Why is P&G Shutting Down U.S.$300 Million Nigeria Factory?

Procter & Gamble is reportedly set to shut down its production plant in Agbara Industrial Estate, a year after it was commissioned. The plant produces Always sanitary pads and Pampers diapers. According to sources obtained by Premium Times, the company is battling with challenges posed by government policies on the importation of raw materials for its production as well as foreign exchange rates.
