The Managing Director of West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo), Michelle Burkett, met with the Togolese Minister for Mines and Energy Resources, Hon. Robert Messa Koffi Eklo, to discuss crucial issues related to sustainable gas supply for electricity generation and industrial development in Togo.
The discussion also focused on the West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP) Fiscal Amendment.
The MD shared details about WAPCo’s planned subsea valve maintenance offshore Lomé, scheduled for 2026, assuring that only the Lomé Lateral would be affected and for a shorter duration than the February 2025 shutdown.
The Togolese Minister suggested aligning the maintenance with peak hydro power availability to minimize the impact on the population.
“At WAPCo, we value our partnerships across the WAGP States and remain committed to reliable service,” Michelle Burkett said.
“In 2023 and 2024, WAPCo transported more than double the contracted gas volumes to Togo, further reflecting our dedication to supporting the region’s energy goals.”
Michelle Burkett was accompanied by WAPCo’s General Counsel, Odey Simon Adamade, and External Relations Assistant (Togo), Gnimzoum Mawaba Kegbegnou.
