Senate\u2019s Local Content Committee has expressed dissatisfaction with the delay in executing the $2.8 billion Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline Project by Brentex CPP Limited.<\/p>\n
During an interactive session with Brentex CPP Limited, chaired by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (PDP, Kogi Central), the committee specifically addressed the management of the $1.27 billion station execution component of the contract.<\/p>\n
Sani Abubakar, Chairman of Brentex CPP Limited, lamented to the committee that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd (NNPCL) is attempting to remove the $1.27 billion stations (TGS) component of the contract, which has contributed to the delay in execution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been in discussions with NNPCL for the past eighteen months regarding the descoping of the $1.27 billion stations. The delay in executing the contract is not our fault but rather a result of NNPCL\u2019s actions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In response, the committee chairperson pointed out that based on the information and documents submitted, NNPCL is considering descoping the stations component due to Brentex\u2019s failure to meet the agreed-upon pace of work.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s be honest here. The project was supposed to be completed in 2022, then extended to 2023, and recently extended again to a completion date of May 2025. As far as stakeholders are aware, the stations are under your control as part of the $1.27 billion, and the delay lies with you,\u201d she emphasised.<\/p>\n
The committee requested that Brentex CPP Limited provide all correspondence between the company and NNPCL to gather more information.<\/p>\n
They also requested the letter from NNPCL stating the descoping conditions, as it is likely that they would make such a decision with a valid reason.<\/p>\n
