The proposed Nigeria–Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP) has been recognized both locally and internationally as one of Africa’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, with the potential to enhance energy integration, strengthen regional economic cooperation, and improve energy security across West and North Africa. However, there are growing concerns that, without targeted policy interventions, the NMGP could reinforce existing regional inequalities rather than address them. This study assesses the readiness of each country along the pipeline to benefit from the regional energy integration the project intends to foster. Using a custom-built Energy Integration Index, the study applies a comparative, indicator-based framework to evaluate energy access, natural gas consumption patterns, and economic capacity across 13 transit countries. The findings provide data-driven insights to guide regional energy planning and support governance strategies that align national development goals with broader regional integration efforts.
