bank policy and Nigerian government detailing findings and recommendations. 4.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED INTERVENTION The proposed scope of civil works to be carried out include the construction, renovation and rehabilitation of existing priority infrastructures at the following centers: 1.

In line with the above, MinDiver intends to engage the services of an Individual Consultant to prepare Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMP/s) prior to commencement of civil works. The construction and rehabilitation works will be governed by a construction contract containing comprehensive specifications for ensuring public safety and routine environmental protection. 5.0 OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT The specific objective of the study will be to assess the potential environmental and social impacts of the proposed works as described above in the scope of work and prepare site specific Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMP/s) to document the project’s risk management strategy, including measures to reduce the negative impacts. The study will be carried out to establish modalities of implementing the projects in line with Nigeria environmental policies and laws, State Ministry of Environment and the World Bank environmental and social safeguard policies. This Terms of Reference (TOR) is to request a consultant with extensive experience and skill in the preparation of an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP/s) for the rehabilitation and construction of priority infrastructures, 202 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT currently planned in Niger, Kaduna and Plateau States respectively. The Consultant is expected to make reference to the environmental and social screening reports, technical designs/drawing, specific description of intervention works of the proposed infrastructures to be rehabilitated or constructed, Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) and the Resettlement Policy Frameworks (RPF). The documents should be obtained from the Project Implementation Unit (PIU). 6.0 SCOPE OF WORK The ESMP should consist of a well-documented set of mitigation measures, monitoring, and institutional actions to be taken before and during implementation to eliminate adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them, or reduce them to acceptable levels.

FINAL REPORT ANNEX 7: TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN In general, a Traffic Management Plan is required for all projects that could have an impact on: • MOBILITY - including interruptions to pedestrians, cyclists and vehicular traffic; and • COMMUNITY - including interruptions to surrounding businesses and residents from construction activity and worker parking needs. The objective of this TMP is to guide traffic control operations or procedures of the Contractors. Components of the Traffic Management Plan The proposed TMP for the rehabilitation of priority infrastructures in Suleja, Jos and Kaduna should to a minimum address the following: The Contractor should designate a TMP Supervisor who will oversee traffic management for the proposed project. Traffic Management Plan for the project will address the following: a) Safety Signage: Safety signage will be put up at strategic points. This would inform motorists that there might be increase vehicular movement during the pre-construction phase. These signages will indicate that there are “Men at Work�. Caution is most required by motorists, cyclist and pedestrians moving plying these roads b) Alternative Routes: The Contractor will install signages informing residents within the project corridors of alternative route. c) Communication: The Contractor with support from the PIU, will prepare a communication protocol which will be shared with the communities within the project corridor. The communication protocol will provide a stepwise approach to informing residents about traffic plan alterations 48hrs before they are implemented. Communication with communities will be directly facilitated by the Contractor’s Community Liaison Officer and the Secretary of each respective Landlords or Community Association. Additionally, communications should be made with the PIU, FRSC and Community associations a week prior to notifying the general populace. d) Time of Movement: Contractor should restrict movement of equipment to a defined time. Movement of equipment could be scheduled before 6am or after 11am. Also, 24hrs notice should be given to residents prior to movement of equipment e) Liaisons with Government Traffic Agencies. The TMP will ensure liaisons with the FRSC. In situations where heavy traffic impacts are envisaged, the Contractor will liaise with the FRSC to ensure traffic coordination and mitigate adverse traffic impacts. The contractor shall ensure that movement of heavy-duty vehicles are done against peak hours of the day, and also ensure that all construction activities are performed in accordance with the approved Traffic Management Plan. 222 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos.

FINAL REPORT ANNEX 9 ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PLAN Introduction Currently, most structures in the selected project facilities for rehabilitation works have Asbestos ceiling installed. The proposed rehabilitation works will include the removal and replacement of Asbestos in these facilities. The process of removal of asbestos can predispose workers and nearby environment to asbestosis from the release of asbestos dust during the removal, transportation and disposal processes. This is grossly undesirable. The Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) has therefore been prepared to serve as a guideline for the removal, temporal onsite storage (where necessary), transportation and final disposal of removed asbestos. It outlines the requirements and procedures for proper management of this material from removal to final disposal, in a manner that poses no threat to human health or the immediate environment. The Contractor shall ensure to collaborate with the State Waste Management Agency (SWMA) for the final disposal of removed asbestos to designated dumpsite within the state licenced to dispose hazardous waste. The approved dumpsites for the disposal of asbestos were identified during the stakeholder consultation in conjunction with the Plateau Environmental Protection and Sanitation Agency (PEPSA) and Kaduna State Environmental Protection Agency (KEPA). For Jos, the approved site is at Mista Ali, Bassa LGA and that of Kaduna is located at Gonin Gora and Buruku in Chikun LGA respectively. However, for effective management of asbestos waste, and in line with the provisions of the standard operating procedures of PEPSA and KEPA ; all generated waste will be managed by the respective State Environmental Protection Agencies (SEPA). The Table below highlights the various components of the AMP for all the other project facilities except Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre, Suleja as the structures have concrete decked roofs. 228 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos.

