West African Gas Pipeline Project to come on stream shortly
Tue, 13 March 2007
THE West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP) project is due to start service by 31 March, official sources said in February, following a regional summit held in Abuja between Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria, Yayi Boni of Benin, and Faure Gnassingbe of Togo. The WAGP project, run by the West African Gas Pipeline Co, is a regional initiative which involves transporting Nigeria’s natural gas to consumers in Benin, Togo, and Ghana, and with a planned extension to other members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
