“Less cost, faster delivery time, safer, protecting our roads and more,” Kyari said in a tweet.
Naturenews recalls that in June 2020, the federal government flagged off the construction of the $2.8 billion 614km Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) natural gas pipeline, the single biggest gas pipeline project in Nigeria’s history.
The AKK pipeline project will carry gas between the southern and northern parts of the country, eventually extending to North Africa.
