Nigerian Manufacturers Protest Government's Alcohol Ban Decision
The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) protests the Nigerian government's decision to ban the sale of alcohol in small PET bottles and sachets by December 31. MAN warns of job losses and investment risks, emphasizing the need for further consultations and a multi-sector approach to alcohol policy.
MAN Director General, Segun Ajayi Kadir, refutes claims that sachet alcohol fuels underage consumption and highlights existing investments in responsible drinking campaigns. The ban is criticized for potentially driving consumers towards illicit beverages.
The UK's FCDO also cautions Nigeria on counterfeit alcohol risks.
