Abuja — The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPC Ltd, on Tuesday announced that the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano, AKK Gas Pipeline has successfully crossed the River Niger, boosting the hope of the project’s completion by Q4 2025.
Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd, Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, who announced the significant milestone while delivering a Keynote Address at the 24th NOG Energy Week, NOG2025, said the feat was achieved through effective and innovative contract reengineering and industry collaboration.
He also disclosed that for the first time in a long while, the nation enjoyed 100% crude oil pipelines availability throughout June 2025.
He said the feat which was possible through the industry-wide security interventions led by the NNPC helped to boost crude oil production.
He, however, called for more investments to boost production, adding that NNPC Ltd has been able to turn the narrative around by consistently meeting its cash-call obligations to Joint Venture operations.
He said the Petroleum Industry Act, PIA has placed NNPC Ltd in a good position to live up to its responsibility of leading the industry in financing projects.
On his vision for the NOG 2025, he said he would like the conference to transit from a talkshop to one where performances are celebrated and investment deals closed.
