There are no other significant subsequent events which could have had a material effect on the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 December 2020 that have not adequately been provided for or disclosed in the financial statements. In the first quarter of 2020, there was a COVID-19 outbreak which has spread globally. The outbreak has been declared a public Health Emergency of International concern by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020. During the year, thousands of cases have been confirmed in Nigeria by the Nigerian Center for Disease Control. The disease has caused a significant reduction in social interaction, with a shutdown of public facilities and physical interaction. Measures taken to contain the virus affected economic activities during the year. In light of these recent developments and its underlying impact on Nigeria, the company was operational all through this period and has it as top priority to fulfil its promise to provide affordable dairy nutrition to all Nigerians. Also subsequent to year end, a judgement was received in favour of FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria (FCW). The suit was filed against FCW by an erstwhile employee, claiming among other things that he had been unfairly dismissed in 2012. His claim in damages before the court was an approximate cumulative amount of #250,000,000 (Two Hundred and Fifty Million Naira only). On Wednesday, 24 March 2021, judgement was given in favor of the Company. With the judgement of the Court being delivered and the case dismissed without awarding costs to the Company, this brings an end to the case except the Claimant chooses to appeal against the judgment.
