Lingering issues such as foreign exchange scarcity, inadequate power supply, port congestion, multiple taxation, insecurity, and deficient infrastructure have taken a toll on businesses, particularly in the manufacturing sector.

Amidst the closure of local companies, several foreign operators also announced their plans to exit Africa’s largest economies last year, including GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Nigeria, Equinor, Sanofi, Bolt Food, and Procter & Gamble.

The tough business environment has not spared indigenous companies, highlighting the need for support from the government.

In a release on Thursday, BusinessDay listed no fewer than six domestic firms that closed shop in the last 10 months. See the list below:
