China’s Jingye Group, a leading steel manufacturer, is preparing to be majorly involved in the mega gas pipeline project that will connect Nigeria to Morocco.
This giant project, estimated to cost around $26 billion, aims to connect West Africa to Morocco and Europe, which will help reshape the region’s energy and economic landscape.
Against this background, Zhang Yuanyuan, deputy director of the international marketing department of Jingyi Group, said that the company will provide high-quality steel products for the project through cooperation with many international partners.
The group also brings its extensive experience in the industry, notably through its British subsidiary Jingye British Steel, acquired in 2020, and which has already contributed to major international projects such as the Beijing Daxing airport and the “Crossrail” project in the United Kingdom.
The project aims to improve access to natural gas for countries on the African Atlantic coast and to strengthen energy links with Europe.
In 2025, Morocco’s National Hydrocarbons and Minerals Office is expected to launch the tender process for the Moroccan portion of the 1,672-kilometer gas pipeline.
The first phase of the project includes the countries of Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal, which will help boost regional economic growth, attract investments and improve infrastructure in these countries.
