Rusal to open Nigeria metal plant http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7087073.stm
Russia Aluminium (Rusal), the world's largest aluminium producer, plans to reopen a former state-owned smelting plant in Nigeria in January.
The Alscon smelter based in south-eastern Nigeria, was built for $2.5bn (£1,2bn) in 1997 and has been closed for almost nine years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7087073.stm
