NNPC Invites Senator Natasha To Groundbreaking Of LNG Plants In Ajaokuta by TimeManager(op): 2:59pm On Jan 18, 2025
Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has said the establishment of five Liquefied Natural Gas plants in Ajaokuta, Kogi Central Senatorial District would promote cleaner energy alternatives and reduce carbon emissions.

She said the development demonstrates the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s commitment to implementing sustainable energy policies.

In a statement she issued and made available to journalists in Abuja on Friday, the female lawmaker commended the Federal Government and the NNPCL, stressing that this wasn’t only a milestone, but it also aligned with the global best practices.

“I am delighted to extend my profound gratitude to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, and the Federal Government of Nigeria for the establishment of five Mini Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants in Ajaokuta Local Government, Kogi.

“This remarkable development is a significant milestone in our collective efforts to promote cleaner energy alternatives, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance energy security across our nation.

“It demonstrates the Federal Government’s unwavering commitment to implementing sustainable energy policies that align with global best practices while fostering economic growth and environmental protection.

“The establishment of these Mini LNG plants is a testament to the government’s dedication to providing innovative solutions to meet the energy demands of our people,” she said.

Natasha, who is the Senate Committee Chairman on Local Contents, added that utilising the vast Gas resources in Kogi would make the plants sustainable and thereby creating employment opportunities for the teeming Nigerians.

“By tapping into the vast natural gas resources in Kogi, these plants will create employment opportunities, stimulate industrial development, and ensure access to cleaner and more affordable energy for households, businesses, and industries.

“I wish to particularly commend the NNPC and its leadership for their forward-thinking approach in driving this transformative initiative.

“The deployment of Mini LNG plants showcases the Federal Government’s determination to diversify our energy mix, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and transition toward cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.

“As the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Content, I am equally pleased to note the local participation and inclusion of indigenous expertise in the execution of this project.

“This not only enhances the capacity of our local workforce but also aligns with the goals of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act (2010) in fostering homegrown skills and technology transfer.

“The Mini LNG plants hold the promise of significant environmental benefits through reduced carbon emissions and air pollution, paving the way for a cleaner and greener future.

“Additionally, these plants will address the persistent energy supply challenges in the region, boost industrialisation, and attract local and foreign investments, thereby transforming Ajaokuta into an energy hub in Nigeria.

“As we celebrate this achievement, I reaffirm my commitment to advocating for sustainable policies and initiatives that prioritise the well-being of our people and the development of Kogi Central District.

“I urge all stakeholders to continue to work collaboratively to ensure the success and longevity of this laudable project,” she added.

She also wrote this ;

This is actually the largest concentration of such projects in one district in the entire country. Five, not one, two, three, four, but five mini LNG plants will be established in Ajaokuta by God’s grace.
What more can you add, this is a five star infrastructure.
Renewed Hope, 2025.

Ajaokuta Local Government Area in Kogi about to be industrialised.

Rental properties, plaza, shops, factories and industries, all wanting to tap from the consistent power supply that will hover in that area.

Establishing five LNG plants in Kogi Central is a huge step toward cleaner energy, cutting carbon emissions, and boosting the economy. It also means jobs for locals, industrial growth, and more affordable, eco-friendly energy for everyone. By involving local expertise, this project supports Nigeria’s Local Content policy, ensuring skills and technology stay within the country.

After that, she should closely ensure that the project is completed and running...there are many projects in which after groundbreaking nothing else was done.

Even though I am obidient but then Tinubu has been making calculated steps these days but I just wish he can pay attention to the food and fuel..

He's trying in road...the road that lead to my house now is tarred and infact LIGHT, we use to have light 247 constantly now unlike before when it's 5-7 hours daily..

I just wish for him to do well and stop spending too much..

Apart from that...I am loving him...

They took the light and hour ago ago and while still typing they brought it...till 3-4 days again before they take it...

It's not a Yoruba name, it is rather
an Ebira name.
In the olden days, our forefathers who were hunters usually see birds called Aja in Ebira language. I don't the name in English, but let me try and describe it.
This particular bird usual flies in the night and usually on the road where people are passing. When it sees humans walking on the road, it would fly ahead and perch on the road waiting for them to move closer before it flies again. You can relate if you lived in the farm before.

Now back to the story. Our forefather usually see this bird Aja perching on the rock, and we call rock Ida and we call to perch "OOku". So, Ajaokuta means the bird Aja perchs on the rock.
That was how Ajaokuta was named.
I hope this helps.
