The United Kingdom-based gas company, Process and Industrial Developments Ltd , initiated the controversial gas flaring contract with the Federal Government under questionable circumstances, it was learnt on Thursday.
Gen. Danjuma according to Businessweek, was upset with Quinn when he found out he had applied for the contract without his consent. Gen. Danjuma was quoted as saying that the gas flaring project was originally his idea, recalling that one of his companies, Tita-Kuru Petrochemicals Ltd, spent $40 million preparing it and not Quinn.When Quinn applied for the contract himself, Danjuma was upset. “The realisation dawned that “my consultant was going to steal my project,” Businessweek quoted him as saying.He had no link whatsoever with the company.
Quinn’s company agreed to settle for $850 million, but the government of President Muhammadu Buhari rejected it. Quinn also worked in Ireland. In 1979 he and a partner, Brendan Cahill, formed an umbrella company, Industrial Consultants to oversee their interests. They began working with the government, for example getting a public grant worth $450,000 to start a videocassette factory near Dublin. The project went bust within two years.
