The Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) pipeline is a 614km-long natural gas pipeline currently being developed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

It is set to be laid between Ajaokuta and Kano in Nigeria and forms phase one of the Trans-Nigeria Gas Pipeline (TNGP) project.

The pipeline project is being implemented via a build and transfer (BT) public-private partnership (PPP) model, which involves the contractor providing 100% of the funding.

The pipeline will cost an estimated $2.8bn and ground breaking ceremony is scheduled for tuesday 30th June.

The project will result in the establishment of a connecting pipeline network between the eastern, western and northern regions of Nigeria.

It also aims to create a steady and guaranteed gas supply network between the northern and southern parts of Nigeria by utilising the country’s widely available gas resources.

NNPC originally announced tenders for the development of the AKK pipeline in July 2013.

A project proposal was submitted to the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) in June 2017.

The PPP compliance certificate was issued in July 2017 along with the approval of the feasibility study.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) granted approval for the project in December 2017.

Waste.

Like Kaduna Refinery pipelines from the south.

Like building NITEL Digital Exchanges first in northern little towns but have moribund analog exchanges in huge southern cities,

Kaduna Refinery died.


NITEL died.

This one will also die.


PMB sees himself as Othman Danfodio of Nigeria in the 21st Century. He wasted scarce funds on projects that cannot pass the test in normal governments.

wrong, the north is a parasite, mention one state in the north that produces gas.

you want to pipe gas from 700km location in the south to share to Niger , chad and sahara region.

it can only happen becos the president is a from d north.

we have oil in bauchi state state

We have oil in lake Chad...

The north is filled with untapped resources

There's nothing bad if we reserve our own oil for Future use...

And keep enjoying the oil from Niger Delta since Nigeria is at the verge of collapse

Our groundnut money was used to discover the oil...

Our groundnut money was used to develop Nigeria before the discovery of oil in Niger Delta

So shut up!! And allow us to enjoy the fruit of our labour.

Igbo land is contributing nothing to our national pause.

You people are parasites that have been benefiting from both the Niger Delta and the north.

Free your mind from hatred and continue enjoying oil from Niger Delta and agro produce from the north.

Ajaokuta-Kaduna gas pipeline? Instead of saying the truth: gas pipeline from the south to the north of Nigeria and to Arabic countries.

Una go tire with Taqqiya.

Nigeria moving round circles.

If you read anything about the Nigeria economic sustainability plan you would know that they want to power over 25 million homes by solar energy by 2023 or 2024 which is almost 5000MW of power, and there is a point in this project because it provides more inter connectivity between all african couturiers which is what we are trying to achieve, and finally 2500MW is not enough to power the whole of north west kaduna alone needs 961MW to power it and that is with 70% connectivity if everyone in Nigeria’s as connected to the grid we would need about 160 000-200 000MW of power depending on consumption.

2023-20204, it max 4 years from now and in all honesty, you believe that trassshhhhh

Osun is a rural state and one of the very poor States in Nigeria. Ilesa is a rural town . Omole established trophy breweries which is the only major industry. The town is rural. You people should stop Osun discussion and focus on the topic

You are very wrong bro, my own state is not rural. Check on major places like Ife, Osogbo, Iwo, Ilesha . Wtf are you saying?? They are Alot of factories in that same Ilesha you are talking about man not to talk of Osogbo it boost of great road networks.. from brewery on Ilesha akure expressway to our home Isare at Ilesha is fully tarred with good road quality.

In my honest opinion, this is a senseless project for the simple reason that spending that $2.8billion to build just the pipeline would have built the largest Solar farm in the world(2500MW) right in Kano which could probably supply all of the Electricity needs of North West Nigeria.
There is so much sunlight wasting away in the north it’s a no brainer spending that much to build a pipeline to transport gas from the Niger Delta when gas availability is not even guaranteed.


The current largest Solar Power Station in the world is in Pavagada, India @ 2000MW. It cost $2.1b.
With $2.8bn there is no reason not to do something like that with that kind of money.

