“We need to stem the tide of Nigerian companies relocating to neighboring countries due to the seemingly hostile production environment. Nigeria needs to protect the high investment and employment opportunities in all associated companies e.g. Can and corrugated cartons industry.”
The local producers sought urgent actions to prevent sudden collapse of over $500m investments in the local industries involved in the production of energy/ health drinks. “We hereby request urgent addition of energy or health drinks to the Nigeria import prohibition list,” it stated. It noted that the unexpected decline in the local manufacture of energy drinks was already affecting investment in the associated industries.
According to the statement, “Nigeria’s external reserves need to be preserved for only essential imports. From the time of the last review of the import prohibition list, over 10 brands have invested in the local production of energy or health drinks. As of date, total investment is over $500m.”All rights reserved.
