The Gas Aggregation Company of Nigeria (GACN) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) as well as the Nasarawa State Government have planned a business roundtable to amplify the economic benefits of the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipeline project to host states.

A statement from GACN Tuesday said the roundtable which will be held in Lafia, the state capital, on Thursday is coming on the heels of the Kano Gas Stakeholders’ Forum which was held in August 2021.
