Nigeria has won a major victory in its bid to overturn an $11 billion arbitration award in favour of Process & Industrial Developments .
In a judgment delivered by email on Monday, Robin Knowles, justice of the Commercial Courts of England and Wales, upheld Nigeria’s prayer on the ground that the ill-fated gas processing contract was obtained by fraud.Recall that in January 2017, a private arbitration tribunal ordered Nigeria to pay $6.6 billion to P&ID plus interest beginning from March 20, 2013.
With the interest rate fixed at seven percent, amounting to $1 million a day, the potential payment accumulated to over $11 billion.
