The Ghanaian Alomo Bitters Manufactured by Kasapreko Company limited through its Head of International Business Development Mr Francis Adzah told joybusiness a Ghanaian news platform how the federal government of Nigeria border closure action have halted its businesses as Nigeria is the Company's largest market.

He went further to say that more than a total of $2m has been lost since the border closure. Remember how the president Buhari's administration had closed the borders in August, against neighbouring African countries with the claim of checkmating the illegal activities which have to do with Smuggling of weapons, drugs and the huge lost of revenue from import and export tariffs through the activities of smuggling of food items into the country through the various borders most especially, Seme and Idiroko borders.

Kasapreko Company Limited, is the manufacturer of Alomo Bitters, a beverage widely consumed by Nigerians. The company is also Ghana’s largest local beverage manufacturer.

The beverage company according to report was able to transport three trucks before the border closure. But now, the company has exhausted its products in the Nigerian market according to Ghanain news website, JoyBusiness report.

Explaining the situation further, Mr Adzah said “We managed to send in three trucks of products to the Nigerian market moments before the border was closed.”

Mr Adzah Complained further that “In September, the company lost $1 million to the closure. October is almost ended and our checks show a loss of another million dollars. The situation is getting out of hand and very serious,” he said.

Mr Adzah said the company has been forced to try doing business with other African countries such as Cote d'voire, Senegal, Togo, Benin and other European markets to offset the loss incurred from the Nigerian market due to the border closure.

The Ghanaian products, along with Benin and Niger goods enjoy a very large sales in the Nigeria market as a result of the population and better economic situations compare to that of her neighbouring countries.

Na so now.You use what you have to get what you want

Na Agberos DAT one go affect pass, na their brand.

for once i am an IGBO man and i stand with Buhari with this border closure. If they cannot setup here, they should follow the right path

He should just send via the sea port.

These are part of why the country is not growing, they should go through the normal route or someone in Nigeria should be doing idanre bitters

Hope PMB realises that these companies suffering from the border closure will have less or no tax to pay arising from losses being incurred?

Good riddance to bad rubbish

All these people use legitimate business to smuggle illegitimate items.

They can go and use the ports.

Bring Back Alomo oo, I can't Bleep without it ooo

They have been taking advantage of the West African trade agreements to defraud Nigeria.

Let them look for another market.

Seriously No where you won't find this Alemo Bitters in Nigeria.

Anyone that drinks Alemo Bitters and smiles is capable of killing.

I wonder what they use.

Back to the topic.
Just have your company here in Nigeria to avoid border closure and make your money.

Alemo Bitters and Sprite is a great combination
LA Casere can still go too

Na 'Fire' go oose money pass

Why is everyone crying Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria. Nigeria Government didn't ban you product. For security and economic benefit, the government close his border or is it a crime again to close your doors and gate.

Stop crying and start shipping your product to Nigeria through the sea port.

Good. I have never tasted any bitters before. Wonder why people like it so much.

By the way, if Nigeria is self sufficient in "bitters" they should increase taxes for all bitters coming into Nigeria.

By doing so, the company may be forced to set up a factory here if they weigh that doing so would be cost effective in relation to paying heavy taxes.

This one sweet me die..... Never bite the hands that feed you, after so much disrespect from these countries, ;Dtides turn n they can't survive.....hehe I happy die

Neighbouring African countries manufacture and import goods mainly for Nigerians to patronise, yet their people disrespect us..

Resurgent2016:

Are they paying taxes in the first place? They have been taking the advantage of free trade zone among the Africa countries to short-changed Nigeria. The worse is most products are not even produced in all these Africa countries. They sometimes imported them into their countries paid import duty to their countries and find ways to smuggling the same goods to Nigeria.

Lol... All this lamentation dey totori me seriously... Now feeling like the giant of Africaaa!
Their fada!

Government must create a very conducive environment for any company to be set up here and not kill them with tax,dats wat developed country did and look at where dey are

now I understand why Ghana dey vex for us so.....
