MAN asks senate to halt plan to ban sachet alcohol, says N1.9trn investments at risk
The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) says the ban of sachet alcohol could lead to loss of over N1.9 trillion investments and the rise in illicit drinks.
In a statement on Wednesday, Segun Ajayi-Kadir, director-general of MAN, urged the senate to withdraw directives banning the production and sale of alcoholic drinks in sachets and small PET bottles by December 31, 2025.
He said the directive contradicts earlier progressive alternatives agreed upon by all stakeholders.
