The Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline, otherwise known as AKK, promises to be a game changer in the economic development of the country, especially Northern Nigeria. Its game-changing impact is encompassed in its designed purpose of delivering Natural Gas for multiple uses. The gas pipeline spans a length of 614 kilometres, running from Ajaokuta to Kano. The project cost is estimated at $2.8 billion. And it is a segment of the Trans-Nigeria Gas Pipeline (TNGP) and the Trans Saharan gas pipeline project. The AKK represents a practical manifestation of the concept of public sector collaborating with the private sector in a partnership to achieve a major national goal. The project is being implemented through a Build and Transfer (BT) Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The contractor is providing 100 per cent funding.
