President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the Federal Government would soon commence the construction of the 600 kilometers, Ajaokuta to Kaduna to Kano gas pipeline which would move gas from the Southern part of the country to the North.
Malam Garba Shehu, the President’s spokesman in a statement in Abuja, said the Nigerian leader disclosed this while addressing the 5th Gas Exporting Countries Forum Summit at the Sipopo International Conference Hall, Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.
The President added that the viability of extending the gas pipeline to North Africa was also under consideration.
According to the President, the Paris Accord of 2015 signaled the first major global commitment to a deliberate effort on this inevitable transition.