For each repair, the Contractor shall obtain from the owner a certificate that the damage has been made good satisfactorily in order to indemnify the Client from subsequent claims. 52. In cases where compensation for inconveniences, damage of assets etc. are claimed by the owner, the Client has to be informed by the Contractor through the SE. This compensation is in general settled under the responsibility of the Client before signing the Contract. In unforeseeable cases, the respective administrative entities of the Client will take care of compensation. Contractor’s Health, Safety and Environment Management Plan (HSE-MP) 53. Within 6 weeks of signing the Contract, the Contractor shall prepare an EHS-MP to ensure the adequate management of the health, safety, environmental and social aspects of the works, including implementation of the requirements of these general conditions and any specific requirements of an ESMP for the works. The Contractor’s EHS-MP will serve two main purposes: • For the Contractor, for internal purposes, to ensure that all measures are in place for adequate HSE management, and as an operational manual for his staff. • For the Client, supported where necessary by a SE, to ensure that the Contractor is fully prepared for the adequate management of the HSE aspects of the project, and as a basis for monitoring of the Contractor’s HSE performance. 54. The Contractor’s EHS-MP shall provide at least: • A description of procedures and methods for complying with these general environmental management conditions, and any specific conditions specified in an ESMP; • A description of specific mitigation measures that will be implemented in order to minimize adverse impacts; • A description of all planned monitoring activities (e.g. sediment discharges from borrow areas) and the reporting thereof; and • The internal organizational, management and reporting mechanisms put in place for such. 55. The Contractor’s EHS-MP will be reviewed and approved by the Client before start of the works. This review should demonstrate if the Contractor’s EHS-MP covers all of the identified impacts, and has defined appropriate measures to counteract any potential impacts. HSE Reporting 240 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT 56. The Contractor shall prepare bi-weekly progress reports to the SE on compliance with these general conditions, the project ESMP if any, and his own EHS-MP. An example format for a Contractor HSE report is given below. It is expected that the Contractor’s reports will include information on: • HSE management actions/measures taken, including approvals sought from local or national authorities; • Problems encountered in relation to HSE aspects (incidents, including delays, cost consequences, etc. as a result thereof); • Lack of compliance with contract requirements on the part of the Contractor; • Changes of assumptions, conditions, measures, designs and actual works in relation to HSE aspects; and • Observations, concerns raised and/or decisions taken with regard to HSE management during site meetings. 57. It is advisable that reporting of significant HSE incidents be done “as soon as practicable�. Such incident reporting shall therefore be done individually. Also, it is advisable that the Contractor keeps his own records on health, safety and welfare of persons, and damage to property. It is advisable to include such records, as well as copies of incident reports, as appendixes to the bi-weekly reports. Example formats for an incident notification and detailed report are given below. Details of HSE performance will be reported to the Client through the SE’s reports to the Client. Training of Contractor’s Personnel 58. The Contractor shall provide sufficient training to his own personnel to ensure that they are all aware of the relevant aspects of these general conditions, any project ESMP, and his own EHS- MP, and are able to fulfil their expected roles and functions. Specific training should be provided to those Employees that have particular responsibilities associated with the implementation of the EHS-MP. General topics should be: • HSE in general (working procedures); emergency procedures; and social and cultural aspects (awareness raising on social issues). Cost of Compliance 59. It is expected that compliance with these conditions is already part of standard good workmanship and state of art as generally required under this Contract. The item “Compliance with Environmental Management Conditions� in the Bill of Quantities covers these costs. No oth er payments will be made to the Contractor for compliance with any request to avoid and/or mitigate an avoidable HSE impact.