If you spend $2.8bn to build a pipeline to pump gas all the way up, you still need to build a gas power plant costing same amount, you also need to ensure maximum security of those pipelines over hundreds of kilometers etc.

A solar plant would have made all the sense a million times more.

Well said

Yorubas and igbos are busy measuring their dick

Reading through the comments on the thread, the thing I see here is bitterness, bitterness, and bitterness.

Honestly, I really don't want to say anything, because if one calls people out on their bitterness, one would be accused of things that he or she is not supporting.

All I'll say is this. All those condemning the project, don't cut your nose to spite your face. This is a good project by an otherwise incomeptent government, and as such, let's hail them for it. I did not like GEJ much, but when he was doing things like almajiri school, railways, and even privatising power, I made sure I hailed him.

Likewise for Buhari.

The problem this thread shows is one of the side effects of democracy, and no it is not isolated to Nigeria. Check out UK and US political threads, and if you see the bitterness towards Johnson and Trump, you will wonder if the commentors are aware they are in a democracy.

For the last time. Buhari won twice. I don't like it, infact, since democracy came to Nigeria, none of the governments have been to my taste. Infact, I have refused to vote for PDP or APC out of priniciple, and inasmuch as in 2015 I wanted PDP out, was dissapointed somewhat that APC chose a former ruler as its candidate...as if there weren't any intelligent others, even from the North. But if I allowed my anger to dominate me, I honestly won't sleep, and I would get very sick.

And to be honest as a Southerner, I am tired of Southerners blaming the North for our underdevelopment. Nothing is stopping us from putting fire on the legs of our leaders at all stages to get us developed. Nothing is stopping us from making sure our region is investor friendly (and yes, we shout at North for Boko...whereas in the SOuth, a guy who came home from abroad with money to invest was kidnapped and nearly killed by his own kinsmen, not by fulani herdsmen, his own people)...but we won't do that. Instead, we vote for leaders who give us ourdaily bread, and then go home and forget about development.Then we cry that Dangote is not building refinery in our area.

I've seen many people yarn about 'we don't have power'. When in the SOuth (and North for that matter) most of us don't pay our power bills. Which investor is going to come and invest in a region where he or she is not sure of getting money.

Besides, this pipeline project , was actually an initative of GEJ. And as someone has said upthread, if the thing works, we get direct access to European Markets, we earn billions more for the exchequer, the gas producing areas get more money as per derivaiton, and we get more jobs, and hopefully more power to power our economy. Maybe every part of Nigeria becomes productive, and then we can safely talk about dismembering the country, since no one would be 'reliant on oil'

The sad thing about Nigerians is that we are so bitter. Yes, we have a right to be bitter, but there is a time when bitterness becomes counterproductive.

Google BUA Cement founded by Abdulsamad Rabiu.

It's founder is a Forbes Billionaire and one of the richest Africans alive, and his billions of $$$ came from CEMENT which is manufactured from Limestone found in his factories in Kalambaina, Sokoto among other places.

In fact just this year alone, he has more than tripled his networth by acquiring the Sokoto Cement Company (CCNN) and has built 2 production trains and is about completing the third.

He made $650 million dollars from that Sokoto acquisition alone and is now worth $3.1 Billion USD thanks to our blessed land.

Stop advertising your ignorance with pride.

They don't like "sense"; because it curbs their excesses of misappropriation of funds thus not allowing them to STEAL EFFECTIVELY FROM THE NIGERIA MONEY PURSE.

U need education for comparing productivity in abia to osun

in fact I need a job from such project. any help

On the contrary, you are the ignorant
one who doesn't think deeply before
commenting.

All your references only proves my
statement as bonafide facts..

He made his money in Okpella in Edo
State & Lagos which are all in southern
Nigeria. It is those monies he made in
southern Nigeria he is using to expand
in the North.


Show me any northerner who has made
his money from resources in northern Nigeria .

Again, no south, no rich northerner!!

WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

Please, stop this Osun discussion and focus on the topic. Osun is one of the very poor States in Nigeria. Abia is far more than Osun, incomparable on all ground. Osun is a rural state. Just focus on the topic

GidiWoodsMan:
This is a stupid, wasteful project that assumes the Northerners will always be able to keep this country together. Whether they like it or not, the dissolution of this fraudulent entity called Nigeria is just a matter of time.

They are preparing for the dissolution ,by aggressively exploring for oil in the north erecting as. Many factories and processing centers now this pipeline even in a divided Nigeria will ensure gas will be supplied to the north which they will insist on during negotiations for dissolution.

Just my opinion sha

Stop Osun discussion for now.Outside Lagos, South West is the least developed region in the South. I have analyzed that severally. Late Ooni Sijuwade also analyzed that several years ago.

[quote author=adecz post=91165964][/quote]Where do you think the limestone comes from (assuming you know what it is & its core use in cement production) ?

Is Sokoto in the South?

Obajana?

Okpella is just ONE of his factories. Do you even know Sokoto has been producing cement since the 70's? Did he triple his networth to $3.1b from Edo or his acquisition of Sokoto Cement Company?

Can you see why I emphasise you're ignorant and lack capacity to properly discuss the topic at hand?

Stop exposing the limits of your comprehension with glee, you're however free to wallow alone in the depths of your delusion.

Okk
We never see anything yet

Just my opinion sha

It is not your opinion but the truth. When Jonathan initiated the project in 2013, it was a private public basis. The tender for investment failed. 614 kilometres for a start, the cost benefit analysis failed. Rate of return on investment - failed.

Contrary to what they are saying, this project is being guaranteed by loan from China. Nigeria would provide a sovereign guarantee for 85% of the pipeline’s cost.

The AKK link will cost a total of $2.59 billion, with the guarantee to be funded by China’s Sinosure with a 12-year repayment period and three-year moratorium. NNPC will cover the outstanding 15% of the price tag.

Chinese financing is available for the project, linked to China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Co. (CPPEC) working on the construction.

From the above paragraphs, you can see that the project financing model under GEJ is not the same under Buhari. This is a political project.

Olokola LNG initiated by Obj when he was about to leave was killed by Yaradua. That was his only project for South West.

oga ! your country is paying nothing for that project ! federal govt of Nigeria can never repay that loan.They simply lack the fiscal discipline to do so! its going to be a build,operate and transfer .

Don't mind them, most of our boys don't travel to South East.Osun is far below Abia. To help situation, estimated $100 billions that would have been saved by Okonjo Iweala ended up in the hand of South East people developing the area more and making the people more richer.

The North is also taking his shares with various political projects. CBN intervention to Agric sector, covid-19 palliatives deals, School feeding on lockdown, NPA & NNPC projects and many more openly.

These greedy wicked northerners think they will rule nigeria forever.

There is hope for us Niger-delta,

The fact that the north cannot move the gas and oil deposits in our land and water to their arid land means that all these projects is still at our mercies,

Let them build the gas pipelines, as far as the gas emanates from my backyard , I will shut it down the day I deemed fit.

There are plenty of gas flaring from plethora of oil coys in the delta yet we cannot boast of 6hours constant light across the 6states of Niger delta,

Nigeria cannot, I say it cannot be good, empower yourself and your children and be prepared to take what belongs to you now or in the nearest future,

The Egyptians did not allow the children of Isrealites go in a platter of gold

Dont be fooled with the term unity in diversity, it hasn't worked, the north are not like us, we are different in all ramifications ranging from culture, religion, value we place on human life, etc therefore it cant work, Nigeria need to be divided.

When we are divided, we will save ourself from all these political fight up and down, we will save ourself from killings in kano, Kaduna , boko haram will come to an end since no more oil money to covertly finance them.

We will ever live in peace, justice and harmony when will divide,

I have never been to most northern states and I dont think nothing will take me there in my life time, rather we have northerners all working in our land occupying all the juicy positions in customs , oil coys, sea ports etc and we live in peace with them because our strength is Jesus Christ that taught us to live in peace with all men.
