Kimberly-Clark announced it has made the decision to exit its business in Nigeria after almost 15 years, due to recently refocused company strategic priorities globally as well as economic developments in the country.

Kimberly-Clark will close its manufacturing facility and commercial office in Lagos and will no longer manufacture, market, or sell its Huggies and Kotex products in the country. Consistent with Kimberly-Clark’s value of care, the company’s top priority will be to fulfill its obligations and ensure that employees and partners are treated with fairness and respect.
