Why International Breweries Plc Must Keep Its Headquarters in Ilesa
International Breweries Plc began and thrived in Ilesa long before AB InBev’s investment. Its founder, Dr Lawrence Omole, built the company there and never moved his base despite having ventures nationwide. Just as it would be unthinkable to shift Guinness from Dublin, relocating IBPlc’s HQ from Ilesa to Lagos feels like a similar sacrilege. Lagos is congested and costly. Operating from Ilesa would reduce expenses and boost the local economy. Board meetings and executive functions belong in Ilesa once again. Osun State government and local investors should join the company’s decision making. Spreading corporate centres beyond Lagos benefits all of Nigeria.
