The Libya Africa Investment Portfolio (LAIP) received, Wednesday 26 November 2025, the Chargé d’Affaires of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Libya. The meeting was attended by the Chairman of LAIP’s Board of Directors, members of the High Committee for the Libya Africa Trans Corridors Project, and the Director of the African Affairs Department at the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The meeting forms part of the High Committee’s action plan to engage with the concerned African states, enhance regional cooperation, and advance the project according to the planned timetable.

During the meeting, the Committee delivered a comprehensive presentation of the project’s routes and strategic objectives, reviewed the infrastructure to be implemented, and outlined the investment and development opportunities it will generate. The presentation emphasised the project’s capacity to strengthen Libya’s logistical position, support regional integration, and create wide-ranging economic and social impact across Libya and the African continent.

The Nigerian Chargé d’Affaires expressed his appreciation for the importance of the project and the role it is expected to play. Both sides agreed to prepare for an expanded meeting between officials of the two countries to continue consultations and strengthen partnership within the framework of the project’s implementation.

This meeting follows a session held about two weeks earlier between LAIP and representatives of the African Union Commission, who welcomed the project, reaffirmed their support, and confirmed the Commission’s commitment to endorsing, promoting, and integrating it within the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA).

Members also discussed outcomes from the Committee’s joint meeting with the General Authority for Telecommunications and Informatics, held on 18 August 2025.

The session concluded with two key directives:
• Coordinating and completing a series of scheduled meetings with relevant government bodies to ensure full alignment in project implementation.
• Preparing a comprehensive report summarising the work of the two subcommittees tasked with data collection, drafting the consulting office’s scope, and recommending optimal routes for the two transit corridors in line with Cabinet Resolution No. 535 (2024). The report will be submitted to the Minister of Transport, along with supporting annexes, paving the way for the Committee to finalise the remaining action items in its approved plan.

The meeting is part of a series of regular sessions aimed at maintaining the project’s momentum.

The Transit Corridors initiative is being implemented under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport, with the active participation of multiple government agencies.

On the morning of Monday, 28 July 2025, the sixth regular meeting of the Joint High Committee for the Libya Africa Transit Corridors Project was held at the headquarters of the Railway Project Implementation and Management Agency.

The meeting focused on following up on the recommendations issued during the previous session and reviewing updates from the sectoral subcommittees. Discussions covered data collection efforts, the development of the consultancy firm’s scope of work, and the presentation of the most appropriate proposals for the two corridor routes, in line with Cabinet Resolution No. 535 of 2024.

In this context, the committee reviewed the final report prepared by the First Subcommittee, which had been tasked with collecting data and drafting the scope of work document for the consultancy firm that will undertake the project’s economic feasibility study. Following discussion of the report’s contents and consideration of the comments received, the committee approved the report.

The committee also emphasised the importance of receiving the final report from the Second Subcommittee regarding the proposed routes, as a prerequisite for launching the tender process for specialised international consultancy firms to carry out the comprehensive economic feasibility study.

This meeting forms part of the committee’s ongoing oversight of the project, in line with the approved timeline. The Libya Africa Transit Corridors Project is regarded as a pivotal step towards enhancing internal and regional connectivity, positioning Libya as a logistics hub on the continent, and supporting trans-Saharan trade flows.
