The Federal Government and the Kingdom of Morocco on Monday
in Rabat, Morocco, signed three agreements as part of activities marking
President Muhammadu Buhari’s two-day visit to the country. According to a
statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Garba Shehu, the agreements included that of a regional gas pipeline
that would see Nigeria providing gas to countries in the West African
sub-region that extends to Morocco and Europe.
Shehu said the signing of the agreements, witnessed by
Buhari and the King of Morocco, Mohammed V1, followed a meeting between the two
African leaders. The meeting, he disclosed, focused on strengthening economic
relations in gas resource development, global investments, and agricultural
training and management.
They also signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the
development of a chemical plant in Nigeria for producing ammonia and its
derivatives. They signed a cooperation agreement on vocational training and
technical supervision, which will enhance skills on better management of
agricultural outfits in Nigeria.
