The Chairman Senate Committee on Local Content, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has disclosed that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited is set to establish five mini-liquefied natural gas plants in Ajaokuta Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The senator made the revelation on Tuesday at the Practical Nigerian Content Forum organised by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board in Bayelsa State.
Akpoti-Uduaghan said the projects would be flagged off next year, describing it as the largest concentration of such projects in one district.
“I would like to appreciate NNPC and the industry experts who have also considered and humbled us at Ajaokuta Local Government, with the (not too sure if it’s too early to speak about it), establishment of five mini LNG plants which will be flagged off early next year.
“And this is actually the largest concentration of such projects in one district in the entire country. Five, not one, two, three, four, but five mini LNG plants will be established in Ajaokuta by God’s grace next year.”
