Done deal: Nigeria, Niger signed MoU for the pipeline and refinery projects in Katsina
Governor Aminu Bello Masari has attended the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding for Niger-Nigeria Hydrocarbon Pipeline and Refinery Projects by Nigerian Minister of State for Petroleum Ibe Kachikwu and Niger Republic Minister of Energy Mr Foumakoye Gado.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by President Muhammadu Buhari and President of the Niger Republic Mahamadou Issoufou.
President Muhammadu Buhari also inaugurated two Committees, a Steering Committee to be co-chaired by the Nigerian and Nigerien Petroleum Ministers.
The committees are to provide strategic leadership for the project; and a Technical Team to develop the implementation roadmap and strategy on both the refinery and pipeline projects.
It could be recalled that we reported earlier that this is the first step for the construction of the Black oil refinery in Mashi Local Government Area of Katsina State.
