Nigeria is being positioned as a leading gas-powered economy through the construction of three key gas projects with a combined worth of about $4.15bn, the Federal Government announced on Thursday.
It said the projects, being handled by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, include the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano Gas Pipeline Project; Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben Gas Pipeline Project, popularly called OB3 gas project; and the Assa North-Ohaji South gas project, also known as ANOH project.
The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Nicholas Ella, disclosed this in Abuja during an interactive session with employees of the ministry.
He said, “Under the Decade of Gas initiative, we significantly expanded gas infrastructure, including the AKK Gas Pipeline Project, the OB3 Gas Pipeline Project, and the ANOH gas project being undertaken by the NNPC Ltd.
“These projects are geared towards ensuring an efficient and widespread distribution of gas, positioning Nigeria as a leading gas-powered economy.”
