FG Mandates Contractors to Finish AAK Gas Pipeline by 2024.

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ekperikpe Ekpo, has emphatically urged the contractors overseeing the 614-kilometer Ajaokuta, Kaduna, Kano gas pipelines project not to deviate from their commitment to meet the stipulated completion deadline of July/August 2024.

According to a statement by the Minister’s spokesperson, Louis Ibah, this deadline was reiterated during the Minister’s recent inspection tour of the project. During this visit, Minister Ekpo voiced his concerns about the sluggish progress of the project and sought a clear timeline for its completion from the contractor responsible for the initial segment.

In response, Emeka Okuosa, the Chairman of Oilserve Limited, which is one of the firms responsible for the project, affirmed that the entire undertaking would be ready for inauguration between July and August 2024.

This development underscores the Minister’s commitment to expeditiously advancing this crucial infrastructure project, which is of significant national importance.
