West African leaders endorse a plan to build the Nigeria–Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP), a large infrastructure project intended to transport natural gas from Nigeria toward European markets. According to reports, the initiative is supported by regional leaders and is designed to carry Nigerian gas across multiple countries along Africa’s Atlantic coast. The pipeline is described as roughly 6,000 kilometers long and expected to traverse about 13 countries. Under the proposed routing, the gas is intended to reach Morocco first, where it would connect with existing downstream infrastructure. The plan includes linking the NMGP to the Maghreb–Europe pipeline network, which would allow gas to continue beyond North Africa toward Europe. The approvals signal progress on the broader effort to develop cross-border energy infrastructure in the region, although the reports provided focus primarily on endorsement and proposed technical scope rather than timelines, financing details, or construction start dates.
