Halifax Evening Courier – Thursday 06 September 1956
[See the casket made by Felix Idubor held an album of photographs. Perhaps the box isn’t listed in the Royal Collection because it is filed under the photos.]
Chief Kola Balogun, Nigeria’s Federal Minister of Information and Research, with the casket of king ebony containing an album of photographs of the Royal visit, which is to be presented to the Queen in commemoration of her tour of West Africa earlier this year. The casket, made by local craftsman Mr. Felix Idubor, has a design symbolic of the three regions of Nigeria. It is to be brought as soon as possible from Lagos to London and will be presented to the Queen on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
