An intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for the planned $25 billion gas pipeline between Nigeria and Morocco is scheduled for signature this year, marking a significant milestone for the 6,900-kilometer energy project. Known as the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline, the initiative is designed with a maximum capacity of 30 billion cubic meters (bcm), of which 15 bcm is intended to supply the Moroccan market and facilitate exports to Europe.
The pipeline, which has the backing of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), has completed its feasibility study and front-end engineering design (FEED) stages.
