Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has welcomed Nigeria's victory in the arbitration dispute with Sunrise Power and Transmission Company Limited over the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project. An International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration tribunal in Paris rejected Sunrise Power's claims against Nigeria, including a demand for hundreds of millions of dollars arising from a 2020 settlement agreement. However, the tribunal's 616-page final award reportedly contained serious findings concerning Malami's handling of the settlement negotiations, including an alleged corrupt arrangement involving him and Sunrise promoter, Leno Adesanya. Malami called for honesty and transparency in interpreting the tribunal's findings.
