Buhari's Full Speech At The Flag Off Of Ajaokuta-kano -kaduna gas pipeline project

President Muhammadu Buhari
I am delighted to address you today on the occasion of the flag off of the construction of the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline Project. This landmark project is being developed at a critical time in Nigeria’s commitment to increasing our infrastructure assets.

2.​We promised the Nation that we will expand the critical gas infrastructure in the country to promote the use of gas in the domestic market. These include the Escravos to Lagos Pipeline System - 2 (ELPS-2), Obiafu to Obrikom (OB3) pipeline and AKK.



3.​These projects are fundamental to our desire to industrialize and energize the entrepreneurial spirit that is ever present in our population. Hence, I had directed NNPC to ensure that these milestone projects are completed on time, within budgetary allocation and as per specifications.

4.​When completed, the AKK Gas Pipeline Project will provide gas for generation of power and for gas-based industries which would facilitate the development of new industries and also the revival of moribund industries along transit towns in Kogi State, Abuja (FCT), Niger State, Kaduna State and Kano State.

5.​When operational, the cascading effect and impact of the project will be immeasurable. It has significant job creation potential both direct and indirect, while fostering the development and utilization of local skills and manpower, technology transfer and promotion of local manufacturing.

6.​The project is therefore part of the delivery of our Next Level Agenda for sustainable development and enhancement of the economic prosperity of our country.

7.​One of the lessons learnt from the Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19) Pandemic further underscores the drive of this Administration for export substitution initiatives and projects that will promote local manufacturing.

8.​We must also learn lessons from other countries who have methodically made the transition from oil rich countries and used their crude as a pathway to economic and industrial diversification.

9.​In particular, gulf countries who have similar levels of gas reserves as Nigeria, have a strategy centered around gas-industrialization as their foundation towards export diversification. This has to be our guiding principle as we seek to attract investment and create opportunities for our people.

10.​In this regard, I challenge our private sector to lead the charge in maximizing our gas resources to create a petrochemical hub that will resurrect not only our manufacturing capacity but place us squarely on the path to increased self-sufficiency.

11.​As the world evolves, we owe our people the responsibility to prepare them for what the future holds. We therefore must be bold and fearless and can no longer be incremental in our approach.

12.​Time is short, and our people’s zeal is strong and palpable. Infrastructure development although long, tedious and complex remains a cardinal objective of our Administration’s drive towards ensuring a stable, sustainable and more prosperous future for our citizenry.

13.​Today marks an important chapter in the history of our great Nation. It marks the day when our domestic natural gas pipeline networks; from Obiafu in Rivers State, Escravos in Delta State and Lekki in Lagos State, are being connected through Kaduna to Kano States thereby enhancing national energy security, creating balanced development, and further integrating our nation.

14.​I would like to commend the Government of the Peoples Republic of China; our financiers the Bank of China and SINOSURE; and the two EPC Contractors (Brentex/China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau-CPP Consortia and Oilserve/China First Highway Engineering Company-CFHEC Consortia) for your support to deliver this important project. THIS PROJECT IS DEAR TO THE PEOPLE OF NIGERIA AND MUST SUCCEED.

15.​I congratulate the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, NNPC and all relevant Stakeholders on this historic and epoch-making occasion. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the resilience of the team to deliver on this project is commendable.

16.​I also urge all the stakeholders to continue providing the required support so that this landmark project can be actualized within the approved budget and schedule.

17.​Finally, I am counting on the Executive Governors of Kogi, Niger, Kaduna and Kano States as well as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory to provide the enabling environment and support for the project.

18.​It is my honour to flag off the start of the Construction Phase of the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Gas Pipeline Project today at the Ajaokuta, Kogi State and the Rigachikun, Kaduna State Camp Sites simultaneously and hereby declare the commencement of construction activities.

19.​At the same time, the Executive Governors of Kogi and Kaduna States are to physically flag-off the commencement of works at Ajaokuta and Rigachikun sites on my behalf.

20.​Thank you all for your commitment and resolve. For those that journeyed from far to attend this event, I wish you all a safe trip back to your respective stations. This has been a good day for Nigeria’s development, evolution and integration.

21.​God bless you and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you

Ibadan beats Mombasa hands down in terms of industries. The little Indians couldn't post any Mombasa factory in response to Ibadan factories.
More Ibadan:

Apparently Ibadan is a slum...oh gosh I love this slum...

Austine1213:

Rwanda is another country that does that...eat Africa has this urge to make the world believe they are doing just fine so they can lure in coming their way and raining praises on them...

chrisooblog:

jln115:

What happened to 2019 bro....I can't entertain your noise..

rvp20182:
Not possible. Mombasa is miles ahead.

Talk is cheap.. Geoffrey Mwangi can attest to that...
Mombasa is a full blow slum with zero infastructure..go thank your stars you have Diani Beach to atleast drown your sorrow and vicissitude..

Austine1213:
Lol SA has footholf of east africa

What is he on about, kenya dont dominate east africa

Lol kenya cannot dominate its market

He always thinks Kenya is something serious forgetting the little shiithole is less than $99bn and that if i choose to ignore Kenyatta cooked up lies..

68816419:

Gikomba shopping mall

popizaino:
Lol.

