African leaders have formally endorsed the $25bn Nigeria-Morocco Atlantic Gas Pipeline, a 6,000km offshore project expected to begin construction in 2028 and carry 30bn cubic metres of gas annually to 400 million consumers across West Africa and Europe. The agreement establishes legal and governance frameworks after a decade of negotiations, though financing, offshore engineering complexity, and political stability across 13+ participating nations remain significant obstacles.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you supply offshore pipeline engineering, subsea connectors, or gas-handling equipment, this project just entered its financing phase—you have 18 months to be in the bid. The route avoids the Sahel but adds cost and complexity; the real bottleneck is now capital and political security, not engineering feasibility.
