Nigeria and Morocco has agreed to build a gas pipeline to Europe.
The corresponding memorandum was signed by National Nigerian Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), Moroccan Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM), and ECOWAS Energy Commissioner.
The proposed pipeline would connect the Nigerian and Moroccan gas networks, enabling Nigeria to supply both Europe and West Africa with its natural gas.
The project involves 16 African countries and would stretch for 6,000 kilometers along the continent’s Atlantic coast, ensuring energy supplies to land-locked Niger, Burkina-Faso, and Mali.
Nigeria has the highest known natural gas reserves of all on the continent: at least 5.8 trillion cubic meters, and potentially up to 17 trillion. The country has already emerged as a major supplier of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG).
