Nigeria has signed a pipeline deal which would transport billions of cubic metres of gas 4,128 kilometres (2,565 miles) from Nigeria in West Africa through Niger and on to Algeria.

Officials from the three countries on Tuesday signed the deal in Algiers, Algeria’s capital, aimed at accelerating the development of a vast natural gas pipeline toward Europe.

The Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline (TSGP) deal would also see the gas pumped through the undersea Mediterranean pipeline, Transmed to Italy, or loaded onto liquefied natural gas tankers for export.

The contracts centred on “an update of the feasibility study” and other issues, including non-disclosure agreements among their state energy companies.

The feasibility update will lay out the “required means for accelerating the development of this major project in a timely manner and at competitive costs,” Algerian Energy Minister Mohamed Arkab said.

While no update was given for the pipeline’s cost, which was estimated at launch at $10 billion, the project has been given new urgency by a surge in gas demand worldwide and soaring prices sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022

I can't be more proud this project is far from being a dream into becoming realistic. Despite obvious political tensions with Niger Republic, I was quite optimistic it would sail through. A great piece of news to us as it will spectacularly bolster the economic value of the oil and gas ecosystem, bearing in mind that only recently, Portugal has indicated interests in buying more gas from Nigeria. Nigeria becomes an emerging market to Europe. I am glad Gen Tchiani did not let his ego get in the way by allowing common sense prevailed. This speaks to the fact that Nigeria being the giant of Africa is not mere a slogan but a testament of Nigeria 's capacity and her spirit of tenacity. Nigeria is like a mother cloud hovering over the continent of Africa.
That being said, I'm firmly in consonance with the declaration of President Tinubu that no unconstitutional leadership will be tolerated by ECOWAS on the continent. I therefore urge the respective military juntas in West Africa l, as rapidly as possible to unveil a transition plan and inaugurate a transition committee to return their countries back to democratic government in the shortest possible time.

How about Nigeria use this critical factor of production to massively industrialise and ezport finished products to Europe?

Even if you must sell must you exhange thw precious gas for a currency like euro and dollar not backed by any value....if a trade by barter is done in critical infrastructure feom the beneficaries...the euros go straight to the politicians who by the way put tinubu there...

I dont know which is more sad your poor appraisal or the deal itself
