Signing a memorandum on a new gasket between Nigeria, Morocco and ECOWAS
LAGOS SEPTEMBER 19TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The corresponding memorandum was signed by National Nigerian Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), Moroccan Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM), and ECOWAS Energy Commissioner.

The project involves 16 African countries and would stretch for 6,000 kilometers along the continent’s Atlantic coast, ensuring energy supplies to land-locked Niger, Burkina-Faso, and Mali.
