Chinese company await positive response from Nigeria

Zhongshan reiterated its willingness to engage in serious negotiations with the Nigerian government to reach a settlement but noted that it is still waiting for a positive response from the authorities.

A French court has authorized the seizure of three presidential jets linked to the Nigerian government as part of enforcement efforts to ensure that Zhongshan receives $74.5 million in compensation awarded by the arbitration panel. Bailiffs have served legal papers preventing the movement, sale, or purchase of the jets until the compensation is paid.

Zhongshan stated that the French court was fully aware of the facts when it made its decision. The company emphasized that it has only sought to assert its rights under international law and is confident in its case. The independent arbitral panel was found unanimously in its favour, and courts in multiple countries have upheld the view that the panel’s compensation should be enforced.
