Industry analysts suggest that strategic cost-cutting measures, supply chain optimization, and product innovation could be crucial in improving financial performance in the coming years.

Despite the challenges, the company’s ability to drive significant revenue growth signals resilience in Nigeria’s competitive consumer goods market.