FINAL REPORT ANNEX 14 COVID-19 Guidance for WBG/IMF Contractors in Country Offices/Overseas Office This document has been prepared to enable Contractors procured by the MinDiver PIU, carry out their respective activities and duties such that there is compliance to NCDC Guidelines on COVID-19 Prevention and Control during implementation of civil works. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2. Our understanding of how the virus spreads is evolving as we learn more about it, so check the www.ncdc.gov.ng for the latest information and current list of symptoms. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person to person: • Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). • Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Recent studies indicate that the virus can be spread by people who are not showing symptoms. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus. Older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions may be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. As a construction worker, how can I protect myself and slow the spread? Potential sources of exposure include having close contact with a coworker or member of the public who is ill with COVID-19 and touching your nose, mouth, or eyes after touching surfaces contaminated with the virus or handling items that others infected with COVID-19 have touched. Actions you can take include the following: • Notify your supervisor and stay home if you have symptoms. • Follow NCDC-recommended steps if you are sick. You should not return to work until the criteria to discontinue home isolation are met, in consultation with healthcare providers, your employer, and state and local health departments. • Follow NCDC-recommended precautions and notify your supervisor if you are well but have a sick family member at home with COVID-19. • Limit close contact with others by maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet, when possible. ✓ Limit the number of workers in small workspace areas such as job site elevators, trailers and vehicles, and spaces under construction if possible. • NCDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, especially in areas where there is significant community-based transmission of COVID-19. ✓ Cloth face coverings may prevent people who don’t know they have the virus from transmitting it to others. • Cloth face coverings are NOT surgical masks or respirators and are not appropriate substitutes for them in workplaces where masks or respirators are recommended or required. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as shared tools, machines, vehicles and other equipment, handrails, ladders, doorknobs, and portable toilets. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces periodically throughout the shift but also: ✓ At the beginning and end of every shift ✓ After anyone uses your vehicle, tools, or workstation • Limit tool sharing if possible. Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT • Practice proper hand hygiene. This is an important infection control measure. With appropriate hand hygiene, you do not need gloves to protect you from COVID-19. When possible, wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol. ✓ Key times to clean hands include: ➢ Before and after work shifts and breaks ➢ After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing ➢ After using the restroom ➢ Before eating and before and after preparing food ➢ After touching objects which have been handled by coworkers, such as tools and equipment ➢ Before putting on and after taking off work gloves ➢ After putting on, touching, or removing cloth face coverings ➢ Before donning or doffing eye or face protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.) ✓ Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. ✓ Use tissues when you cough, sneeze, or touch your face. Throw used tissues in the trash and wash your hands or use hand sanitizer containing 60% alcohol if a sink to wash your hands is not available. What steps should my employer take? Employers should have a COVID-19 response plan to protect workers, following NCDC Interim Guidance for Businesses and Employers, and share this plan with you and your coworkers in languages you all understand. Small construction businesses should review the NCDC small business guidelines. Your employer should take steps to: Reduce transmission among workers: • Take steps to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 if an employee is sick. ✓ Actively encourage sick employees to stay home. ✓ Sick employees diagnosed with COVID-19 shouldn’t return to work until the criteria to discontinue home isolation are met, in consultation with healthcare providers and state and local health departments. • Provide employees with accurate information (in a language they understand) about COVID-19, how it spreads, and risk of exposure. ✓ Provide workers with basic facts. ✓ Conduct toolbox talks on all job sites to explain the protective measures in place. • Be aware that some employees may be at higher risk for severe illness. Implement specific policies to minimize face-to-face contact for these employees or assign work tasks that allow them to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from other workers, customers, and visitors, or to telework if possible. • Provide training to employees on proper handwashing practices and other routine preventative measures. This will help prevent the spread of many diseases, including COVID-19. • Provide employees with access to soap, clean running water, and materials for drying their hands, or if soap and water are not readily available provide alcohol-based hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol at stations around the establishment for use by both workers and customers. ✓ Place handwashing stations and/or hand sanitizers in multiple locations (including in or adjacent to portable restrooms) to encourage hand hygiene. • Explore alternative ways to promote hand hygiene if there is difficulty sourcing hand sanitizer and running water is not available on site. Some examples may include: ✓ Install accessible temporary or mobile handwashing stations, making sure there is enough water, soap, and a way for people to dry their hands (e.g., paper towels, hand dryer). ✓ Provide a large (5+ gallon) bucket with a lid and tap that can be used to provide water for handwashing. If this method is used, the water tap should be regularly cleaned and disinfected, Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT and the contaminated wastewater must be collected and treated in accordance with local laws and environmental regulations. Provide fresh clean water daily. ✓ Depending on the size or configuration of the job site, there may need to be multiple handwashing stations available to accommodate the workforce while maintaining social distancing, and stations may need to be restocked during the course of the day to maintain adequate handwashing supplies. • Develop and implement social distancing guidance for the workplace