Point of clarification: The headline says it was an $882 million contract; the link to the testimony of the Asst. Secretary of Energy identifies the Enron contract as $82 million.

I know: a million here, a million there, and pretty soon we're talking real money, but for the sake of accuracy, isn't it actually $82 million, not $882m.?

Enron and its Nigerian joint venture partner signed the $82 million deal with NEPA and the power ministry in the capital Abuja. Enron and the Lagos state government entered a joint venture earlier in 1999 to build an $800 million gas-powered plant with capacity for 540 Megawatt (MW) to augment supply to the city.

$82 million for the barges, plus $800 million for the plant, equals $882 million.

Two contracts..... one for $82 mill for emergency power and one for $800 mill for power plants.... equal $882 mill.

But as you say a mill here and a mill there.....

I think it's more like $82 million, cause I keep getting emails wanting my help in getting the money out of Nigeria, hee hee.
