One hellvua supply chain scrap could be shaping up
Utterly absorbing account in London Review of Books of an episode in the life of an investigator hired by an oil company to follow-up allegations of corruption in the company’s oil & gas supply chain in Nigeria.

But bribes and corruption are endemic to the oil industry in Nigeria, and this account shows just how difficult it is to bring those who contravene the rules to book.
