*U.S Sues Nigeria Up To $16m For Unpaid Taxes
By Masterweb News Desk

The city of New York claims the government of Nigeria owes her $4.1 to $16 million in real estate taxes and interest on the Manhattan building that houses Consulate General of Nigeria. The building is located at 828 2nd Ave. (Corner of 44th St. & 2nd Ave.), New York, NY 10017, U.S.A.

New York City on Monday filed a lawsuit against Nigeria in US federal court demanding payment for back taxes and interest.

Attempts by Masterweb to reach officials of Consulate General of Nigeria on the phone were unsuccessful. The Consulate might have been closed at the time of the phone call, or nobody was on seat to answer the call.
