Former President Buhari Returns to Nigeria After Testifying in $2.3 Billion Arbitration Dispute

After testifying in the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Court of Arbitration in Paris, France, in a well-known arbitration dispute, former President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to Nigeria.

Bashir Ahmad, a former Special Assistant on Digital Communications, posted a video of Buhari getting off an aeroplane when he returned.

Nigeria and Sunrise Power, which filed the lawsuit in 2017 alleging a breach of contract for the construction of the 3,050MW Mambilla power plant in Taraba State, are at the centre of the arbitration, which is centred on a $2.3 billion dispute.

Originally, the $6 billion project was slated to be built, operated, and transferred.

Nigeria's defence heavily relies on Buhari's testimony.

The presidency claims several witnesses have voluntarily testified, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
