Guinness Nigeria Plc dismisses report of planning to leave Nigeria

Guinness Nigeria Plc has disclosed that the company has no plans of leaving Nigeria.

The foremost company said that reports making rounds on some social media platforms about leaving the country is inaccurate.

It should be noted that manufacturers are complaining of a tough operating environment amid the rising cost of goods and services and the energy crisis.

The clarification was revealed by the Corporate Communications Manager, Guinness Nigeria Plc, Mrs Ayodele Alabi, during an interview  in Lagos.

Dismissing reports that Guinness wants to relocate its operations to Ghana, Alabi pointed out that its plant in Ghana had been in operation since 1960.

He said, “There is Guinness Ghana and it’s not that we are just trying to expand operations to Ghana or anything like that as it’s been there since forever, ten years after the Nigerian operations began.

“The information of our relocation is false and we cannot trace where the misinformation is coming from. We cannot just be moving our operations when we had established Ghana in 1960 while Nigeria office was established in 1950.’’
