The Federal Government of Nigeria has won the legal case against Process & Industrial Developments (P&ID) Limited in a London court on Monday, October 23, 2023.

The judgment was delivered after 5 years of legal frameworks which have finally been to the advantage of Nigeria, as the court quashed the $11 billion arbitration award in favour of P&ID.

In a ruling delivered by e-mail, Robin Knowles, the Justice of the Commercial Courts of England & Wales, upheld Nigeria’s prayer on the ground that the ill-fated gas processing contract was obtained by fraud.
