Lagos - The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is hosting a regional workshop in Lagos from Oct. 8 to 11 to review and validate the Host Government Agreement (HGA) for the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline project. The workshop is a key step in the development of the gas pipeline, a strategic project initiated by HM King Mohammed VI and former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, with the support of current President Bola Tinubu. The event follows multiple rounds of negotiations on the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) and HGA, previously held in Rabat, Marrakech and Abidjan. Jointly organized by the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the workshop brings together experts from ministerial departments and national oil companies from the 13 countries through which the pipeline will pass. The meeting is meant to finalize the draft HGA, which will be signed between each participating country and the project company. 'The presenc e of experts and representatives from all transit countries underscores anew their commitment to this strategic and structuring project," said an ONHYM representative, adding that "this flagship project reflects the relevance of South-South cooperation and will foster economic and social development, particularly by boosting industries across the region."
