Corruption in Nigeria on industrial scale, British lawyer tells London court

The case stems from a contract for a gas project awarded by Nigeria in 2010 to a company called Process and Industrial Developments Limited (P&ID), Reuters reported.

The gas processing facility never materialised for reasons that are disputed. After years of legal wrangling, a London-based arbitration tribunal said in 2017 that Nigeria had not fulfilled its side of the contract and should pay P&ID $6.6 billion in compensation.
