Golden Guinea Breweries PLC, located along Aba Road, Afara Layout, Umuahia, Abia State, has begun operation.

The brewery which has been moribund for years came back to life after the company was in April 2018, granted the sum of N3.6 billion to revive operation.

A statement issued by the company disclosed that the funding package was provided by the Nigerian Export Import Bank (NEXIM) with the Bank of Industry (BoI) also pitching in with an Economic Revival Facility.

Although, an aide to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, Sam Hart, attributed the brewery resuscitation to the present administration.

According to him, Golden Guinea Brewery, is one of the questions they (Ikpeazu’s aides) always ought to answer.

“People have taunted us with Golden Guinea. A regular question aides of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu get is where is the Golden Guinea you people promised us? So a resuscitated Golden Guinea will be a mockery silencer”, Hart said.

Speaking further, Mr. Hart revealed how he and the Abia State commissioner for Information, John Okiyi Kalu (JOK) spent sometime today in visit to the place.

He narrated what went down; “JOK and I drank draft beer direct from the fermentation tank of the renewed and resuscitated brewery, Mr. Hart said.

“We saw thousands of crates of empty bottles ready to be filled up. We saw all hands on deck. We saw jobs. Direct and indirect. We saw drivers, distributors, dealers, wholesalers, retailers, suppliers, food sellers, booked hotels for the truck drivers, we saw everything.