You can’t be gulping raw cow blood and urine and expect to have a good taste for good food. It’s impossible for the Maasai.

68816419:

68816419:

1- Ramzi Towers, Lagos Building - Nigeria - e-architec(under construction )
2-Infinite Towers / 4 Bourdillon Road (Completed)
3- Atlantic Business & Residential Resort(Unconstructed )
4-Coral (Hotel Apartments) almost

Wow so Ramzi tower has commenced construction...

Yes most of their building are just talk,hideous, tasteless and soul-less... most of those apartment they post here won't be bought if they were to be in ikoyi

Baliv254:
lagos 2020
look at dem man holez

Oh wow this is so funny and hypocritical of you......that is a street road that broke down in a poor neighbourhood probably due to constant erosion (at least our poor neighbourhood enjoy road)...now tell me what you will say about this your national road which forces Kenya to go all the way up to TZ and take another routes that leads back to Kenya before they get home....what a shame..I call this porridge looking mess a "NATIONAL DISGRACE"...Burt your head in sand..

Baliv254:
fools should remove the logs in their eyes before mentioning anything kenya
the thread title still stands

Lol you went to watch a Nigerian music video online and captured the image of a place in Enugu state...lol I am guessing it is flavour or phyno..cos it only them that loves visiting those places in Enugu..

obaaderemi:
Many Chadians, nigeriens, Ghanaians, liberians, Sierra leoneans also settled in Nigeria during their time of trouble. No big deal.

See what the fool his priding himself over...
He was thesame fool that said Kenya is better than Nigeria cos Tayo sins went there to shoot his voice and a subscriber in the comments section expressed his interest Tongo there...he was even of the impression that Kenya is better than SA cos a video surfaced online about a SA nationale that moved to Kenya from SA...

Such close minded idiot irritates me...they always see the world from one perspective no matter what you tell them..

Dlonra:
Trust me, kenya is better. That's why refugees from Somalia, Sudan, Congo & Rwanda all settled in Kenya after their nations faced civil wars. It's also one of the most toured nation in Africa with the highest number of Multinational Companies Headquarters in Africa meaning it's very safe to settle & do business. An indicator of a functioning state.

Shut up Kenya is a failed state .it funny to see how you pride yourself over hosting refugees from war torn shiithole....I am not trusting you, Kenya is a fradulent joke of a failed state..live with that and avoid your delusions

gallivant:
Why have Nigerians failed in formalizing their retail sector? Thats the elephant in the room. People buy fish in the same place they buy radios and you are here lamenting on Kenyan retail? Please start using your brains.

Shut up and cease the noise...the ekepyin the room is Kenya loosing her formal Economy while Nigeria is gaining hers...
Kenya is a fraud..

rvp20182:
Video.

Let see if it can even compete with Rongai and Kiserian

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2ai6fsODaU

Shut up there is. No planned residential neighbourhood in Kenya...none whatsoever..

68816419:
The guy only saw less than 50% of Abuja central areas, he didn't show wuse1 and 2, Maitama, Gwarimpa, Utako,Garki,Jabi, Asokoro and others

Lol then if he didn't visit those place that means he didn't go close to our CBD ..lol those that wants to see Abuja outside her CBD can watch that video and see how it's still makes Mombasa see dusts..

surplusk:
You can simply say Kaduna is among the top states with one of the best roads in Nigeria today that state had witness continuous rapid development starting from the previous administrations till date.

Yes..Kaduna has a it's takes to be the capital of the north..their infastructures appears to be the best...


The next best thing coming into Kaduna now is the Kaduna centenary park..a one stop destination for tourists which offers mall shopping, museum, and host host of many other things

gallivant:
He said in Swahili the place has a Pyongyang feel to it. Concrete emptiness.

Still an honour live with the Shame pls

68816419:
Kenyans on Nairaland ,listen to what your fellow Kenyans who just visited Nigeria, said about Nigeria capital , "Wow, No city in Kenya OR any eats Africa countries can be compared with Abuja ,Nigeria" Geoffrey Mwangi


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r04JPbAh2zo

Lol,lol,lol this is yet again another Kenyan coming in to Abuja and confirming that Abuja lives up to it hype...lol this renders rvp noise useless ...
I am saving this video...

gallivant:
Lol

Please, limit your ignorance to Africa. Brasilia is not comparable to Abuja and neither is Paris or Florence.

Your are a fool..from what I just saw Brasilia is on the same level with Abuja.. from that video I can see the similarities it has with Abuja, the planning,spacious CBD,the buildings,the large massive, expansive Highway cutting through out the city, the stadium,the convection centres, the parks just to mention a few..

jln115:
2018

What happened to 2019..

68816419:

True..

68816419:
loss making venture, all your big firms are folding up and has huge debt portfolios

Lol you are too funny and wicked..whenever you are here they shiver down to their pants cos they know you would expose them

gallivant:
It has a Pyongyang vibe to it. Maybe its the way the trees are trimmed I just cant put my finger on it. But definitely Abuja is a Pyongyang category city.

Lol then it's an honour..

jln115:
I'm going with the stats on hand........If you have a 2020 source post it and prove me wrong, very simple!!

Dlonra:
It's not like I camp here like you the jobless makoko dweller. I'm only here when I'm free.
