Any idea why the master strategist in Aso Rock has failed to crush petrol prices as he promised four years ago?

The world has moved past that old fashion packaging.
But the taste, texture must remain the same, if they want patronage.

It's sad that a local production company was shut down because of vandalism by locals. Such people are still around... even more in number today ... and more desperate. My concern is what security measures would be in place to prevent employees and vandals from causing the company to close again. I doubt they would use the original formula .... because the cookies will be too expensive for the masses to afford. They will cut down on production costs. Will that affect sales?... as in people not buying because it doesn't taste the same? I doubt it. Even if they use the original formula ... it will not taste the same to most people ... it's been seventeen years... our taste buds are not like they used to be .. our cravings are not like they used to be ... the cookies were a hit with young people ... the present generation of young people never had them so it will be just another cookie on the market and they will judge them with the competition. .. judge in taste ... and more importantly... price. If the FG is serious about boosting local industries ... the there must be heavy import duties on imported products that can be produced locally. If this doesn't happen... I can see the company shutting down again because it cannot compete with the imports.

It actually needs rebranding, simply because seeing it makes you remember your childhood memories doesn't apply to children born now, you're not their target customer, you won't buy because you've outgrown it. It has to be rebranded to catch the attention of little children. But if they don't want you rebrand the packaging, then they'll change it's taste entire, to a very rich taste, including the size of the biscuit.

So how come these ones closed shop?

:
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Nigeria
Procter & Gamble (P&G) Nigeria
Sanofi Nigeria
Equinor Nigeria
Kimberly-Clark Nigeria
Bolt Food Nigeria
Jumia Food Nigeria
Unilever Nigeria — stopped some local production
Diageo/Guinness Nigeria — sold controlling stake
Pick n Pay Nigeria — sold its Nigerian stake
Equinox Nigeria
Shoprite Nigeria — reported in some exit lists, though its status requires qualification
CFAO Healthcare/Sanofi — moved to a new distribution arrangement

In developed economy, the above also happened.

Selling of controlling shares or selling of shares in an investment of the above companies predates Tinubu's Government. Also for multinational corporations to exit a country, the processes must have started at least 18 or 24 months before disengagement. The companies you mentioned above have nothing to do with Tinubu's Government.

You forgot to mention that hundreds of companies have entered Nigeria with active industrial revolution going on which is visible with increase in trucks movement along major highways and industrial activities. Since 2024, no major multinational or Transnational corporations have exited Nigeria. No major Corporations have declared loss while some are paying dividends which has never happened for years, since Obasanjo era.

The Enigma is that it hasn't shown effects in the living conditions of the masses . That is where the problem lies.

If Business climate is not good Chinese Manufacturers will not come to Nigeria to open retail businesses by opening Warehouses and some are building factories in Nigeria .

That's a highly impressive sign of REBIRTH after the 1999 closure of Okin. You either "innovate" or "head south (crash)." This is the positive mindset for running any business and it further shows that businesses are thriving in specific niches in Nigeria regardless of the negative talk of some trolls and bigots lacking innovative thinking about the business climate in 2026.

"What the mind can conceive, the mind can indeed achieve." Period.

Why is this not reflected in the unemployment rates, which the government has failed to report for several months now?

Why are the favourable policies not helping the president to create 50 million jobs promised, such that the wife is now mocking our jobless and extreme poverty situation with akara empowerment?

Dey play, start a business today. We need a nation of SMEs and entrepreneurs not job seekers.

For the President wife, her message and comments were misinterpreted and mis understood, is everyone in Nigeria educated to a level to start a modern business or get a white collar job? The President wife was referring to the less privileged, illiterates and also hard working youths that are entrepreneurial. I have seen people build houses, send children to good schools with Akara business.

Our problem is this country is that most youths are proud, i am a graduate, i can't do this i cant do that, always waiting for government to provide jobs, white collar jobs. the government can only provide infrastructure, and economic policies to drive stability.
Empowerment is part of job creation.

That is NOT a very positive way to look at things 'Denrele. If the management of the iconic "Okin" haven't done their total costing and due diligence with relation to other brands and competitors, they won't be making a comeback in 2026 (when the current Nigerian President 'Bola Tinubu is in charge with stability already achieved in the exchange rates for over 2 years now, external reserves now highest in over 10 years at over $42 billion USD, NO more notorious fuel queues, etc. Those are things to be grateful for and more can still be done to lower the cost of living) after closing down in 1999 during the end of the Military dictatorships in Nigeria and the start of the OBJ Presidency. Negative thinking will cloud out the chances of positive results in life... Hence the need to be innovative and positive because from multiple examples from around the world, there's real money to be made even in times of chaos! Period.
