#DidYouKnow

Nigeria (@NNPCgroup) and Morocco (#ONHYM) are teaming together to build the longest offshore pipeline in the world and second longest pipeline in the world.

It will carry gas from Nigeria to Morocco (& Europe), running across 11 West African countries.

#Thread
The Agreement for the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP) was originally signed by the two countries when President @MBuhari paid a State Visit to Morocco in June 2018.

Remember that Visit that birthed this famous photo? (See #PMBinMorocco for details).
“26 April 2022: We've been awarded a contract to provide main front-end engineering design (FEED Phase II) services for the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP) project. The engineering study is progressing in accordance with the initial project planning.” — @Worley_ECR
“When completed, the over 7,000 km long gas pipeline… will link #Nigeria with #Morocco, cross 11 west African countries and extend to Europe. It will be the longest offshore pipeline in the world and the second longest pipeline overall.” — @Worley_ECR worley.com/news-and-media…
By the way, @isdb_group has also committed some financing to the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) Study for the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP) project: isdb.org/news/signature…
“The Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study is an important milestone for a strategic project: the Nigeria Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP) project sponsored by His Majesty King Mohammed VI and His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari.” — @isdb_group isdb.org/news/signature…
The goal is to take FID on the #Nigeria-#Morocco Gas Pipeline project (NMGP) by 2023.

“The Project aims at preparing the required studies for the gas pipeline and help taking the Final Investment Decision (FID) by 2023 for the infrastructure project.” isdb.org/news/signature…
“As per the agreement between Morocco and Nigeria Governments @NigeriaGov, both countries will share equally the (FEED) Project cost which is estimated at USD 90.1 million.” — @isdb_group
Dec2021: “IsDB will support the Moroccan contribution & participate in financing of the project up to an amount of $15.45m… For the Nigerian Contribution, IsDB has approved financing of $29.75m, which will bring the contribution of the Bank to 50% of total cost of FEED study…”

You’ll never find the President or VP or anyone in @NigeriaGov suggesting APC has made Nigeria perfect, or that country still doesn’t have MANY challenges. What you’ll instead find is strong arguments for how the challenges are being tackled, and what is changing for the better.
Arguments like the following:
Building one of the largest Social Investment programmes in the world, because any country that seeks to truly develop must have a functioning social safety net. Hence efforts like @growthplat_me and @npower_ng etc. Image

Still on gas, Nigeria building its largest domestic pipeline system ever, the $2.8B, 614km Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano pipeline. Will form part of Trans Saharan Gas Pipeline (TSGP). Primary EPC Contractor is Oilserv Limited, whose Chairman, Emeka Okwuosa is from Anambra State.
#Thread
My colleague @AjuriNgelale has produced a fantastic report on the #AKKGasPipeline project. It showed tonight on @channelstv, and you can find on YouTube here:
"When Pres. Buhari came to power in 2015, he made domestic gas infra devpt a cardinal project. This project has been on drawing board since 2008,2009. He made it happen. What this project shows clearly is the dedication of PMB to local content & capacity." vanguardngr.com/2020/07/how-aj…

There’s a video you might have seen of stolen Canadian vehicles being shipped to Nigeria to be sold

@FinMinNigeria is rolling out this VIN-based system to tackle scenarios like this: vreg.gov.ng

I’ll try & get update soon on how far they’ve gone with implementation.
“The National Vehicle Registry is the centralized database for all vehicles in Nigeria using their unique Vehicle Identification Nos (VIN). This registry stores detailed vehicular information such as specifications, ownership & history of each vehicle in Nigeria.”—@FinMinNigeria
“Why do we need VREG?

@FinMinNigeria created VREG as a solution to the menaces of customs duty evasion, vehicle theft, vehicle-related crimes, ineffective vehicle insurance coverage, among others owing to the absence of a centralized nationwide vehicular information system.”

Facility management is the bane of Nigerian Infrastructure, right?

Good news is things are changing. For example the new National Theatre Complex will have a dedicated (private) facility manager. Facility Mgt agreement already signed by @FMICNigeria/@cenbank /BankersCtte
#Thread
.@NigeriaGov now has facility management contracts in 24 Federal Secretariat complexes across the country. According to @FMWHNIG, each facility manager employs no fewer than 40 people.
Also, @NigeriaGov has established a new Department, to oversee “Federal Public Assets Management”, at @FMWHNIG. (See No. 9 below)