to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet between workers when possible. Maintain a healthy work environment • Institute measures to physically separate and increase distance between employees, such as the following: ✓ Modify work schedules to stagger work, provide alternating workdays or extra shifts to reduce the total number of workers on a job site at any given time. ✓ Restrict access to reduce the number of workers in enclosed and confined areas at one time. Confined and enclosed areas (e.g., trailers, small rooms in buildings under construction) should be identified and access should be restricted to essential personnel only. Enclosed spaces (e.g., toilets, break areas) are potential transmission areas and should be treated accordingly. Time spent in these areas should be minimized. ✓ Rearrange administrative area workstations so that workers can stay at least 6 feet away from other workers. ✓ Install shields or barriers, such as plexiglass barriers, where possible. ✓ Remove or rearrange chairs and tables or add visual cue marks in break areas to support social distancing practices between workers. Identify alternative areas to accommodate overflow volume. ✓ Disinfect break or lunchroom areas between each group using the areas. ✓ Maintain social distancing when visiting lunch trucks or construction site vendors. ✓ Limit casual (social) conversations that normally occur at work. ✓ Cancel or postpone in-person meetings/trainings whenever possible. If you must meet, spread out to a distance of 6 feet or more between attendees. ✓ Reduce the number of individuals at meetings, including worker orientations, to increase the distance between individuals. • Conduct a hazard assessment to determine if hazards are present, or are likely to be present, for which workers may need personal protective equipment (PPE). NCDC has recommended PPE for some types of work activities when engineering and administrative controls cannot be implemented or are not fully protective. ✓ Employers are required to determine, select, provide, and train on correct PPE use and application for their workers’ specific job duties. • Place posters that encourage staying home when sick, cough and sneeze etiquette, signs and symptoms of COVID-19, and proper hand hygiene practices at the entrance to the workplace and in other workplace areas where they are likely to be seen. • Provide tissues and no-touch disposal receptacles for employees to use. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces. If the surfaces are visibly dirty, clean them prior to disinfecting. To disinfect, use products that meet NCDC and NAFDAC’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2 such as diluted household bleach solutions that are prepared according to the manufacturer’s label for disinfection, or alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol, and that are appropriate for the surface. Follow manufacturer’s directions for use. ✓ Clean workspaces and breakrooms at least once per shift or as often as workers change workstations. ✓ Provide worker training on manufacturer’s directions for disinfectant use and provide workers with any additional PPE required for disinfection. Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT • Provide disposable disinfectant wipes (when available) so that surfaces commonly touched can be wiped down. • Follow all applicable local, state, and federal regulations and public health agency guidelines. Maintain healthy business operations ✓ Designate a safety and health officer to be responsible for responding to COVID-19 concerns at every jobsite. Workers should know who this person is and how to contact them. ✓ Implement flexible sick leave and supportive policies and practices. Consider drafting non-punitive emergency sick leave policies if sick leave is not offered to some or all employees. Employers should not require a positive COVID-19 test result or a healthcare provider’s note for employees who are sick to validate their illness, qualify for sick leave, or to return to work. ✓ Provide information on whom to contact if employees become sick. If an employee is confirmed to have COVID-19 infection, employers should inform fellow employees of their possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace but maintain confidentiality. ✓ Reach out to local public health officials to establish ongoing communications to facilitate access to relevant information before and during a local outbreak. Where can I get more information? Stay informed. Talk to your employer, supervisor, Supervisory Consultant, or MinDiver PIU representative who is responsible for responding to COVID-19 concerns.

FINAL REPORT NNCDC Interim Guidance for Businesses and Employers to Plan and Respond to COVID-19 (GENERAL) This document has been produced to provide guidance to contractors and construction employees within Nigeria, in relation to the current COVID-19 situation. General hygiene requirements All employees should observe the following general personal hygiene requirements at work; • Wash hands or use an alcohol-based sanitiser as soon as they enter office premises. Ensure hands are washed hands after using the washroom, before eating and regularly throughout the work day, ensuring colleagues follow this advice too. • Encourage employees to cover their nose and mouth with tissue when coughing or sneezing, followed by washing of hands. Alternatively, sneezing or coughing into their bent elbow if no tissue is available. Used tissues should immediately be disposed of in a covered bin, and not left lying around on any public surfaces • Ensure provision of covered bins in office and business premises • Office and business premises should be cleaned and disinfected daily, especially frequently touched surfaces like tables, door handles, countertops, computers, light and air conditioner switches which should be cleaned frequently during the day • Keep all offices well ventilated, opening windows regularly to enable fresh air How can employers reduce the risk of spreading covid-19? Employers and businesses should take the following measures to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 in the workplace; • Provide handwashing facilities/alcohol-based sanitisers – promote thorough and frequent handwashing, with soap and water for at least 20 seconds • Ensure extensive temperature checks on entry into office and business premises • Mandate the use of non-medical face mask/covering for all staff at all times • Develop physical distancing strategies within the office or business environment to safeguard the health and safety of employees, in line with guidelines set out by the NCDC • Where staff members have regular face-to-face contact with customers, ensure they have the necessary protective equipment to keep them safe and their health protected • Develop an infectious disease preparedness action plan to reduce the risk of exposure in the workplace and communicate it to all staff members. This includes identifying a central person focused on coordinating COVID- 