LONDON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Nigeria on Monday hailed a landmark victory after it won its bid to overturn an $11 billion damages bill for a collapsed gas project, in a case a judge at London's High Court said exemplified the ravages of greed and corruption.
The Supreme Court has upheld the ruling by the Appeal Court that a candidate does not need to get at least 25% FCT (Federal Capital Territory) votes to be declared as the country’s president.
THE Judicial arm of government, especially at the Federal level, has always been seen as a platform for political muscle-flexing in Nigeria. The orientation of this notion has changed over the years as general rot set into the political system at large and the Judiciary in particular.
