It is a strong vote of confidence in the state and in the economic development programme of our administration which seeks to fast track development and employment creation.
“In spite of the challenges facing manufacturers in the country, Guinness Nigeria Plc has not only been thriving as exemplified by its increased investment in Edo State, but has also been giving back to our communities through its corporate social responsibility projects. On our part, we are making a firm commitment to providing necessary security to safeguard its investment and infrastructure to keep its manufacturing facility in the state functioning to its maximum capacity.”
Speaking at the event, Managing Director and Chief Executive, Guinness Nigeria Plc., Mr. Seni Adetu congratulated Comrade Adams Oshiomhole on his reelection as Governor of Edo State and appreciated him for his staunch support to the company in recent times. According to Mr. Adetu, “Guinness Nigeria is a key stakeholder in the state and as such we are very appreciative of the efforts of the state government in partnering with us and supporting our efforts. Through the years we have enriched lives in Edo State through road construction projects, scholarships, healthcare, charitable donations and the Guinness Water of Life projects which aim to improve access to potable water and sanitary conditions in the state.”
