A lawyer representing Africa’s largest crude producer has disclosed that Nigeria will continue its $3.5bn civil claim against Shell Plc and Eni SpA after Italian prosecutors dropped criminal proceedings against the companies.

According to Bloomberg, Nigeria which joined the case as a civil party in 2018, has plans to appeal the March 2021 ruling by a court in Milan.
