British beverage maker Twining Ovaltine plans to launch a £24 million manufacturing plant in Lagos, Nigeria.

The factory will create more than 100 direct jobs and will serve as an export hub for the company’s products across the West African sub-region.

These were revealed via a statement from the United Kingdom’s Department of Business and Trade.

According to the statement, “Twining’s Ovaltine is launching a £24 million manufacturing facility in Lagos, its first in Africa, creating over 100 direct jobs and boosting the company’s exports across West Africa.

“With Nigerian firms creating jobs across the UK and British businesses expanding into one of the world’s fastest-growing markets, our partnership is strengthening both economies and delivering real benefits for people in both countries.”

BACKSTORY

Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently on a historic state visit from 18-19 March 2026, hosted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle in Berkshire, England.

It is the first such visit by a Nigerian leader in 37 years, and its focus is the strengthening of bilateral ties and enhancement of trade/investment.

Another Audio deal according to the confused opposition supporters.

We await them

WE WELCOME ALL CREDIBLE INVESTMENTS IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

Kudos to all concerned in such deals.

You guys are just funny 😁

Chai, new Nairaland with less stress from reading the negative comments from those opposition supporters.

My first comment, the person below me is the only visible comments I can see on this thread so far. I so like it like that

Those with negative remarks on development news can start discussing with themselves. For days now, they don't even need to attack me, let them just sound incoherently on topics, attack or insult other members. No time to be seeing such kind of negativity.

We have cocoa. No shock there. Didn’t Cadbury pack up shop and leave not long ago? Sha, maybe it’s a decade of operation they’re looking at. Exporting to francophone nations would not hurt.

Visit already yielding effects.

Na true na...baba dey spread shoulder dey bounce

What a ridiculous statement as if the investment has arrived.
All the Arab and other countries they've visited promising investment since 2023 which has materialized? You think investors don't value the lives of their people or they want to be kidnapped?

Anything wey enter naija, don fail qualify control first

For Nigerians wer majority of them dy frown to afford sachet Cocoa drink.

All the investors were dy before tinubu, now all of them don run comot finish. All the same investors were them promise, no one we see, instead we dy see collectors and looters.

Stop the deception... It's not this visit that facilitated it... They have been around since last year and production is already ongoing in the factory... I did projects there...

It's a welcomed development... I just want Nigeria to move forward period

Everything... We will they will ... Close to 3yrs now.. chochocho no result

You can imagine na

A wicked soulless government thriving on falsehood

More like a campaign promise. There is power outage, gross infrastructural deficit, unstable govt polices, absent of the rule of law, purchasing power concern for most people and above all insecurity. Those will be the checklist for potential investors. You can score the possibility. You don't need to invite investors, they will naturally research & move towards where they can make money.

UK waking up now. When Chinese had already occupied most of the lands finish 🤷

Where is the investment from dubai...where is the investment from Saudi...the 20billion investment...why are u people shameless

When someones track record is shaky, credibility takes a hit.In the past we have heard of imaginary investors from Germany, France ,Qatar and Saudi Arabian just to name a few,but none of them has show face.Is it this you expect Nigerians to get excited about?

Obi was their biggest importers for decades and couldn't find a way to make them set up shop here yet will be shouting production. Even Dangote is now producing everything he once imported locally.
