Nigeria: Maevis, FAAN know fate today

A Federal High Court in Lagos will today rule on the suit by an aviation services firm, Maevis Ltd, against the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, over alleged breach of contract.
Trial judge, Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako, adjourned to ruling on whether or not to stay proceedings in the matter, pending the separate appeals by FAAN in respect of the matter before the Court of Appeal, Lagos.
The  court, meanwhile, yesterday, said the Managing Director of FAAN, Mr. George Uriesi, must appear in court today to face the contempt proceedings filed against him over alleged disobedience to court order.
Uriesi, who was in court at the last adjourned date, was absent when the case came up, yesterday, but was said to have written a letter to the court, saying that he had to visit his doctors.
Maevis had dragged FAAN to court in the substantive suit, over alleged breach of contract for the provision of the Airport Operations Management System platform in four international airports in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt.
