Shoprite Again Fixed Date To Exit Nigeria

Shoprite has set a date to leave Nigeria.
OnyxNews Nigeria reports that South African Company, Shoprite Holdings Limited, has announced that the sale of its Nigerian outlets was being concluded.
Shoprite said it would close down operations in the country by disposing a 100 per cent equity stake in its Nigerian retail supermarkets.
In its recent financial report for December 2020 operations obtained from the company’s website on Tuesday, April 6, 2021, Shoprite stated that the company was awaiting approval from the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission after lodging the transaction with the commission.
When is Shoprite exiting Nigeria?
According to the company, the management expects the transaction to be approved by the end of the 2021 financial year.
The company also stated that the management was in the process of concluding a franchise agreement for the Shoprite brand to remain in Nigeria as well as an administration and services agreement to provide support to the new shareholders with operating the outlets.
Pieter Engelbrecht, the Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are at the approval stage in terms of the sale of our Nigeria supermarket operation.
“From here, our capital allocated to the region remains at a minimum and we continue to manage costs as best as we can.”

Shoprite had in August last year in its half year 2020 financial report announced that it would gradually end its operation in Nigeria, adding that the board decided to formally exit its operations in Nigeria over unfavourable market conditions.
