Nigeria wishes to partner with the World Economic Forum (WEF) on the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline (AAGP) to connect Nigeria to Morocco, other African nations, and Europe. The nation’s vice president, Kashim Shettima, announced this desire during a bilateral meeting with WEF President Børge Brende in Davos, explaining that the pipeline aims to enhance energy security and drive economic growth. Shettima emphasized the strategic importance of the project amid Europe’s energy challenges as well as rising global energy demand. He explained that the initiative would also benefit West African nations eager to join the pipeline system, with plans to explore undersea routes for shared gains. Beyond the pipeline project, Shettima highlighted Abuja’s economic reforms, under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu, arguing that they set the country on a path of growth.
