Managing director, Girish Sharma, who disclosed the focus in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos, said that this promises greater local agility and innovation for the company.

On the milestone, Sharma reflected on Guinness Nigeria’s 75-year heritage, dating back to its establishment in 1950 and the opening of its pioneering Lagos brewery in 1962.

“Guinness Nigeria has evolved into more than a company. It has become a national treasure, woven into the fabric of Nigerian culture through the generations.

“From its iconic brands to its enduring values, the company has become a symbol of resilience, quality and shared celebration.

“This milestone is not just a celebration of how far we’ve come, it’s a tribute to the people who have built this legacy with us.

“From distributors and farmers to consumers and employees, this company has been shaped by thousands of hands and hearts.

“As we step into this new chapter, our focus is clear: we are building for more; more connection, more purpose, more impact.

“We remain rooted in our purpose of celebrating life every day, everywhere; and the next 75 years and beyond begin with that same bold spirit.”

Sharma reaffirmed the company’s legacy of social impact and community development.

According to him, the company’s long-standing Guinness Eye Centres in Lagos and Onitsha sponsor free eye surgeries to restore sight and improve lives.

“This initiative builds on Guinness Nigeria’s enduring commitment to healthcare, safe water access, education and uplifting communities across the country.

“Guinness Nigeria has consistently championed purposeful progress, investing in people, communities and the future.

“Through our Water of Life programme, the company has provided access to clean drinking water for over 500,000 Nigerians.

“Its Plan-W initiative has empowered over a thousand women with entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills, while the Guinness Nigeria Undergraduate Scholarship Scheme is helping bright students across the country pursue quality education.

“For over 20 years, its partnership with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has driven national awareness around responsible drinking and road safety,” he said.

The managing Director said that since the 1980s, the company had pioneered the use of locally sourced sorghum in the production of its brands, empowering farmers.

According to him, it is also reducing dependence on imports, long before local sourcing became standard practice.

Sharma said to commemorate the milestone, the company is rolling out a series of activities.

He said the activities included the launch of a commemorative 75th-anniversary documentary, limited-edition bottles, a nationwide consumer promo, and staff-focused celebrations such as an interdepartmental football tournament and parties across its Lagos, Benin, and field locations.

He explained that the anniversary also marked a new era for the company following the recent change in majority shareholding.

“This transition is already unlocking opportunities for greater local agility, deeper supply chain investment, and accelerated innovation, while reinforcing Guinness Nigeria’s identity as a proudly Nigerian company operating with global standards.

“Guinness Nigeria is stronger, more agile, and more ambitious than ever.

“We are not just celebrating a legacy; we are preparing for the future. This is a company built on trust, quality, and purpose. And we’re just getting started,” Sharma said.
