President Bola Tinubu has applauded the judgement by Judge
Robin Knowles of the Business and Property Court in London, awarding a landmark
victory to the Federal Government of Nigeria over a firm known as Process &
Industrial Development (P&ID) Limited.
Following Judge Knowles’ dismissal of the $11.5 billion
value of the award plus accumulated interest, previously won by P&ID over a
failed 2010 deal to allegedly build a gas processing plant, on the grounds that
the award was obtained by fraud, President Tinubu commends the UK court for
prioritising the merits of the case above all other considerations.
“This landmark judgment proves conclusively that
nation-states will no longer be held hostage by economic conspiracies between
private firms and solitarily corrupt officials who conspire to extort and
indebt the very nations they swear to defend and protect.
“Today’s victory is not for Nigeria alone; it is for our long-exploited continent and for the developing world at large, which has for too long been on the receiving end of unjust economic malpractice and overt exploitation.
“Nigeria is appreciative of the tremendous efforts of the
defence team and acknowledges the role of the Federal Ministry of Justice and
the Office of the Attorney-General in defending Nigeria’s interest in this
case,” the President stated.
