The Group Managing Director (GMD), Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru, yesterday said Nigeria and Morocco have completed the feasibility study for the construction of the 5,660km Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline.
He said the pre-Final Investment Decision (FID) for the pipeline was currently ongoing, adding that the facility would boost the region’s industries when completed.
