INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background History of Champion Breweries Plc in Uyo
Champion Breweries Plc was founded as a Private Limited Liability Company on July 31, 1974, under the name South East Breweries Limited. The name was then changed from South East Breweries Limited to Cross River Breweries Limited and then to Champion Breweries Limited. The latter name, Champion Breweries Limited, was renamed to Champion Breweries plc on September 1, 1992.
On November 24, 1974, the Government of the then-South Eastern State of Nigeria signed an agreement with Messrs. Haase Brauerie GMBH of Hamburg (“Technical Partners”) for the supply and construction of a Turnkey Brewery in Uyo with a capacity of 150,000 hectoliters.
The foundation stone of the brewery was placed on March 19, 1975. The Brewery was officially commissioned on December 11, 1976, and its goods, including Champion Lager, were successfully put into the market.
On July 22, 1977, a second contract was signed with Technical Partners to raise the Brewery’s capacity from 150,000 hecoliters. The foundation stone for the enlargement was placed on December 24th, 1977.
The enlargement, which included more advanced technology, was finished and put to the test in September 1979. The second product line was formally launched on December 11, 1979, the same year that the company’s products “Champion Lager Beer” and “Champmalta” received silver medals in an international competition in Paris, France.
Champion Lager Beer has previously received an international medal for quality at the 16th World Selection for Beers and Non-Alcoholic Beverages in Luxemburg.
With the establishment of democracy in Nigeria in May 1999, the government of Akwa Ibom made reactivating the Brewery a priority. Consequently, the Akwa Ibom Investment and Industrial Promotion Council (AKIIPOC) was charged with the job of reactivating the corporation.
As part of this task, AKIIPOC, in collaboration with the Company’s Board of Directors, went to the market to solicit care investors and Technical Managers. Messrs.
Montgomery Venture incorporated of Panama (with offices in Geneva, Switzerland) were identified and recruited into the company as care investors and technical managers following the signing of a memorandum of understanding.
Based on the agreement, the company’s Board of Directors established a reactivation committee to collaborate with core investors and technical managers to revitalise the company.
The reactivation process, which began in February 2000, lasted around nineteen months. The plant has been rebuilt and reconstructed to use only locally sourced raw materials. The Brewery is fully operating, with a capacity of 500,000 hectoliters annually.
The revived Brewery was officially commissioned on October 23, 2001. Other aspects of the corporation include Champion Lager Beers, Champmalta, Maltonic, and Becks Beer. The company has a total of 662 employees, including management, senior, and junior workers.
1.2 Statement of Problem
The ongoing issues of productivity and worker management style have prompted many industrial organisations to rely on work-study and other methods of improvement.
A critical examination of the Akwa Ibom Industrial Company’s operations would reveal organisational flaws ranging from one extreme to the other, such as the junior staff’s relatively low take-home pay when compared to similar organisations in Akwa Ibom State.
However, it is well recognised that an employee in any business has specific goals and aspirations that he expects to be fulfilled by the organisation. According to the same viewpoint, the organisation has goals and objectives that must be met in order for both interests to be realised.
There are a number of organizationally controlled incentives that will serve as a source of motivation for employees, thereby enhancing the achievement of both interests.