19 matters • Ensure the contact details and emergency contact details of all staff members is kept up to date and is always easily accessible • Ensure that staff members know how to spot the symptoms of coronavirus and they have a clear understanding what to do if they feel unwell, mandating unwell employees to stay at home • Display signage in your office or business premises reminding staff and visitors to maintain good and respiratory hygiene • Discourage the sharing of work equipment, tools, computers, phones and desks Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT How can employers adapt business practices to reduce the spread of covid-19? • Develop policies and practices that enable employees to work more flexibly and remotely i.e. working from home and leverage technology to arrange virtual meetings with employees and clients • Ensure adequate space between employees (minimum 2 metres) • Limit customers in the business premises to allow for physical distancing • Decide on the level of staff required to come to work, as the business re-opens, e.g. support staff, receptionists, catering staff. • Consider the staggered re-introduction of staff members into the office, using staff rosters and flexible work hours or work shifts • Where possible, businesses should provide transportation for their employees to limit their use of public transport • Limit the number of visitors to your office premises and take advantage of enterprise video conferencing tools • Put into place flexible workplace policies to respond to staff absenteeism, with an efficient process to ensure the smooth handover of work from one staff member to the other when required • Take advantage of delivery companies to limit staff Is this What to do if there is a case of suspected covid-19 in your workplace? If any employee is showing known symptoms of COVID-19, they should immediately self-isolate in a separate room in the office or business premises and call the state helpline or contact NCDC on 0800 9700 0010 for further guidance. While awaiting laboratory test results, employee should be on self-isolation and employers should carry out a risk assessment to ascertain whether there is a need to close the office or business premises. Employers or businesses may also encourage staff to work from home until the outcome of test results is known. Employers should also continue to ensure basic hygiene advice is followed, work premises are kept clean and waste is disposed of appropriately. Once the results are available, business owners will be advised accordingly. What to do if a case of covid-19 is confirmed in your workplace? The State Ministry of Health will contact the workplace to discuss the case, identify people who have been close contacts of the employee and advise on further actions or precautions that should be taken, based on assessment of the work premises which would include shutting down temporarily and disinfecting the premises. Employee who are contacts would be asked to self-isolate for 14 days from the last time they had contact with the confirmed case. Employees who are living in a household with a confirmed case of COVID-19, should also be asked to self-isolate for 14 days until all members in the household receive a negative test confirmation. If they develop known COVID-19 symptoms during the self-isolation period, they should contact their state helpline or NCDC on 0800 9700 0010. The definition of a contact includes: • Any staff member in close face-to-face or touching contact including those undertaking small group work (within 2 metres of the case) • Talking with or being coughed on for any length of time while the individual is symptomatic • Anyone who has cleaned up any bodily fluids of the individual • Close friendship groups • Any staff member living in the same household as a confirmed case, or equivalent setting Where do I get accurate information from? Be aware that media speculation is rife about COVID-19 and not everything you read in the newspapers or online or hear is accurate or verified.

FINAL REPORT ANNEX 15 LABOUR INFLUX MANAGEMENT PLAN The Labour Influx Management Plan for the rehabilitation of priority infrastructure in Kaduna, Niger and Plateau States, under the MinDiver Project should to a minimum address specific activity that will be undertaken to minimize the impacts of labour influx on the local project communities. Elements for managing labour influx risks under the proposed project include: • The Contractor should endeavour to reduce labour influx by tapping into the local workforce : This is the most effective mitigation measure against labour influx. To avoid and mitigate impacts of influx, it is paramount that the MinDiver PIU ensures that its Contractors make use of unskilled workforce, which is recruited locally. Depending on the requirements of the sub-project and the skill level of the workforce, it may be possible to train local workers within a reasonable timeframe to meet project requirements. This may be more likely because some of the local workforce could be the facility staff members. Such trained staff are needed afterwards for the operation and maintenance of the rehabilitated facilities. • Establishment of worker codes of conduct : The Supervising Engineer and Safeguards Unit of the SPIU should ensure that Contractors establish a workers’ Code of Conduct (CoC). The CoC will help mitigate some of the social and environmental impacts of labour influx such as risk of social conflict, Increased risk of illicit behaviour and crime, Increased burden on and competition for public service provision, Wastewater discharges, inadequate waste disposal and illegal waste disposal sites etc., will help keep workers (local/foreign) in check on the rules and regulations binding their engagement. • Training programs: Conduct and ensure key staff including contractors, receive training regarding the likelihood, significance, and management of influx-related issues such as spread of HIV/AIDS, GBV, SEA, VAC etc. • Carry out Regular Monitoring: The MinDiver PIU should monitor for change throughout the project cycle on labour influx related mitigation compliance and on mitigation effectiveness from projects/contractors. Ensure a documented monitoring program that tracks key social outcomes, changes and issues at regular intervals throughout the project lifecycle The Cost for mitigating the risk of Labour Influx, and the cost of monitoring has been captured in the ESMP tables for each of the project facilities, and presented below: Table below shows the cost for implementing Labour Influx Management Plan in the 5 intervention sites NIMG NMDC NGRL NSRMEA Ladi Kwali Mitigation Mitigation Mitigation Mitigation Mitigation USD 2,289 USD 2,184 USD 2,158 USD 1,211 USD 2,088 NGN 1,900,000 NGN 830,000 NGN 820,000 NGN 460,000 NGN 790,000 Monitoring Monitoring Mitigation Monitoring Monitoring USD 1,976 USD 816 USD 974 USD 711 USD 948 NGN 750,000 NGN 310,000 NGN 370,000 NGN 270,180 NGN 360,240 255 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos.

