Nigeria is finally on the verge of unlocking huge economic benefits arising from its natural gas endowment. For many years, the country had been hindered by absence of gas transmission pipelines in her bid to harness its abundant gas reserves for provision of gas to generate electricity, and stimulate rapid industrialization using gas as feedstock for fertilisers, ammonia and other petrochemical applications.

The commencement of the NNPC-sponsored Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline project by leading indigenous EPC giant - OILSERV Limited is the cause for this renewed optimism. OILSERV has been awarded the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, testing, and commissioning of the first segment of the 614 km x 40-Inch Gas pipeline, which is from Ajaokuta to mid-way between Abuja and Kaduna.

OILSERV has achieved significant progress in a short spate of time including ongoing detailed engineering design, topographical and geotechnical surveys, haulage and stacking of line pipes in preparation to commence construction activities.

In the words of the Group Managing Director of NNPC; Melle Kolo Kyari “the AKK project is key to resolving the power deficit challenge of the country. Its multiplier effect on the economy and provisions of jobs will be unprecedented. NNPC will give all necessary support to the Contractors to enable them deliver the project within time and within budget”.

Chairman of OILSERV Ltd, Engr. Emeka Okwuosa, gave a pledge that OILSERV will leave no stone unturned to partner with NNPC and make the dreams of 200million Nigerians come true by delivering the AKK project to global quality and standards. In his words, “The capability of OILSERV has been honed in the course of successful delivery of landmark EPC contracts such as lot B of the 48inch OB3 gas pipeline system that is currently being commissioned”.

The optimism and hope that this development represents is a clear elixir that is sorely needed by the entire nation at this time. We wish OILSERV, NNPC and everyone else involved in this endeavor, success.

Gas is the future and Igboland has it in abundance. The global economy is fast moving away from "OYEL" with solar energy taken over especially with the drastic rise in oil prices in most first world countries... at least we won't be hearing pim from the awon "we the South South you want to steal our oil" crew very soon.

There are many ways to generate electricity.

Gas (SE and SS)
Coal (SW, SE, Middlebelt)
Hydro (North)
Solar (North) etc.

I am waiting to see where this is going

Gas is the future.

SE has the largest onshore gas reserve in WA followed by beloved SS.

Our sophisticated brothers are hoping that the country stays one, so that beautiful SE can continue to supply free gas to their gas-barren land.

Where do you guys get bitumen you used on your roads


SE Abi

We pay for gas, you pay for bitumen

Where do you guys get bitumen you used on your erosion red mud roads


SE Abi

We pay for gas, you pay for bitumen

Assistant Director, Ewedu Bureau of Statistics.

The bitumen we use in the East are processed from crude oil. We don't use Ondo bitumen, we can get that from crude oil.

Ondo bitumen is still a process, the bitumen use in Nigeria are imported

Sunshineg5:
From which Refinery?

The first private refinery in Nigeria is in Anambra.

Have they started operating?

They said they are still exploring

Majority of the Bitumen used in Nigeria is either from the west or imported.

You say Wetin

Maybe you should check Ose local governments in Ondo state and see how trucks line up for extraction of bitumen.

Yes, we import some

I am talking about refinery, not bitumen.

Like pointed out, Nigeria import her bitumen

SW is has the second largest deposit of bitumen in the world, but the same bitumen can be extracted from crude oil.

Yes, the refinery in Anambra is not functioning yet.

Nigeria doesn't import all of her Bituman but most of her Bitumen despite having the second largest proven reserve in the world.

Lol, do you know what asphalt is?

Have you ever watched where contractors whenever they are constructing roads?

Heavy crude oil not light crude like the one produced in Nigeria
