Nigeria has taken a significant step towards enhancing gas supplies to European markets by signing agreements with Algeria and the Republic of Niger to advance the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline (TSGP) project.
The agreements were signed by officials from the three African countries at a meeting in Algiers, Algeria’s capital, on February 11, 2025.
The signed agreements involve energy companies from the three countries and include a contract to update the project’s feasibility study, a compensation agreement, and a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
This development is a strategic initiative to establish a continental pipeline for transporting natural gas from Nigeria, through Niger, to Algeria, and eventually to European markets and other international destinations.
The TSGP project aims to link Africa’s vast gas reserves to European markets, with the pipeline spanning over 4,128 kilometers, including 1,037 kilometers in Nigeria, 841 kilometers in Niger, and 2,310 kilometers in Algeria.
The project is expected to facilitate the export of natural gas to European markets and other international destinations, strengthening the region’s energy cooperation and economic ties.
