Guinness Nigeria Plc held its 75th Annual General Meeting on 15 April 2026, passing eight resolutions covering board changes, auditor appointment, and director remuneration. The outcomes signal ongoing governance activity at the brewer as it heads deeper into its 2026 financial year.

Guinness Nigeria Plc disclosed the resolutions passed at its 75th Annual General Meeting held on 15 April 2026 in Victoria Island, Lagos. Members received the company's Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, alongside reports from Directors, Independent Auditors, and the Statutory Audit Committee.

Three new directors — Mr. Mayank Kabra, Mrs.

Olusola Oworu, and Mrs. Bola Adesola — were appointed to the board, while Mrs.

Vivien Shobo, Mr. John Musunga, and Mr.

Deepak Singhal were re-elected. Notably, Ernst & Young was approved as the new Independent External Auditor effective 1 January 2026, replacing the previous firm.

Non-Executive Directors' remuneration was fixed at ₦180,000,000 for the 2026 financial year, and a general mandate for related-party transactions was renewed. The board refresh, combined with the auditor change, points to active corporate governance restructuring.

For retail investors, the key development to monitor is how the new board composition — particularly the Finance & Strategy Director appointment of Mr. Kabra — shapes the company's strategic direction and financial disclosures going forward.

Watch also for the 2025 full-year results, which were laid before members but not detailed in this filing.
