In a follow-up to the 2021 Gas Stakeholder’s Forum, the Gas Aggregation Company of Nigeria (GACN) is organising a business roundtable to amplify the economic benefits of the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipeline project to host states.
A statement from GACN said the roundtable, which is billed for November 25, would birth executive MOUs involving multi-party joint working teams, comprising gas suppliers, virtual pipeline solution providers, and AKK state representatives to proffer gas supply strategies and solutions consistent with the identified private and public sector priority projects of the AKK states.

“The Team has already commenced gas commercialization discussions with the various state government representatives to determine the gas needs for their priority projects.
“Consultations with key gas solution providers are ongoing to provide an end-to-end, high-level competitive and robust near-term gas supply plan to meet the gas requirement of the identified critical gas and power demand clusters, free trade zones, and industrial zone parks in the various states.”
The statement said GACN has so far secured MOUs between NNPC, GACN, Kano, and Kaduna states while discussions with Kogi and Nasarawa states are at the finalization stage.
“Indeed, GACN and NNPC are collaborating with the Nasarawa State Government to hold a Nasarawa Gas Business Roundtable engagement in Lafia on the 4th of November 2021.
“The NNPC–GACN–Nasarawa State gas utilization collaboration MOU will be executed in the course of this event.”
