 LAGOS GOVT DEBUNKS BUDGETING N4.2B FOR PURCHASE OF FURNITURE, MICROPHONES FOR DEPUTY GOVERNOR'S OFFICE   The Lagos State Government has debunked the allegation that N4.2 billion is proposed in the Year 2026 budget for the purchase of furniture and 30 microphones for the Office of the Deputy Governor.   In a statement issued and signed by the Lagos State Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget, the State Government described the news report in some online media as inaccurate and a clear misinterpretation of the approved capital provisions.   The statement reads in part: "The attention of the Lagos State Government has been drawn to reports alleging that ₦4.2 billion was proposed in the 2026 budget for the purchase of office furniture and microphones for the Office of the Deputy Governor.   "This claim is inaccurate and results from a clear misinterpretation of the approved capital provisions.

 UK ordered to pay $572m in compensation for Nigerian miners killed in 1949


A Nigerian court has ordered the British government to pay 20 million pounds ($27 million) each to families of 21 coal miners killed in 1949 by security forces during British colonial rule, according to the state-run news agency.


The ruling culminates decades of campaigning for compensation over the killings, widely seen in Nigeria as one of the triggers to agitations for independence. Nigeria gained its independence from Britain 11 years later, in 1960.


The miners were killed at the Iva Valley Coal Mine in the southeastern Enugu state as they were protesting harsh working conditions. They had occupied the mine when the colonial police opened fire on them, killing 21 and injuring many others.


In his verdict, Justice Anthony Onovo of the Enugu High Court found the British colonial administration liable for the killings and ruled that the British government should also tender formal apologies to the victims.


The British government declined to comment. The UK was not represented in the court proceedings.


‘Shot and killed’


“These defenseless coal miners were asking for improved work conditions, they were not embarking on any violent action against the authorities, but yet were shot and killed,” the judge said.


British authorities must pay 420 million pounds in total to the victims' families as “effective remedy and compensation for the violations of the right to life,” he added.


Defense lawyers described the ruling as a significant milestone that delivers "historical accountability and justice for colonial-era violations, affirming that the right to life transcends time, borders, and changes in sovereignty,” said Yemi Akinseye-George, one of the applicants’ lawyers.
