Fire Incident At Aba Logistics Centre, Guinness Nigeria Reacts

Guinness Nigeria Plc has reacted to the reports of a fire outbreak on Friday January 18 at the premises of the company’s Logistic Centre located in Osisioma Industrial Layout, Aba, Abia State.

In a statement Saturday by Viola Graham-Douglas, Corporate Relations Director, Guinness Nigeria Plc, the company said the fire did not affect any of the buildings on site as it was swiftly contained and put under control by men of the Abia State Fire Service Department with assistance from neighbouring companies.

Graham-Douglas stated; “Fortunately, there were no injuries or major material loss resulting from the incident as the Aba premises currently serves as a logistics centre with few personnel on site. Our major production operations take place in our Benin and Ogba Breweries.

“As we continue to investigate the cause of the fire incident, we say a very big thank you to the Aba Fire Service and Police Departments as well as the community and neighbouring companies for their swift response and assistance in containing the fire. We also thank everyone who was supportive and reached out to us during the incident.

“Guinness Nigeria remains committed to ensuring the health and safety of our employees and the communities where we operate and will continue to maintain this standard.”
