A statement said the managing director said this when he led Guinness team on a courtesy visit to Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki.
He added that “We have plans to expand our investment in Nigeria. Against the backdrop of rumours that Guinness is planning to leave Nigeria, we have recently committed millions of dollars to our plants across the country including the one in Benin so we can create more jobs and contribute our quota to the socio-economic growth and development of Nigeria and the people.”
According to the statement, Obaseki, in his speech said his administration was working nonstop to improve the economic environment in the state for investors. Obaseki noted that, “As a government, we are encouraging people to come and do business in the state, we are putting a transport hub together, we are building parks to organise transportation.
“In terms of skills and capacity building, we are getting our young people trained in skills and technology. From the government side, we are ensuring that we grow our Gross Domestic Product significantly.” He urged the Guinness Benin factory to use Western Boys High School as a Technical and Vocational Education Training center, stating that his administration was serious about skills and capacity building.All rights reserved.
