Nigeria and the Kingdom of Morocco have agreed to promote a regional gas pipeline project that would connect Nigeria’s gas resources, those of several West African countries and Morocco.

This is to foster regional economic integration.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyema, said this in a communiqué presented before the visiting Moroccan King President Mohammed VI and President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House, Abuja.

According to him, the gas pipeline project would also accelerate energy and electrification projects across the affected member countries.

He said the pipeline project would be designed with the participation of all parties involved to create a competitive regional electricity market with the potential to be connected to the European energy markets.

He said Nigeria and Morocco also agreed to develop integrated industrial clusters in the sub-region in sectors such as manufacturing, Agro-business and fertilizers to attract foreign capital and improve export competitiveness.

The minister said the two countries also agreed on stimulating the local transformation of widely available natural resources for both domestic and international.

“It is expected that multiple project opportunities will arise for industrial operators and financial capital by fostering deeper economic integration grounded on positive externalities, sustainable synergies and inclusive approaches

“This South-South open platform will accelerate the structural transformation of the national economies of the region, thereby putting the entire region on a higher growth path.
