An intergovernmental agreement on the planned $25 billion Nigeria Morocco gas pipeline is set to be signed later this year, according to the head of Morocco’s National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines. The development marks a significant step forward in one of Africa’s most ambitious energy infrastructure projects.
The proposed pipeline, which will transport natural gas from Nigeria to Morocco, is designed to pass through several West African countries, strengthening regional energy cooperation and improving access to gas across the region. The project is also expected to connect to European markets, positioning both countries as key players in global energy supply chains.

Officials say the agreement will define the legal and regulatory framework for the project, paving the way for further investment, construction planning, and implementation phases. The pipeline is expected to support industrial growth, electricity generation, and economic development in participating countries.
Energy experts describe the Nigeria Morocco gas pipeline as a transformative initiative that could enhance energy security, create jobs, and deepen economic integration across West Africa. It is also seen as a strategic alternative route for gas exports, reducing dependence on traditional supply corridors.
The signing of the agreement is anticipated to attract international investors and development partners, as both Nigeria and Morocco continue to advance collaboration on large scale energy projects aimed at driving long term growth and regional stability.
