Background

In 2004, Dangote Industries Limited in conjunction with Kogi State and the Federal Government of Nigeria proposed to construct a cement factory at Obajana in Kogi State.  The factory would be equipped with a 75 MW – 100 MW Gas turbines with the natural gas supply will originating from a tie-in point on the Nigerian Gas Company, Oben - Ajaokuta gas supply line.  At the time of environmental impact assessment for pipeline construction, the envisaged gas volume requirement was 62.40 Mmscfd.
