$25 billion Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline nears approval

As a $25 billion pipeline connecting Nigeria’s natural gas reserves to Morocco nears approval, regional fractures persist, threatening the project’s stability.

Amina Benkhadra, Director General of Morocco’s National Office of Hydrocarbures and Mines (ONHYM), announced the advancement of a 6,900-kilometer infrastructure project during the 17th US-Africa Business Summit in Luanda, which concluded on June 25th, according to Moroccan-friendly outlet, Moroccan World News.

The project’s Intergovernmental Agreement has cleared ministerial hurdles and received ECOWAS backing. The final step is now a signature by national leaders, according to Benkhadra who stated: “The official signature by the heads of state will constitute the final institutional milestone before implementation begins.”
