Few weeks after the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) fined MTN Nigeria over $5billion for refusing to delist unregistered subscribers from its network, another regulator, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on Thursday fined Guinness Nigeria Plc 1 billion naira ($5 million) over alleged infractions relating to the destruction and re-validation of expired raw materials without prior approval.
However, Guinness Nigeria which is a local unit of Diageo said it did not fully understand the basis for the fine, nor the particular regulations infringed, but was in talks with NAFDAC to resolve the matter.
Meanwhile Mr. Peter Ndegwa, Managing Director of Guinness Nigeria PLC, in a statement released to the media on Thursday this stated that “all products from Guinness Nigeria conform to the highest standards of quality, having not only been produced in line with the globally accepted code of good manufacturing practice (GMP), but also been repeatedly so-certified by the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON).
According to Ndegwa, “the meticulous and painstaking work including rigorous quality assurance, that precedes the final production of all our products, hasa singular objective: to ensure that our consumers drink products that are healthy and comparable with similar products made by a Diageo facility anywhere else in the world.”
