The commencement of the Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline project is scheduled for the upcoming year. The announcement was made by the Federal Government of Nigeria, conveyed through the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, RT. Honorable Ekperikpe Ekpo. This declaration took place during a meeting between the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and a delegation of Moroccan envoys, headed by His Excellency Moha Ou Ali Tagma, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco to Nigeria.
The pipeline begins its route from Brass Island in Nigeria and extends to the northern region of Morocco. It smoothly connects with the established Maghreb European Pipeline, which starts in Algeria and extends to Spain. Spanning a distance of 5,600 kilometers, the initiative crosses through 13 African countries, creating crucial links between Nigeria, West African nations, Morocco, and eventually, Europe. The ongoing economic and technical studies are expected to conclude in early 2024.
The pipeline currently in the corridor has a 20-inch diameter. However, there is a plan to increase it to 46 inches after passing through Togo. This expansion is intended to improve the gas flow, emphasizing the importance of natural gas as a cleaner energy source.
The Ambassador emphasized that the project extends beyond gas transportation; it also seeks to create development opportunities for the countries located between Nigeria and Morocco, thereby contributing to energy supply in the region.
