When was the OB3 project founded?
The OB3 Obiafu–Obrikom–Oben gas pipeline project itself is over 13 years old, meaning it began around 2013.
This timeline is confirmed by Africa oil & gas report, which states that construction has so far lasted over 13 years. The River Niger crossing portion alone took over six years to complete.

How many Nigerians were hired in the 36 states 774 LGA
No available source provides the number of Nigerians hired for the OB3 project or the River Niger Crossing.

All official statements from NNPC and media reports highlight:

The project was executed by NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company (NGIC)

Technical work was done with PCE Nigeria Limited

It involved advanced horizontal directional drilling (HDD)

But none of the reports mention workforce size, number of Nigerian workers, or job distribution. This means the information is either not publicly disclosed or not tracked in a transparent way.
