Guinness nigeria resolves dispute nafdac

Guinness Nigeria Plc, a leading brewing company in Nigeria, has reportedly resolved a dispute with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) over the registration of its products.

According to reports, NAFDAC had earlier issued a notice to Guinness Nigeria, directing the company to stop the production and distribution of its products, including Guinness stout, Harp lager, and Smirnoff vodka, due to alleged non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

The dispute reportedly stemmed from NAFDAC's concerns over the company's failure to obtain the necessary permits and approvals for the production and distribution of its products. Guinness Nigeria had allegedly failed to provide NAFDAC with the required documentation, including product labels and packaging materials, which led to the agency's decision to issue the notice.

However, following negotiations and discussions between the two parties, Guinness Nigeria has reportedly resolved the dispute by providing the necessary documentation and complying with NAFDAC's requirements. As a result, NAFDAC has lifted the notice and allowed Guinness Nigeria to resume the production and distribution of its products.

In a statement, Guinness Nigeria expressed its commitment to complying with regulatory requirements and ensuring the quality and safety of its products. The company also thanked NAFDAC for its cooperation and understanding in resolving the dispute.

This development is a positive outcome for both parties, as it ensures that Guinness Nigeria can continue to operate legally and provide its products to consumers in Nigeria. It also highlights the importance of effective communication and cooperation between regulatory agencies and companies to resolve disputes and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
