Relations between Morocco and Nigeria have been solid since the two countries strengthened their ties following King Mohammed VI’s “very successful” visit to Nigeria in 2016.
Since then various projects have been cemented including the strategic gas pipeline. The gas pipeline, which may stretch up towards Europe, will promote the emergence of an integrated North West African zone and enable the region to achieve energy independence, accelerate the implementation of electrification projects and develop important economic and industrial activities.
