The takeover will allow Nigerian Breweries, a key player in the country’s beer market, to consolidate its operations and leverage Heineken’s global expertise to enhance production and distribution channels.
According to Naija247news, this acquisition is expected to reshape the competitive landscape of Nigeria’s brewing industry, as it gives Nigerian Breweries full control over the subsidiary’s assets, production facilities, and market operations.
