ECOWAS Summit Supports Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline
The West African Countries Group (ECOWAS) has launched a new phase of the Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline project, with the signing of an international intergovernmental agreement in Freetown. This marks a transition from technical studies to the completion of the project's institutional and financial framework. The pipeline, which extends approximately 6,800 kilometers from the Atlantic coast in Nigeria through several West African countries to Morocco, aims to transport natural gas, enhance regional energy security, and connect Africa with Europe. The agreement includes the establishment of a project company and an oversight authority. The legal framework is expected to be finalized through the signature of agreements by Morocco and Mauritania, paving the way for project financing and the commencement of implementation. This collaboration promotes economic and energy integration across Africa, with fieldwork expected to begin in the upcoming phase.
