Procter & Gamble (P&G), a global consumer packaged goods company, has recently announced its decision to halt manufacturing activities in Nigeria. The company cites challenges related to the Dollar to Naira exchange rate and the macroeconomic environment as the primary reasons for this strategic move. Despite this decision, P&G remains committed to serving Nigerian consumers with its portfolio of leading brands.
Manufacturing Halt and Reasons:
P&G commenced operations in Nigeria in 1992 and has since played a significant role in the country’s consumer goods industry. However, due to difficulties arising from the unstable exchange rate between the Dollar and Naira and the challenging macroeconomic conditions, P&G has made the strategic decision to halt manufacturing activities in Nigeria. These challenges have made it increasingly difficult for the company to operate and create US dollar value in the Nigerian market.
