Process & Industrial Developments (P&ID) Ltd has described Abubakar Malami, Nigeria’s attorney-general, as “incompetent” in its closing submissions before the High Court of Justice Business and Property Courts of England
Nigeria is seeking to overturn a 2017 arbitration award of $6.6 billion plus interests in favour of P&ID over a failed gas supply and processing agreement .
