Recall that as of this moment in December 2023, no fewer than seven multinational corporations have either left the country or announced that they plan to do so.
January 2023 is when this begins.The skin care and home care divisions of Unilever announced in March that they were leaving Nigeria.
Just four months later, in July 2023, GSK Consumer Nigeria Plc, the British pharmaceutical behemoth and second-largest drug producer in Nigeria, announced that it was ceasing operations in the country.
Sanofi, a French multinational pharmaceutical company, made the announcement that it was leaving Nigeria, similar to GSK Plc.
Some of these businesses are closing their doors in as little as three years after they announced their arrival, while many have been operating in Nigeria for decades.
Prior to 2023, the power crisis, the naira’s continuous devaluation, the availability of foreign exchange, and other strict government policies presented difficulties for both domestic and foreign manufacturers operating in Nigeria.
However, many things changed after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu took office on May 29, 2023, including inflation on all fronts.
In his inaugural speech, President Tinubu ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to start reforming monetary policy and announced the removal of fuel subsidies, which now affect Nigerians across all socioeconomic classes.
