Fan Milk reiterates commitment to improved product

"Fan Milk Nigeria Plc has restated its commitment to ensuring affordable and quality dairy products for the Nigerian market, even as the company is marking its 50 years of operations in Nigeria.

According to the company, it will continually ensure that the average Nigerian has access to quality milk products.

Managing Director of the company, Mr. Steen Hadsbjerg, said the company, which was set up in 1961, was envisioned to help every African get access to affordable but qualitative and nutritious dairy products.

He said with the factory of the company situated in Ibadan, Fan Milk has distribution offices covering the entire geographical span of Nigeria.

“We take serious pride in what we do. As one of Nigeria’s oldest companies we have maintained a good relationship with all government agencies and have ensured that our business practices are world standard and in line with the laws of the land.

“Our 50 years of operations has witnessed substantial development for us as a company. Most of our raw materials are sourced here in Nigeria and I must say that as a company that focuses on quality, we do get quality raw materials locally,” he noted.

Hadsbjerg also described Fan Milk as a socially responsible organization and he highlighted some of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes which includes road and street beautification projects, effective water management programme and its charitable initiatives towards orphanages.

He continued, “Fan Milk which believes in maintaining a safe working environment for its employees has over 7,500 direct and trade staff all over the country. The company currently runs one of the best human capacity development programmes in the country and this is why its expatriate ratio is very low compared to others.

“We recruit our staff, fresh from Nigerian universities and send them for training, most especially those in engineering. We spend years and a lot of resources to ensure that they acquire world class skills and practices before they come back to Nigeria.”"
