The construction of the $2.6 billion Ajaokuta- Kaduna- Kano gas  pipeline (AKK) project, will  be flagged  off on June 30.

The Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, disclosed this in an exclusive interview with THE WHISTLER.

“The construction of the AKK line will be flagged off on the 30th of June, and why the AKK pipeline is very important to us as a country is that it is going to create a development backbone,” Sylva said.

AKK and the NLNG Train  7 are two ongoing projects of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and its partners which have opened  the oil and gas space to Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs). 

The flag-off of the AKK is  coming despite the negative  impact of COVID- 19 on the world economy.

The AKK project is a  40-inch, 614 kilometre  gas pipeline that will traverse  Ajaokuta,Abuja, Kaduna and  Kano. 

 The AKK pipeline at completion will deliver gas to the planned Abuja (1350MW), Kaduna (900MW) and Kano (1350MW) power plants which will generate additional 3,600MW to the national grid.

The additional power will increase the nation’s generating capacity to over 10,000 MW, up from 7,000MW.

The pipeline will also  catalyze major industrial growth through fertilizer, petrochemicals and other related gas- based industries.

The AKK pipeline will also link up with the  Trans Saharan gas pipeline that will take Nigerian gas to Europe through Algeria.

The Whistler gathered  that haulage of 40″ line pipes to Ajaokuta and Kaduna stack yards were  in progress by both contractors – Oilserv and Brentex. 

Also, 1 024 linepipes (about 50%) have been delivered to the respective stack yards in Ajaokuta and Kaduna. 

The contractors Oilserv and Brentex/CPP have also  commenced detailed engineering designs, ROW route and Geotechnical survey works. These activities are in advance stages of completion.
