"We now have the means and the tools to move forward. Each state is committed to contributing in an accelerated manner to this comprehensive project that will benefit the nations," the broadcaster quoted Nigerien Petroleum Minister Sahabi Oumarou as saying at a press conference following the fourth ministerial meeting of the TSGP steering committee held in Algeria's capital Algiers.
"Algeria fully supports this project and will continue to work with Nigeria and Niger to make this great African dream a reality and build a new energy future for Africa, a future in which our continent will play an important role in global energy security and the development of its peoples," Algeria Press Service quoted Arkab as saying on the sidelines of the ministerial meeting.
