In a significant development for Nigeria’s energy sector and digital connectivity, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) today announced the successful completion of the critical River Niger crossing on the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline Project. This marks a major milestone in the country’s gas infrastructure development, with the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPCL, Mr. Bayo Ojulari, confirming the achievement at the Nigeria Oil and Gas Energy Week Conference in Abuja. This achievement brings the nation closer to enhanced domestic gas utilization, improved power generation, and the creation of new industrial corridors, particularly in northern Nigeria.
In related news that will bring cheer to many, Starlink, the satellite internet service by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has officially resumed new customer activations across Nigeria. After more than seven months of suspension, Starlink is once again accepting new orders in major cities including Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt, expanding access to high-speed internet for countless Nigerians. This resumption is expected to significantly boost digital inclusion and economic activities across the country.
These two developments signal positive strides in both infrastructure development and digital access, crucial for Nigeria’s continued growth and progress.
