However, the agreement broke down in 2016, leading to Zhongshan filing lawsuits in Nigerian courts, which failed.
The company then took the case to a French court, which awarded damages and prohibited Nigeria from moving or selling the presidential jets until the company was paid $74.5m.
Amosun described Zhongshan as a scammer and stated that the company’s claims for compensation were unfounded.
Why Nigeria should ignore Chinese firm
He insisted that Nigeria should not negotiate with Zhongshan, as it would encourage an unlawful entity to appropriate national assets.
Amosun explained that the state government had appointed Zhongfu as an interim zone manager in 2012 but later discovered that the company’s claims were lies.
