Kaduna State Deputy Governor Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, on Friday, joined a federal government delegation to inspect the Kaduna river crossing of the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano Natural Gas Pipeline project.
The delegation comprised the Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris Malagi, Minister of Finance Wale Edun, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas) Ekperipe Ekpo and the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.
This 614-kilometer pipeline is poised to deliver natural gas to several states, including the Federal Capital Territory, Niger, Kaduna, and Kano, with the potential to enhance power supply, stimulate industrial growth, generate employment opportunities, and increase government revenue.
Dr. Hadiza warmly welcomed the delegation on behalf of Governor Uba Sani in Kaduna, expressing delight for the project’s advancement and the government’s enthusiasm in seeing its completion by the first quarter of 2025.
