The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has announced that the Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben (OB3) gas pipeline is ready for its first gas, while the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) pipeline has reached 95% completion. The OB3 pipeline, which spans 130 kilometers, will connect gas supplies across the eastern and western parts of Nigeria, with the recent completion of the River Niger crossing unlocking a significant portion of its capacity.
The AKK pipeline, designed to transport gas to Abuja and beyond, is expected to deliver early gas to Abuja in 2026. These projects are part of NNPC's gas infrastructure development program aimed at expanding gas transportation infrastructure to support national economic development.
