LAGOS, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Nigeria is seeking $62 billion
from oil companies under regulations that allow the government
to revisit revenue-sharing deals on petroleum sales if crude
prices exceed $20 a barrel, the attorney general told Reuters on
Thursday.
"Computing the amount that should be credited to the
Nigerian government if the law was effectively applied, that
translates to around $62 billion against the IOCs (international
oil companies)," Abubakar Malami said in a telephone interview.
