Energy analyst Patrick Kwame has stated that the nearly completed Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline will stimulate economic growth and enhance the living standards of ordinary Nigerians. Kwame made this assertion in a statement on Saturday, following confirmation from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) that the AKK pipeline project is 95% complete.
NNPCL's CEO, Bayo Ojulari, highlighted the project's significance in improving energy access, supporting businesses, and stimulating economic activities in Northern Nigeria. Kwame, who is also the lead at the Energy Reforms Monitoring Initiative Africa, emphasized that major infrastructure projects are evaluated based on their impact on people's lives, rather than simply the financial investment or pipeline length.
He further noted that enhancing gas infrastructure could facilitate the expansion of compressed natural gas (CNG) adoption, offering transport operators and other users an alternative to petrol and diesel.
