What regulatory arrangements apply to WAPCos construction and operations?
Based on the West African Gas Pipeline Treaty signed by the Heads of State of Benin, Ghana, Nigeria and Togo in January 2003 and the International Project Agreement (IPA) signed between the four project countries and WAPCo in May 2003, a harmonized fiscal and regulatory framework has been established for cross-border construction and operation of the gas pipeline. The four countries have ratified the harmonized arrangements and enacted the enabling Legislations.
