The US$1 billion figure relates to the Coca-Cola System's planned five-year investment programme in Nigeria rather than a separately disclosed budget for each production-line project. Further investment phases remain subject to the business environment and implementation decisions. Specific contractors and financing institutions for the individual production-line projects have not been publicly disclosed.
Latest Development (Detail)
On 24 June 2026, Nigerian Bottling Company commissioned three new production lines: two at its Asejire plant in Oyo State and one at its Challawa plant in Kano State.
NBC stated that the three lines represent the first phase of a nationwide programme that will see further production-capacity additions across its Nigerian plants during 2026.
The company said the investments form part of the Coca-Cola System's plan, announced in 2024, to invest up to US$1 billion in Nigeria over five years, subject to a predictable and enabling business environment.
