The West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP) will see an extension in the near future if plans between Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire go as planned. According to reports NNPC will extend the pipeline from Ghana to Cote d’Ivoire, as part of the Nigerian government’s West African energy integration policy.

Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. MaikantiBaru, revealed the news while receiving a delegation from Cote d’Ivoire at the NNPC Towers in Abuja.

The extension of the pipeline will facilitate easy transmission of gas within the West Africa sub-region.

Deputy Director, Production, of Ministry of Petroleum, Cote d’Ivoire, Mr Patrick Marshal, said the visit was to learn from Nigeria some of its best practices in personnel management, exploration and production in the oil and gas industry.
