PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Nigeria: Development Aid (25 March 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what the value is of UK official development assistance investments in the Indorama Eleme petrochemicals plant in Port Harcourt, Nigeria (a) in total and (b) through the (i) CDC Group, (ii) Private Infrastructure Investment Group, (iii) International Finance Corporation and (iv) African Development Bank.

Asked by:
Anna McMorrin (Labour)

While CDC Group (CDC), Private Infrastructure Investment Group (PIDG), International Finance Corporation (IFC), African Development Bank (AfDB) are funded by UK ODA, their investments are not solely funded by the UK. Details of CDC, PIDG, IFC and African Development Bank investments in Indorama are available from their websites. Investment into Indorama has helped Nigeria meet its domestic needs for urea fertiliser and plastics as well as shifting the country to be a net exporter.
