Unilever Foresees Harsh Business Climate In Nigeria In 2013

Unilever Nigeria PLC managing director Thabo Mabe forecast business will be more difficult in 2013. Speaking at the company’s 2012 Customers Forum event in Lagos, Mabe said global warming is expected to have adverse impact on the business environment in Nigeria, as well as worldwide. Mabe, however, promised his company will push its products harder despite the forecast hardships. Unilever’s reorganization of its business in the country’s northern region helped made the region the company’s highest sales point in its 2010 financial year, Mabe said.
