Chief Shafi Lawal Edu, 54, who is president of Lagos' chamber...
...Atlanta group got a week in London at a top hotel with all their meals, plus a round-trip jet charter flight. It cost them just $250 each. The Victoria Sporting Club picked up the rest of the tab. As with the three other Victoria-sponsored junkets this summer, that came to around $60,000, but the Americans have evidently been generous losers.
