Unilever Plc has invested over $133.8 million in the country in the last three years, apart from attracting about $80 million Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) to the Nigerian economy.
This was revealed by the company’s Global Chief Executive Officer, Paul Polman, who spoke during a visit to the Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, in Lagos.
He added that the company would attract, encourage investors, but called on the state government to ensure the business environment is more competitive towards improved ease of doing business in the state.
“As we grow our business, we also want to showcase the huge business opportunities in Nigeria by inviting foreign investors to set up businesses in the country,” Polman said.
Polman promised to continue to attract more FDIs to Nigeria, underlining the company’s commitment to growing business sustainably, while delivering innovative brands for Nigerian consumers.
