Guinness Nigeria is a set of breweries in Nigeria, distributing under the Guinness label and owned by Tolaram.




History


Guinness product was sold in Nigeria in the 1940s and 1950s by United Africa Company (UAC). In 1961, Arthur Guinness Son and Co and UAC established a brewery at Ikeja, Lagos.
Built by Taylor Woodrow and being the first Guinness factory outside of Ireland and the UK, the initial plant had annual capacity to brew 75 million bottles or 150,000 barrels of beer. The plant area had a 15 million capacity bottle bin and office block designed by the firm of Godwin and Hopwood.
Other breweries have been opened over time: Ogba (1963) and Benin City (1973). In 2024, the majority of its shares were sold by Diageo—which continues to own all other Guinness units—to Tolaram, which previously had no background in alcoholic beverages.
