The United States government has expressed interest in investing in the Nigeria–Morocco gas pipeline project, a megaproject aimed at linking both countries along the Atlantic coast, passing through thirteen West African nations and extending to Europe.
Nigeria’s Foreign Minister, Wale Edun, revealed this following discussions held during the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group.
According to the Minister, US officials signalled Washington’s support for Nigeria’s ongoing structural reforms, with the goal of boosting international investor confidence.
In addition, talks also focused on investment opportunities in digital infrastructure, agriculture, and other priority sectors expected to drive economic growth.
Furthermore, Edun noted that the United States expressed a willingness to support Nigeria in tackling funding challenges arising from a decline in USAID activities, by providing increased technical assistance.
If completed, the pipeline could become a critical energy corridor from Africa to Europe, boosting regional economies and global energy supply.