FINAL REPORT ANNEX 22 COMPRESSED GAS GENERAL SAFETY I. Purpose & Scope The purpose of this document is to outline how laboratory staff at the NIMG Tudun/Wada Campus should properly procure and safely use, handle, store, transport, and remove compressed gas cylinders. The scope of this annexure is designed to make all NIMG staff/personnel aware of how to protect themselves from the hazards related to the use, handling, and storage of compressed gas cylinders. Among the three Directorates at NIMG, the Directorate of Training and Research is most suitable to direct the affairs of the laboratories especially as concerns chemical safety. II. Responsibilities A. Directorate of Training & Research (NIMG) • Ensure that gas cylinders are being used, handled, and stored safely. • Provide hazard analysis for Safety Officers and Laboratory Supervisors bringing in new hazardous gases to their lab areas as requested. • Correct any issues and deficiencies regarding compressed gas cylinder safety as necessary. B. Safety Officers and Lab Supervisors • Follow all usage, handling, and storage guidelines as outlined in this annex. • Train other lab workers and students on the safety guidelines. • Ensure all lab personnel are following the guidelines established by this document. • Track and document the gas cylinders that are used within the lab. This should include type and quantity of each cylinder. III. Procedures A. Procurement of gas cylinders • Before purchasing compressed gases, the Directorate of Training & Research should determine if the laboratories/NIMG facility have the minimum engineering requirements necessary for storage and use of the gas/gases. Some gases require continuous ventilation while others may require minimum segregation from incompatible gases. The Chief laboratory Supervisor/Officer will also provide advisory on the above. • When receiving a gas cylinder do not accept it until the following items are verified: ✓ The contents are identified either by labels or stencils, ✓ It contains the appropriate Safety Data Sheets and ✓ It contains a valve protection cap (if so designed). • Do not remove any labels or other form of identification from any gas cylinder. B. Proper storage of gas cylinders Cylinders should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Individual storage areas shall be evaluated in the lab area on a case by case basis. Laboratories using toxic or highly 263 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT toxic compressed gases should have a continuous mechanically vented storage area (e.g., a fume hood or gas cylinder storage cabinet). Pyrophoric gases shall also be stored in such an area which must be equipped with a sprinkler system. • Storage areas shall not exceed 52°C, and cylinders shall be stored nowhere near any source of ignition and flammable and combustible materials. Oxygen and oxidizing gas cylinders shall not be stored within 20 feet of flammable gases or highly combustible materials unless separated by a non-combustible barrier. • Indoor storage areas shall not block any stairs, evacuation route, or any other passageway. Outdoor storage areas shall be on an elevated, level, and covered platform to prevent deterioration from rain, snow, ice, and full sun exposure. • Storage areas need to have applicable signs with quantities, hazards, and gases listed. To request these signs or for assistance with filling them out, contact the Institute of Safety Professionals of Nigeria (ISPON) www.ispon.gov.ng or accredited safety consultants or providers. • Programmable oxygen level or toxic gas sensing devices may be needed in certain areas where specified by code (i.e., poorly ventilated areas, toxic gas storage areas). The warning for hazardous gas exposure provided shall be both visually and audibly distinguishable. • Cylinders should be individually secured and strapped to a permanent structure approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the cylinder to prevent them from falling or being knocked over. • Cylinders should always be stored with the valves closed. Regulators must be removed from all cylinders that are not being actively used and the safety caps should be put in place. Regulators should be stored in a clean and dust free environment, and either labeled or clearly marked in some other way in order to easily identify the types of compressed gases for which they are intended to be used. • Gas cylinders should be stored in accordance with their chemical and physical properties. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided by the vendor if questions arise about their storage. C. Proper use and handling of gas cylinders • Any cylinder with unknown or unmarked contents should not be used and be taken out of service immediately. • All applicable PPE as referred to in the safety data sheet (SDS) of each individual cylinder should be donned while working with the cylinder. • Only cylinders that are in use shall be kept in the laboratory unit. These include cylinders that are actively delivering gas to a laboratory operation or a single cylinder that is being kept on hand as a backup for the operation. When cylinders are not being used the main valve shall be tightened and the regulator should be promptly removed and replaced with a protective cap. • Tags designating whether a cylinder is full, in use, or empty should be found on all cylinders. • Regulators should only be used for the type of cylinder for which they were made as they are incompatible with other types of cylinders. Cylinders without regulators