The Company’s statement to NGX says the business is driven by collective commitment to a culture of integrity, accountability, and transparency.

“ We conduct our operations in accordance with good moral and ethical standards while obeying relevant legislations. Our goal is to remain a responsible and responsive corporate organization committed to ensuring healthy and comfortable living while contributing positively to the overall growth of the country” according to the statement.

Commenting on the results, the Managing Director, Network Capital, Mr Oluropo Dada, said, “Vitafoam has consistently demonstrated resilience despite the challenges militating against the manufacturing sector in Nigeria.
