Africa shifts with Nigeria-Morocco pipeline
This article reviews the Atlantic African Gas Pipeline project, which stretches approximately 6,900 kilometers between Nigeria and Morocco. Its aim is to supply Europe and West Africa with around 30 billion cubic meters of gas annually. International organizations have anticipated that gas will start flowing from the first section in 2031, but the financing and establishment processes are still under negotiation. The project’s background involves a struggle for influence, characterized by international funding and disputes between two routes—one through Algeria and the other across the African coast. The project presents an opportunity to enhance West Africa’s capacity for electricity generation and industrial development, as well as to enable Morocco to expand its influence in the region. Securing sufficient funding and guarantees is crucial to ensure its success.
