What of Malta Guinness? If you have ever bought it you have also contributed money to Guinness.

NAFDAC? was the DG changed? Alleluia NAFDAC is finally awake from their deep slumber!

Oshey! People will chop sack on top this fine. Unfortunately.

It is the right thing to do though. Long over due.

Good move but the fines are just not defined by any standard. I hope we are not sending wrong messages to investors and employers of labour, cos I know employees lay off are usually indirect effect of these punitive actions.

I hope those APC small brains won't complain when some of these companies relocate to nearby countries.


Before you know what is going on, those government officials will start demanding bribes using fines as threat.

Did you even try to read why the Company was fined at all? Or you just don't value life because of ur hatred for a Political party? Can these companies try such in their country?
This is truly a serious matter!

morereb10:
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has fined Guinness Nigeria Plc, N1bn for violating laid down rules.

Punch Newspapers reports that NAFDAC accused Guinness of allegedly revalidating expired products without authorisation and supervision, and exposing its raw materials to rodents.

An excerpt of the letter from NAFDAC, which was obtained from Punch, reads “In view of the above, you are further required to take the following actions: disclosure of all your warehouses in the country and submission of inventory level of the stock thereof; submit a written voluntary consent of forfeiture for destruction of the expired and revalidated raw materials discovered in your warehouse; and submit a notarised undertaking to comply with all the guidelines, rules, regulations and enactments of the agency, and to refrain from any future violations.”

I love this government. Look like Asia govt. that is very brutal in policy............... Since it favors Asians, lets go then

acegikmoqsuwy:
Federal Government of Nigeria keeps fining...... Companies are crashing and Nigerian economy is crumbling. If the Federal Government continues in this trend, how many conpanies will be left in Nigeria While we fight war against unemplyment?

tiwiex:
Hmmmm. Is this how this Government wants to raise money and at the same time create jobs? This money business is a zero sum game. All this humongous moneys taken in the form of fines will be paid back through loss of jobs and increase prices to consumers. Or Government will fine these companies for down sizing too? So far, I don't see the drive for job creation. I smell a Lagos style of raising moneys at the expense of the poor. I pray these guys eventually find the balance tho.

APC block head supporters won't see the futuristic implications until these companies relocate to Ghana


Comrades come and see how APC wants to destroy companies through unnecessary fines

Today foreign companies tomorrow it will be indigenous companies

So there shouldn't be a check ?.

Lost of jobs or loss of human's life en-mass; which one is preferable ?.

Exposing the raw materials to rodents and they were cautioned of which they did not adhered to; thence the penalty.

What other way could they be purnished if not fine or rather should their Directors be subjected to 30 strokes of d cane ?.

Before you start advising others to sit with elders, U need to sit with PMB and advice him to stop dividing this country with his leadership style if not, I foresee another tribe agitating for succession!
It is well!

Employers of labour obey laws of other countries why should Nigeria be different. A lawless land is a chaotic land.

Imagine expired goods killing people who will buy the products.

Na fine be new thing na. Well sha the country need to finance it's budget.

Would you rather NAFDAC did nothing
For a long time even before democracy, we have been accustomed to substandard service so much so that we think even the norm is witch hunting
How can any food vendor serve expired food and when steps are taken to correct the consumers complain
And if the charge was/is wrong, they challenge it in court

I said it, we will raise 2016 budget through Fine..

Well done NAFDAC but the fine is too small, 500 billion would ve been a fair fine..

Waiting for SON to fire their own Fine..

am not saying dat is bad o, but considering the jobs the company has created so far and we re still lukin fwrd for more investors they should be considerate, not after paying the money the companies will now turn to our ppl treating them like slaves in our own country and no FG or NLC will be interested in the those workers rescue, our NLC not representing saam!

Raise money & do good work for the nation,Nigerians shall be proud of you all.

Hello, I stated that fine should be based on a standard. I didnt say no fines. There must be a standard so the companies will not assume that they are being victimized. In every country, there is a set fine for defaults, you dont just fine 1billion, 2 trillion etc just like that. I am totally in support of fines, but certainly has to be stipulated fine for certain actions, in fact fines can be more than what is presently charged, but there should be set out and drawn up in agreement with regulating Ministry/Deprtment, MAN and Labour.

Raise money & do good work for the nation,Nigerians shall be proud of you all. Welcome back to a sane society.

See ya shallow thinking. So companies dat do not adhere to the rules and standards set by the regulatory agencies shouldn't b penalized?

EternalTruths:




Yesterday it was MTN and today Guinness


By the time you guys create a very wrong impression about government attitude towards foreign companies, don't cry unemployment when they run to Ghana.



Things must be done properly but we must apply wisdom on how we go about it.

Let them run to Ghana bro
How many people dy Ghana wey dem wan sell to - Nigeria is a very very huge market for them, they better fit in or get out[i][/i]

Seems the new wuru wuru ways by which all these agencies make money now is fine?

Well while Guinness is settling issue with Nafdac, let us join hands together and save baby Light

Season of fines. NCC don make dem all wake up.

They should have fined Guinness one trillion Dollars.

Companies will have to sit up as our regulatory agencies have been given a new lease of life.

With the dipping oil prices, internally generated revenue will have to be the immediate fuel to power our diversification efforts.

...but it berra not affect the price of big stout

Even origin which I use as anti malaria

I don't think guiness is the only culprit.There are lot of them involve in this unhygienic activities.It's just that some corrupt nafdac officials will tip the management of their coming to inspect their surroundings so that they can quickly tidy up before they arrive. However, there are other ways of fining them.Stop extortion in the name of fine.

Hypocrisy at it's quintessential form.

Do you remember companies relocating to Ghana some few years ago? They didn't fine them o. They left because there was no light.

Even if you hate someone much, try and ask yourself questions and try to be objective i.e.: based on facts rather than feelings or opinions : not influenced by feelings.

Everywhere in the world people/companies pay fines for violation of laws. It is the law.

I want to ask you? If you have a farmland and it is your only source of sustenance and it got polluted by an oil company, will u because the company will leave if you fine them or not?

Or u went to buy drugs for ur sick great grand mother and u bought fake but (faulty drug direct from the company) and the dug did not work and she died. Will u sue or will u say because the company will leave, u will not sue.

Be objective in your answer.

Thank you
