South Africa’s grocery retailer, ShopRite, has come out to debunked trending story making rounds that they are leaving Nigeria.
Ini Archibong, the Country Director for Chastex Consult, in a telephone conversation with Vanguard, said: “Shoprite is not leaving Nigeria.
“We have only just opened to Nigerian investors which we have also been talking to just before now. We are not leaving, who leaves over a $30billion investment and close shop? It doesn’t sound right.
“We only just given this opportunity to Nigeria investors to come in and also help drive our expansion plan in Nigeria. So we are not leaving”.
