“We understand that this project will pave way for the development of 3 based Independent Power Plants (IPPs) – 1350MW in Abuja, 900MW in Kaduna and 1350MW in  Kano .

“The fact that the AKK gas pipeline project, being a section of the Trans-Nigeria Gas Pipeline (TNGP) with a capacity to transport about 2.2Bcf/d of gas, shows seriousness of a responsive and responsible leadership,” he said.

Ganduje expressed optimism that with the project, Kano will bounce back economically to occupy her old position as a gateway for businesses and industrial activities in West African sub-region. (NAN )
