Manufacturing contributes 9.4% to Nigeria’s GDP – Alo

The Chairman, Berger Paints Nigeria Plc, Dr. Oladimeji Alo, lamented the harsh operating environment which has impacted negatively on the manufacturing sector as its contribution to the Gross Domestic Products, GDP, in third quarter of 2015 slowed down to 9.4 per cent.

The Chairman who disclosed this at the company’s 56th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Lagos, stated “In the year under review, capacity utilisation in the real sector continued to lower around 45 per cent. The decline in growth was caused by unavailability of foreign exchange for raw material and equipment importation, high parallel market exchange rates, high interest rates, insufficient power and energy supply as well as inefficient infrastructure which efficiently stifled its position as the engine of economic growth.”

Alo said that the future was bright as the Chemical and Paints sector is, however, expected to further ride on the back of the growth of the economy and the building and construction industry to record better performance.

While x-raying the performance of the company for the financial year 2015, he said “In spite of the challenging environment, our company continued to sustain its performance with emphasis on profitability ad value creation for shareholders. “

According to him “We recorded a marginal decline in sales revenue from N3.083 billion in 2014 to N3.022 billion in 2015, representing a 2 per cent decrease. By contrast, our Profit Before Tax, (PBT) grew from N249.3 million in 2014 to N565.2 million in 2015 representing a 126.7 per cent increase.

“The fall in our sales revenue was largely due to the absence of the one –off export transaction that earned us revenue of N199 million in 2014. On the other hand, the PBT growth was largely as a result of some extra ordinary items which boosted our income.”

In their comments, shareholders commended the Board and management for the company’s performance despite the operating environment challenges.

The various shareholders’ leaders, such as Sir Sunny Nwosu, Evangelist Anthony Omolola, Mr. Michael Cole, Mr. Nonah Awoh said the company has done well for declaring 75 kobo dividend per share in spite of the unfavourable environment.

  • WONDERFUL Post.thanks for share..extra wait .. …

  • You should take part in a contest for top-of-the-line blogs on the web. I’ll recommend this web site!

  • In my estimation, business247ng.com does a great job of handling subjects of this type! While frequently intentionally polemic, the information is generally thoughtful and thought-provoking.

  • Usually I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this article really forced me to do so! Thanks, really nice article.

  • This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  • Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
