Kano state Governor, Dr. Abdullai Umar Ganduje has issued a notice of land acquisition in line with the Land Use Act No. 6 of 1978 LFN CAP 202, to allow for land for the execution of the Federal Government’s Trans-Nigeria Gas Pipeline Project starting from Ajaokuta-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano (AAKK), The Nation reports.

According to a statement signed by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Abba Anwar, Ganduje issued the notice on the 21st of April, 2018. To assure all those affected by the Federal Government project of quick and effective compensation, the Governor assured that, “the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation is willing to pay compensation in respect to crops, building structures and unexhausted improvement on the land in accordance with Section 29 of the Land Use Act 1978.”

The affected land areas where this developmental project goes through are Tarau-Gwarzo road, Crossing of Chiromawa River, Chiromawa Garun Malam road, Crossing Tamburawa River and other areas that include Crossing of 33KVA high tension (TNGS0451R), amongst others. It was observed that the project would bring much development to Kano state, where the mega gas pipeline project will be established and that the state’s failing industries would have an effective window through which they would be reinvigorated.
