I Was ‘Madame Due Process,’ Ex-OPEC Head Says At Bribery Trial

Diezani Alison-Madueke said she sought to increase transparency and competition in Nigeria’s oil industry while she was minister overseeing the sector at a London trial where she faces criminal charges of bribery.

Alison-Madueke said that when she arrived as oil minister in 2010 she found an industry that was run by “a few cabals” and had intended to tackle the corruption that she said had ravaged the sector in the country.
