to the United Kingdom for a fresh legal battle with a British firm, Process and Industrial Developments Ltd on Thursday.
The Federal Government had, through the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, on August 26, described the judgment as an assault on all Nigerians Malami was asked whether the government would be filing a new case based on recent developments, especially the conviction it secured against the firm in Abuja on Thursday or would build on the previous judgment.
He said, “No possibility is ruled out. The options available to us include the possibility of filing a new case and or using existing proceedings to seek relief of setting aside the award . Nothing can be ruled out.” He said the Federal Government would tender before the court evidence that the Gas Supply Processing Agreement signed in 2010, which led to the judgment of the British court, was rooted in fraud and corrupt practices.
Malami had said, “It has not got to any appeal stage as such. The arbitral panel had no enforcement power. So, when an award is made you have to approach the conventional court for the enforcement of the award.“The conventional court said it was not going to give an order for the enforcement of the order until they were heard.
They have mismanaged this country 😥
What waste of time and government resources. They are not witnesses what the hell are they going there to say and do
IG? What for?
'They had wanted an order ex parte without putting us on notice to attach (for seizure) our assets. But the court said it would have to hear from the other side (Nigeria) in the enforcement proceedings.' Cheats!