or properly fitted regulators should never be used. • Where permanent connection hoses and lines are in place for cylinder gases, they must be marked to identify the specific gas contained and the direction of flow. • Teflon tape should never be used in connections as this can cause faults and leaks in the connection. Always use a wrench to properly tighten connections. Never tamper or modify 264 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT connections of a cylinder or regulator. • No open flame or hot work should take place around any cylinder under any circumstance to prevent an explosive atmosphere. • Leak detection should be performed by researchers when working with compressed gas cylinders, particularly those that present other hazards aside from simply being compressed gas (e.g., flammable, toxic, or corrosive). Primary methods for performing leak detection include one of the following methods: ✓ A direct reading instrument or sensor ✓ A liquid solution sprayed onto connections to see if bubbles appear. When using this method, it is imperative to make sure that the solution being used is compatible with the compressed gas being tested. • If a leak is ever detected in a connection of a cylinder or the cylinder bottle itself then it shall be taken out of service immediately. If a leak is suspected in a flammable or toxic gas, evacuate the area immediately and inform the appropriate emergency response personnel. • Never try to perform any self-repairs to connection or bottle leaks. D. Transportation of gas cylinders • While transporting cylinders they should be secured with a strap or chain and remain upright at all times. • Protective caps need to be kept in place while moving cylinders for any purpose. • Never roll cylinders on their sides as a transportation method. • Never lift cylinders using the valve cap or stem. • Cylinders should be transported using hand trucks. Stairs should never be used to transport cylinders of any size between floors. Only utilize elevators or lifts when transport between floors is necessary. • Full and empty cylinders must be separated while transporting by vehicle. • Different hazard class cylinders shall be separated while being transported by a vehicle. E. Removal of gas cylinders • Cylinders that are tagged as “EMPTY� should be removed from the lab area and picked up by the vendor in a timely fashion. • Even when empty, compressed gases should still be separated and stored according to this document as they are still hazardous and can still contain a certain volume of gas in the canister. • Small, disposable, empty lecture cylinders may be discarded in the lab trash after the valve stem has been removed. Small disposable lecture cylinders that are not empty may either be reacted off to render them empty, returned to the supplier or disposed of by a licensed gas cylinder disposal company. PEPSA shall be consulted prior to disposing of a cylinder using the preceding methods. Non-disposable cylinders must be returned to the supplier. F. Emergency Situations • Never try to handle the situation yourself if you have not had proper training or feel that you are in imminent danger at any time. • During any leak or potential leak of hazardous gases that cannot be stopped by closing the 265 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT cylinder on the container valve, immediately evacuate the area to avoid any exposure and inform the appropriate emergency response personnel. See emergency contacts below. G. Training • Lab personnel should be trained on the procedures set forth in this document during a lab opening, or if the types of compressed gases used in the lab is changing significantly. • All new lab personnel should be trained on the procedures set forth in this document. 266 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. FINAL REPORT personnel should be re-trained whenever there are deficiencies found in a lab’s usage, handling, or storage of cylinders. H. General Storage for Laboratory Chemicals ▪ Chemicals in the laboratory shall be segregated by hazard class and compatibility. ▪ All incoming containers of chemicals must have appropriate manufacturers’ labels that are not missing or defaced. ▪ It is recommended to label each chemical container with the date it was received and the date it was opened (this is a requirement for peroxide forming chemicals) ▪ Work areas should not be used for long-term storage. Storage of glass chemical containers on the laboratory work area floor shall be strictly prohibited. ▪ If space does not allow each chemical hazard class to be kept in their own storage cabinet, each group should be separated by secondary containment (e.g., plastic trays), with extra care taken to provide stable, uncrowded, and carefully monitored conditions. At a minimum, always store fuels away from oxidizers. ▪ Avoid storing hazardous chemicals (except cleaners) under sinks. Use approved flammable storage lockers, corrosive storage lockers, shelves or cabinets. ▪ Open shelves used for the storage of hazardous chemicals shall be well-anchored, painted, made of, or covered with, chemical- resistant materials. The higher shelves shall be used for chemicals presenting little to no hazard. The chart below (Globally Harmonized Systems (GHS) for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) can be used as a general guide for storage of chemicals by hazard class. This chart is not meant to be exhaustive. Safety Data Sheets should be consulted for detailed storage guidelines and chemical incompatibilities.

