Guinness Nigeria, a subsidiary of Diageo Plc, is on the way to delivering a bounteous harvest to shareholders for the year ending June 30, 2021, given its results for the nine months to March 31, 2021.
The total beverage alcohol company, posted a revenue ofN114.956 billion, representing a growth of 20 per cent above the N96.019 billion recorded in the corresponding period of 2020. The company reported a profit before tax (PBT) of N4.463 billion, which was 123 per cent above the N2.005 billion in the corresponding period of 2020.
But profit after tax (PAT) grew slower by 35 per cent from N1.362 billion to N1.838 billion because of higher tax charge.
The minister who gave the charge when he received the new sector commander in his office, said: “In the discharge of your duties, your keyword should be enforcement, enforcement, enforcement.
“After this, you can go to the second one which is enlightenment and advocacy because so many people on the streets are driving vehicles without knowledge of traffic regulations.”
Malam Bello also urged Mr Ochi who had previously functioned as the Head of Operations of the FRSC in the FCT to pay adequate attention to and meet the traffic challenges along Airport Road.
Bello also said apart from the Airport Road, he should also focus on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway, “starting all the way from the interchange junction, right through to the Apo interchange, as well as the Aminu Kano Crescent in Wuse II. These are some of the areas in the city where you have the greatest concentration of traffic and also the greatest challenges.”
