BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO
British American Tobacco (BAT) is entangled in major legal proceedings across Nigeria, with five states demanding a total of N10.6 trillion (£9.3 billion) for healthcare costs linked to smoking-related diseases.
These cases have been filed by the federal government alongside the states of Kano, Oyo, Lagos, Ogun, and Gombe, with claims stretching back to 2007. The legal action accuses BAT of negligence, fraud, and several other violations related to the manufacture and marketing of tobacco products.
London Stock Exchange-listed British American Tobacco Plc has commenced a $2 billion (£1.6 billion) share buyback programme due to be completed in 2025.
