A committee working on the proposed gas pipeline linking Nigeria, Niger, and Libya has held a new round of meetings aimed at pushing the project forward, according to officials involved in the discussions.

The session, held on Sunday, focused on reviewing early-stage engineering studies and technical concepts that will guide the design of the long-distance energy project.

Participants also worked on preparations for a formal agreement with Nigeria, which is expected to define cooperation between the countries.

Officials said the discussions are part of ongoing coordination efforts among the three nations as they assess whether the project is technically and economically viable.

The committee is also working to outline the next steps required to move from planning into more advanced development stages.
Libya’s Ministry of Oil and Gas described the meeting as part of broader efforts to strengthen collaboration between the partner countries while refining the technical framework needed for implementation.

The proposed pipeline, once completed, is expected to transport natural gas across West and North Africa toward Mediterranean export routes, potentially expanding regional energy connectivity. However, it remains at the evaluation stage, with feasibility studies and intergovernmental agreements still under development.
