Coca-Cola Pledges $1 Billion Investment in Nigeria
The announcement was made following a meeting between Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and senior executives of the soft drink giant.
The investment pledge comes as a boost to Nigeria’s economy, which has faced challenges attracting foreign investment due to factors such as forex shortages and bureaucratic hurdles.
John Murphy, President and Chief Financial Officer of Coca-Cola, and Zoran Bogdanovic, CEO of Coca-Cola HBC, met with President Tinubu to discuss the company’s expansion plans.
Bogdanovic highlighted Coca-Cola’s previous investments in Nigeria, totaling $1.5 billion since 2013, which have focused on expanding production capacity, improving the supply chain, and investing in training and development.
The additional $1 billion investment will further strengthen Coca-Cola’s presence in Nigeria, a market with a population of over 200 million.
