RABAT / ABUJA — The landmark Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP), envisioned as the world's longest offshore pipeline corridor, crossed a definitive technical and legal threshold today.
Spanning over 5,600 kilometers and traversing Benin, Togo, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, The Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania, and Morocco before connecting into the European pipeline grid, the infrastructure is engineered to transport 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually.
Beyond exports, the pipeline prioritizes regional electrification: over 15 industrial power stations will tap the feed along the Gulf of Guinea, eliminating diesel generators in key industrial zones.
