Nigeria's $11 Billion Damages Bill For Failed Gas Deal Thrown Out By London Cour by Maskedmajesticm: 9:37am On Dec 23, 2023
Nigeria is off the hook for an $11 billion damages bill over a collapsed gas processing project that was procured by bribery after the award was thrown out by London's High Court.

The West African country faced having to pay the sum – representing around a third of its foreign exchange reserves – to Process & Industrial Developments (P&ID), a company based in the British Virgin Islands.

But the High Court ruled in October that P&ID paid bribes to a Nigerian oil ministry official in connection with the gas contract signed in 2010, and failed to disclose this when it took Nigeria to arbitration over the collapse of the deal.

The ruling was a major boost for Africa's biggest economy, which is saddled with mounting debt, high inflation and unemployment, and was described by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu as a blow against economic malpractice and the exploitation of Africa.

My question is why is then Minister not in jail already?

You see why I keep saying that the development of this country should be deliberate. We can't keep overlooking this kind of things thereby traveling in circles hoping that the eldorado we envision will just appear from no where.
