Nigeria’s foremost brewer, Nigerian Breweries Plc has announced a donation of six Hundred Million Naira (N600,000,000.00) to the Federal and some state governments, as part of efforts to support the fight against COVID -19.

This was stated in a letter to Mr. Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Federal Government and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.

The Company’s Managing Director, Mr Jordi Borrut Bel confirmed that the N600 million donation comprises of the following:

1. A N250 million cash donation to the Federal Government, through the Coalition Against COVID-19 (CA-COVID), the private sector-led special intervention fund managed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN);

2. N250 million cash donation to 7 State Governments’ Task Force Against COVID-19. Lagos and Ogun States will receive the sum of One Hundred Million Naira (N100m) and Fifty Million Naira (N50M) respectively being COVID-19 frontline states while five other states of Kaduna, Oyo, Enugu, Abia and Imo will get N20M each.

3. N100 million worth of relief materials comprising:

- Provision of 5 double-cabin vehicles for use by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in Abuja, Lagos, Ogun and Kaduna States. This is to help meet their critical operational needs, especially contact tracing and movement of materials/personnel to isolation and treatment centres. The cost of fuel, maintenance and driver’s salaries will also be covered by Nigerian Breweries.

- Personal Protective Equipment such as face masks, 500 gowns and 141,000 units of hand sanitizers for nationwide distribution to our key states.

- Supply of malt, energy and soft drinks to the various COVID-19 NCDC centres nationwide. This will be done over a period to ensure steady support and to meet the nourishment needs of the Centres during the crisis.

Jordi Bel stressed that the company has already taken various steps to ensure that it continues to protect the jobs of its 3000 employees while supporting its vendors/suppliers during this difficult period. He added that these contributions are in line with the company’s belief that public-private partnership is essential to overcome the threat of the COVID-19 virus.

Cheque presentations have already been made to the Ogun and Lagos State governments with other states to receive their donations in the coming days.

The parent company of Nigerian Breweries, the HEINEKEN Company had previously donated 15 Million Euros to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Society to support their relief efforts towards the most vulnerable people and communities affected by COVID -19 especially those in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Additionally, the Heineken Africa Foundation has decided to replace its regular grants and projects this year with a plan to spend up to 5 million euros in partnership with various NGOs in Africa to significantly upscale and accelerate its WASH program, which focuses on providing access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).

See now

Even Nigeria breweries overlooked me

Na wa ,

Meanwhile from their promo tickets they have our numbers

Share the money to people, stop donating

Hope Kano didn't get a dime? Hisbah be going about destroying beer bottles & content.

Any money given to the politicians in the name of fighting coronavirus is not donated on behalf of the country because we have a history of embezzlement by politicians.

Enuf donating to the govt pocket.... Now I see where all this business mind loyalty is.

While we r creating and stabilizing brand loyalty to their products they r busy Doin that to our govt knowing well whT will happen to those money.

It's time Nigerians start making some drastic decisions.
Again if after this Coronavirus pandemic, we didn't learn anything, our stand befor the govt we elected. Then it's over for us. Just imagine these people sharing one derica of rice and during election we will sit under the sun to vote.

Speaking of election. It takes these people few mins to dig hand into govt pocket to share to citizens to buy vote but ur survival is not their concern afterwards. If u still go out there to vote for anyone currently in power OGUN WILL DO JUSTICE TO YOU. cuz it will be obvious you are one of the problem of this country.




I weep for Nigeria

Am disappointed if this is true. You didn't donate to your customers who made you rather you made the government your top priority. I hope hope reasonable Nigerians would be wise not to buy their products next time

Las las, Our govt don teach us sense....

Those wey wan get d sense, make dem get and those wey no wan get d sense, na dem sabi....

richard69:

they also produce malts and minerals

Imagine!




Using the money of we the beer consumers in providing palliatives for non-consumers.


Infact, I no drink again!

Only malt, energy and soft drinks

Why alcohol no follow

Are this people even normal?
Why give to the government?



Just another audio donation
Fools fools fools

Over 70% profit is from sale of their alcoholic product

Otuegbe:
they also produce malts and minerals

God when? I wish I could help too

Why can't they share palliatives directly to the poor?

chicken feed. fo all the hectolitres of alcohol they sell!

I hope it is not audio money even though it is not our govt will swallow it all


Abeg count me for ur graphics design logos cards flyers etc

Give us the money directly

Mtcheew I just Dey vex

For those who think science is greater than God, you can see what ordinary virus is doing?

They say there are other 50 deadlier viruses that have not jumped on humans yet.... imagine 5 of these coming at once?

We have conquered the space, tamed animals but our society stinks of violence, killings, sexual perversion etc.

Sodom and Gomorah did not do as much as we have done.

Those in the days of Noah were saints compared to this present world.

We deserve what is happening to us and much more.

I don't need to mince words here....God is angry with the world. He is in charge and has decided to shut everyone down.

Change your ways, accept Jesus and live a holy life.

Jesus will save you from sin and give you eternal life.

Nice one, Governor Sonwo just keeps showing off all his to match locally made face mask..




During the lockdown, here's a little gig for you if you don't mind making 1k per signup you get. Register at http://top.infobet.tech/P2 and refer to http://top.infobet.tech/setup for set up instructions..

To be shared according to percentage of their product consumption. No be say you go dey drink kunu dey expect lion share

They have loots the money already na. stop giving government money abeg, poor people are hungry everywhere. Use that money to buy food and share to the poor people are you pls. Stop enrich our politicians.

First, I do not support such monies being donated to any govt. But if you must donate, no dime should be give to some northern states that destroy alcohol.

You don't want your citizens to drink alcohol, please don't take money from alcohol.

Good marketing strategy, the ppl will never forget thus making them loyal to the brands.

They would have shared enough booze to the public, make Lagosians de alright , well all these donations are just to gain government favour both from churches and organisations. The best donation is to give direct to the people and their esteemed customers

Announce all you want... Won't benefit the average Nigerian!!! Next!!!

Watch how the office would be gutted by fire in a week time.......Na their way

All these audio donations to gain govt favour in return. If you want to help the masses buy food and donate directly to the masses and not through the useless govt.

And NB should take note not to send any donations to people who destroy their products up north in the name of sharia law. Some people cannot be using their money to drink beer in the south while NB will use the money to donate to people who destroy their products up north.
