River Niger Crossing Completed on Nigeria’s 381-Mile AKK Pipeline Project
(P&GJ) — The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd. (NNPC) says construction of the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipeline has cleared a critical hurdle with the successful crossing of the River Niger, keeping the 421-mile project on schedule for completion in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Announcing the milestone during his keynote at the 24th NOG Energy Week conference on Tuesday, Group Chief Executive Officer Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari said the achievement was made possible “through effective and innovative contract re-engineering and industry collaboration.”
Ojulari added that Nigeria recorded “100 percent crude oil pipeline availability throughout June 2025,” crediting industry-wide security measures led by NNPC for the uninterrupted operations.
While urging fresh investment to lift output, the CEO noted that NNPC’s steady fulfillment of cash-call obligations to joint-venture partners and the fiscal terms under the Petroleum Industry Act 2021 have strengthened the company’s ability to finance new projects.
Looking ahead to NOG 2025, Ojulari said he wants the annual gathering to evolve from “a talk shop” into a forum where operational performance is showcased and concrete investment deals are sealed.
