“The Nigeria-ECOWAS gas pipeline project to Morocco and beyond is a model of regional integration that will change the face of Atlantic Africa”, said Wednesday in Rabat Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita. Echoing him, Nigeria’s Foreign Minister described as “revolutionary” the economic cooperation between his country and Morocco. Onyeama also welcomed Morocco’s excellent initiative to organize the first ministerial meeting of African Atlantic States, stressing that this initiative will benefit Atlantic Africa as well as the whole of the Continent. He added that each time he visits Morocco, he is impressed to see that “things are improving” in a palpable way. The gas pipeline’s benefits transcend channeling Nigerian gas to Morocco and Europe to promote trade, regional cooperation and energy diversification in West Africa.
