and 238 kilometres from Zaria to Kano.
The gas line will provide gas to cement firms, compressed natural gas users, power generation plants, and other industrial concerns, as well as residential customers, within the northern half of the country.
Nigeria plans to build three new gas-fired power plants, to be located in Abuja, Kaduna and Kano, which would use gas provided by the pipeline to generate 3,600 MW of power.
The 614 kilometer 40-inch gas pipeline Ajaokuta – Kaduna – Kano (AKK) Pipeline Project is estimated to cost about 2.8 billion dollars.
In January 2020, the Nigerian government announced a sovereign debt guarantee for $2.5 billion in financing for the pipeline's construction, and NNPC stated that they planned to have the funding secured from Chinese lenders by Q2 2020.
20 billion cubic meters per year is the Capacity of the Pipeline.
In July 2020, the construction of the pipeline project was officially launched and to be completed in 2023.
