ASHENEWS reports that President Bola Tinubu has applauded a judgment by the Business and Property Court in London which awarded victory to the Federal Government of Nigeria over a firm known as Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) Limited.
The president in a statement signed by his Special Adviser in Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale said that the judgment was a testament to Nigeria’s resolve to fight exploitation.
“This landmark judgment proves conclusively that nation states will no longer be held hostage by economic conspiracies between private firms and solitarily corrupt officials who conspire to extort and indebt the very nations they swear to defend and protect.
“Today’s victory is not for Nigeria alone. It is a victory for our long exploited continent and for the developing world at large, which has for too long been on the receiving end of unjust economic malpractice and overt exploitation.”
The statement commended the tremendous efforts of the defense team and also acknowledged the role of the Federal Ministry of Justice and the Office of the Attorney-General in the process of defending Nigeria’s interest in this case.
