Kyalo cites this as a clear example of BAT bringing strong business links and opportunities to Nigeria .
BAT remains one of Nampak ’ s largest customers , but Kyalo believes that Nampak is just one example of local businesses profiting from BAT ’ s legacy .
“ We have seen a lot of local suppliers grow in Nigeria by harnessing BAT ’ s capabilities to source materials cheaper . As an example , we negotiate for the prices of some materials globally and we assist our local suppliers to go out and get the best materials for the best prices ,” he adds .
A bright future Nigeria has been experiencing a recession , which highlights the significant impact of BAT on local businesses and the economy . This has and will continue to present a number of challenges , not just for BAT but for business across the country .
