The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has launched five Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) mini-plants in Ajaokuta, Kogi State, marking a significant milestone in Nigeria’s energy sector.
The five mini-plants, namely PRIME LNG, NGML/Gasnexus LNG, BUA LNG, Highland LNG, and LNG Arete, will utilize natural gas from existing pipelines as their feedstock.
The main source pipeline for these mini-plants is the AKK pipeline, also known as the Ajaokuta-Kano-Kaduna gas pipeline, which is currently under construction by the Federal Government.
These plants are designed to serve gas to areas of the country that currently lack gas infrastructure, promoting energy accessibility and economic growth.
This development is part of NNPC’s broader strategy to strengthen Nigeria’s gas infrastructure, increase domestic energy supply, and create jobs.
The project also aligns with the company’s vision of ensuring energy security, sustainability, and affordability.
