Nigeria is withdrawing its lawsuits against Shell Plc alleging corruption in a decade-old oil field deal.
The country’s Ministry of Justice has ended civil proceedings related to an oil block known as OPL 245 before Italy’s highest court, according to a Shell spokesperson. Shell’s partner in the field, Eni SpA, confirmed on Thursday that it had received a letter from the government saying the claims would be withdrawn “unconditionally” by Friday.
