The Independent "The Independent" sponsors the Longford Prize, in memory of Lord Longford. The "Independent on Sunday" was the Sunday sister newspaper of "The Independent". It ceased to exist in 2016, the last edition being published on 20 March; the daily paper ceasing print publication six days later. In October 2010, the "i", a compact sister newspaper, was launched. The "i" is a separate newspaper but uses some of the same material. It was later sold to regional newspaper company Johnston Press, becoming that publisher's flagship national newspaper. The "i"s online presence, "i100", was restyled as "indy100" and retained by Independent News
The Daily Independent (Lagos newspaper) no just reason. Owner James Ibori intervened, promising to pay the arrears and re-hire the workers, and the strike was called off. The former managing editor, Ted Iwere, left the paper because of these problems. In January 2010 James Akpadem, the new managing editor, said that Ibori was actively involved in efforts to restructure the paper, which was struggling with debt and unpaid salaries. In March 2010 the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) asked that Ibori attend the Abuja headquarters of the Commission on 17 April 2010 "for interview". The "Daily Independent" published an editorial that indignantly defended Ibori.
