From: Femi Oyelola, Kaduna
The Arewa Consultative Forum has commended the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government to complete the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline early in 2025.
This was contained in a statement by Forum National Publicity Secretary Prof. T. A. Muhammad-Baba and made available to the media in Kaduna yesterday.
The statement stated that the heartwarming news came by way of the visit by a high-powered delegation of the Federal Government to the Project Site at Kaduna on Friday, 21st June 2024.
“The delegation, led by Mr. Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, included Alhaji Mohammed Malagi, Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mr. Ekperikpe Ekpo, Minister of State for Petroleum (Gas) and Mallam Mele Kyari, Group Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
“At hand to accompany the delegation was Senator Uba Sani, Executive Governor of Kaduna State, represented by his Deputy, Dr. Hadiza Balarabe.
“ACF wholly agrees with Mr. Edun’s observation that the AKK Gas pipeline will be critical to the era’s industrialization endeavors and a much-welcome relief for the economy in general.
“It will indeed be recalled that during the ACF Leadership’s visit to President Tinubu, on 30th May, 024, a plea for the completion of the AKK Gas Pipeline was on the wish list of the Forum for the attention of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.”
