Ahead of the completion of the Ajaokuta Kaduna Kano (AKK) Gas pipeline, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) business team has commenced off-takers engagement for the operation.
The Group Chief Executive Officer GCEO Engr Bashir Bayo Ojulari broke the news when the Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) management team paid him at courtesy visit in the NNPCL Towers, Abuja.
He said the business team is helping the customers and off-takers to establish the operational structure.
According to him, the AKK transcends the pipeline to the growth of the business in terms of power, industrial Park, and the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) extensions.
His words: “So we’re not just working on the pipeline. Our gas and new business team are actively engaging the market already.
“We are engaging customers, off takers and helping them to put structures in place to ensure that it’s not about the gas line, it’s about the growth of the businesses, both in terms of power, industrial park, CNG extensions that are gonna come off on the back of AKK alone.”
