SEATTLE (Oil Monster): The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation is mulling plans to extend the ongoing Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano(AKK) gas pipeline system across the Sahara to Algeria in North Africa.
NNPC’s Group Managing Director, Maikanti Baru, disclosed this while receiving an award from the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria in Abuja.
Baru said the consideration for the extension of the gas pipeline was in furtherance of the corporation’s African integration drive.
He further stated that the Federal Government was working to also extend the West African Gas Pipeline to Morocco.
The AKK gas pipeline is designed to enable gas connectivity between the East, West and North of the country. It would also enable gas supply and utilization to key commercial centres in the Northern corridor of Nigeria.
