King Mohammed VI extends invitation to Nigeria’s President to visit Morocco

King Mohammed VI has extended an invitation to Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu to visit Morocco.

The monarch extended the invitation during a phone call with the Nigerian President this Tuesday.

A statement from the royal palace said the phone call focused on the development of bilateral relations between the two countries over the past few years.

The discussion also covered the African-Atlantic Gas Pipeline Nigeria-Morocco project; a structuring project that will be a strategic lever for regional integration and economic and social development for all West African countries.

Initiated first by King Mohammed VI and former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari in 2016, the pipeline aims to promote regional integration and reinforce Africa’s energy security.

The Morocco-Nigeria gas pipeline project is designed to promote regional integration as well as to boost shared economic growth.

The pipeline is set to connect over 11 countries in the region to benefit from Nigerian gas sources.

Many countries have endorsed the project.
