Seized presidential jet: Judgment creditor, Chinese firm ready for talks with FG.
The Chinese company behind the seizure of three Nigerian government presidential jets, Zhongshan, has said it is open to discussions and committed to settling the face-off between it and the Nigerian government.
Zhongshan, the Chinese company whose export processing zone management contract was revoked by the Ogun State Government in 2016, had sought the intervention of the French court in his contractual dispute with the state government.
Following this move, the court ordered the seizure of the Federal Government’s jets, having been a respondent in the matter.
It will be recalled that on June 29, 2010, Zhuhai Zhongfu Industrial Group Co Ltd, the parent company of Zhongshan, and the Ogun Guangdong Free Trade Zone entered into an agreement on the establishment of Fucheng Industrial Park within the zone.
This agreement gave Zhuhan the right to develop and run Fucheng Park within the zone.
The Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority registered Zhongfu International Investment Nig, a subsidiary of Zhongshan, as a free trade zone enterprise within the OGFZ in 2011.
The state government later appointed Zhongfu as the interim manager/administrator of the zone.
However, in July 2016, Zhongfu alleged that the government had moved to terminate its appointment and appoint another manager for the free trade zone.
This caused the Chinese company to commence an investment treaty arbitration against Nigeria, citing the bilateral investment treaty between the People’s Republic of China and Nigeria.
In the cause of the legal battle, an arbitral tribunal awarded Zhongshan about $74.5m in compensation, but the Ogun State Government, which has an axe to grind with Zhongshan, did not honor the award.
Zhongshan’s statement reads, “Zhongshan has only ever sought to assert its rights under international law and is confident in its case. The independent arbitral panel was found unanimously in its favor, and courts in multiple countries have upheld the view that the panel’s compensation should be enforced. The French court was fully aware of the facts when it reached its decision.
“Far from being just a fence, the Ogun Free Trade Zone was featured as a significant international investment by the Economist Intelligence Unit.
“Zhongshan has for a long time been ready to enter serious negotiations with the Federal Government of Nigeria to settle this case and still awaits an indication that the government is equally willing.”
However, the Ogun State government’s response to the incident, was that it described the French court’s verdict as unfair.
Media aide to the state governor, Kayode Akinmade, noted that the aircraft in question, “Are used solely for sovereign purposes and as such are immune from attachment under international and French law. In obtaining the provisional attachments, Zhongshan deliberately withheld information from the Federal Government of Nigeria, Ogun State, and their legal counsel.”
The Federal Government also condemned the seizure of the aircraft, stating that it would explore legal and diplomatic means to resolve the matter.

“It took me getting married and giving birth to realise marriage benefits men more” — Woman shares emotional thoughts
A woman has stirred serious conversations online after opening up about how marriage and motherhood changed her perspective on life.
In a heartfelt reflection, she said it was only after getting married and giving birth that she began questioning who marriage truly benefits.
According to her, women often carry the heavier load — emotionally, physically, and mentally.
She explained that marriage can make women feel like tools, responsible for cooking, cleaning, caring for the home, and even contributing financially, while still bearing the full weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.
She questioned why something described as a “blessing” should come with so much pain, stress, sleepless nights, and emotional strain for women.
In her words, childbirth comes with intense pain, followed by years of responsibility that largely fall on the woman, while many men continue life almost unchanged.
She admitted she never strongly pushed for marriage herself and only went along with it after family pressure. It was the lived experience — not theory — that opened her eyes.
While she made it clear that she loves her son deeply and finds joy in him, she said motherhood also forced her to confront uncomfortable truths about expectations placed on women.