DRAFT FINAL REPORT ANNEX 23 CONTROL MEASURES FOR RISKS AND HAZARDS IN FOUNDRY WORKS The following measures may be useful for the control of risks and hazards during foundry works at the NMDC foundry. Given that the current condition of the moulding pit could pose hazards such as explosions; the following will aid supervisors and workers at the foundry in ensuring health and safety in their operations. Molten metal explosions A. Steam Explosions Steam explosions are caused by introducing moisture into molten metal or by pouring molten metal onto materials containing moisture. Sources of moisture include: • containers holding liquids e.g. drink cans, aerosols or mobile phone batteries • heavily oxidized or rusted materials, or rust on the surface of tools or equipment • damp refractories or tools. To minimize the risks so far as is reasonably practicable, a person conducting a business or undertaking must identify potential sources of moisture that could come into contact with molten metal and take steps to stop contact occurring. For example, by ensuring: • Delivered materials are free from moisture and stored in a dry place. • Furnaces and refractories are preheated before use. • Equipment and tools are free from rust, dry and preheated before use. • Charges are dry and free from entrapped moisture before being added to molten metal. • Bottles and containers holding liquid and sealed or pressurized cans are not taken into molten metal areas. If these items are needed for maintenance or use, they should be stored, used and disposed of elsewhere. B. Chemical Explosions Chemical explosions can occur by introducing reactive chemical substances to molten metal directly or as a contaminant in charge material, causing gas pressure build-up within the molten metal. Not every addition of a reactive substance is potentially explosive, for example adding aluminium or ferrosilicon as a de-oxidant. Explosions can result from accidentally mixing oxidizing substances, for example ammonium or potassium nitrate or other oxidizing salts, into smelters or crucibles containing molten metal or aluminum. Explosions may also occur if other incorrect combinations of chemicals are put into a furnace, for example furan and acid. Control measures include: • banning personal butane cigarette lighters in molten metal areas 269 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. DRAFT FINAL REPORT • using storage systems to ensure products not suitable for use with molten metal are clearly labelled, secured against accidental use and stored outside molten metal areas • storing paints, solvents and other combustible or flammable materials in designated areas to avoid ignition and cross-contamination • as the last step before adding anything to molten metal, confirming it is the correct product and is safe for use in that particular melt C. Heat stress Working in hot conditions can be hazardous to health. Effects range from discomfort or heat rash to heat exhaustion or heat stroke which can cause permanent injury or death. Heat stress can occur without the worker being aware of how much they are affected until it is almost too late. It affects concentration, perception and decision making, so heat stress can also affect behaviour and judgement. Other factors besides furnace heat contribute to the body overheating for example: • job factors including strenuous work, sustained work and inadequate recovery time • seasonal factors including high air temperature and relative humidity, or low air movement • fatigue • excessive or unsafe clothing • unsuitable personal protective equipment (PPE). Workers in hot environments can acclimatize or adapt to the heat. Discomfort can reduce, sweating becomes more effective, salt loss reduces and recovery rates can return to normal. Acclimatization takes time and is lost when workers are away from the environment, for example, if workers go on vacation. Workers who have been away for a week or more should be given time to reacclimatize. Acclimatizing only provides partial protection. While acclimatized workers are at less risk than un-acclimatized, they are still at risk. Control measures include: • Eliminating unnecessary heat and water vapour sources. • Shielding radiant emissions from plant and other hot surfaces. • Installing spot coolers, blowers, fans or air-conditioning to relieve humidity and move the air. • Using de-humidifiers and other humidity reduction methods. • Using ventilation to draw in cooler air, for example flues. • Automating tasks where practicable. • Supplying clean fresh water. • Providing respite areas for workers, for example a cool room or heat refuge. • Developing a heat stress policy and procedures to prevent heat stress. The policy should include: ✓ educating workers about the signs and symptoms of excessive heat exposure and heat stroke and the acclimatization process ✓ ensuring a ‘buddy system’ where each worker looks after the other ✓ providing for frequent short water breaks at regular intervals during the shift ✓ e.g. a cup of water (250 ml) every 15 –20 minutes ✓ pacing work to suit the conditions 270 Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) forLadiKwali, NGSA Kaduna, NGRL Kaduna, NIMG Jos& NMDC Jos. DRAFT FINAL REPORT ✓ scheduling hot work in cooler parts of the day ✓ isolating hot work by distance from other workers ✓ rotating hot tasks between workers to minimize exposure time ✓ continuous monitoring for signs or symptoms of excessive heat exposure and heat stroke ✓ contingency plans and treatment for affected workers. • Providing task-specific PPE, for example water cooled clothing or heat reflective clothing. D. Burns Burns are a major source of injury in molten metal foundries and are generally caused by touching hot surfaces, radiation or splashing molten metal. Control measures include: • separating workers not directly involved in casting operation from the casting area • automating machinery to minimise risks associated with manual handling of casting moulds and other equipment if practicable • designing and controlling processes to prevent unexpected reactions occurring • providing protective barriers to prevent exposure to heat and splashes when a safe distance cannot be provided e.g. screens around the pouring station • providing task-specific PPE in addition to other control measures • providing dry PPE when working with molten or hot metal • It is important to apply first aid to burns in order to reduce the risk of infection. E. Light Radiation Eye disorders and skin burns may be caused by intense ultraviolet and infrared radiation from molten metal in furnaces, particularly around pouring areas and in welding operations. Control measures include: • providing workers who are likely to be exposed with shielding and PPE e.g. filtered eye protection • signing work areas indicating eye protection is required where there is a radiation risk • telling workers of the risks associated with intense ultraviolet and infrared radiation • protecting bystanders and people passing preferably by exclusion. 271
