Greif Nigeria Plc has decided to suspend operations in the country. The firm’s Chairman Adebayo Olowoniyi disclosed this in its 2018 full-year statements released today.

Greif Nigeria has been operating well below operating costs, even below direct material costs, and sees no signs of improved market conditions. Therefore, we have decided to stop operations with immediate effect. The coming months we will investigate on if and/or how we can continue with Greif Nigeria.

Adedayo also revealed that the company had tried to stay afloat through price increases and embarking on cost reduction initiatives. Halfway through its financial year, Greif Nigeria Plc lost a key customer and had to reduce prices to retain volumes, leading to an underecovery of costs.

We have tried to navigate this difficult business terrain by recovering our costs through multiple price increases to our customers, cost reduction initiatives and improved efficiencies. However, we have not succeeded in that. We have lost our most important customer, halfway through the year and had to reduce prices to retain volumes, not fully recovering costs

The company in June last year, had notified the NSE of its intentions to shut down its operations in Koko, Delta State, and Kaduna State.
