1.10 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE CASE STUDY

Nigerian Bottling Company was incorporated in 1951 as a franchise Bottler of products of the Coca-Cola Company in Nigeria. Nigeria Bottling Company Plc (NBC) is a member of coca cola Hellenic Bottling Company A.G, an anchor Bottler for the coca cola company in 28 countries in North, Central and South Europe, Asia and in Africa with over 581 million consumers in these market.

As the pioneer Bottler in the group, NBC prides itself as the bedrock of coca cola Hellenic, also owned the Nigerian franchise to market Fanta, Sprite, Schweppes, limca, parle soda, five alive and Eva water. The company headquartered in Ebute Meta, Lagos and operate is Bottling Facilities, 28 commercial territories and 57 distribution Depot across the country. As written earlier, Nigeria Bottling Company Plc was incorporated in November 1951,as a subsidiary of A.G Leventis Group with the franchise to bottle and sell product of the coca cola company in Nigeria. Two years later, in 1953, the production of coca cola began at a Bottling facility in Ebute Metta, Lagos State. In the same year, the company opened its first Bottling Plant in Apapa. In 1960,the year of Nigeria independence, the Nigeria Bottling Company exceeded one million cases in a year mark.

NBC in 1961 commissioned it’s second Bottling facility at Ibadan, Oyo State and rapidly expanded its operation over the next couple of years which today stand at 13 facilities and 57 Depots across the country. In 1972 NBC became a publicly quoted company and listed it’s shares on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Ilorin plant was established in 1971 so as to be able to meet the demand of the consumers in the region.

Briefly on Bida Depot, Bida Depot was found in the year 1998(A124 mokuwa road,Bida Niger State). Initially, Mokuwa Depot supply Bida axis coca cola product but due to the high rate consumption of the product, dealers in Bida axis had to lay complain to ilorin plant since Mokuwa Depot can not meet up with their Target,so Bida axis were granted the permission to commence Bida Depot.

In the year 2016, Ilorin plant was closed down due to some challenges which affect the designated Depots under Ilorin plant where Bida Depot was affected as well. As a result of this close down, Bida Depot find it difficult to meet up with it demand in term of distributing its product to dealers and other outlets. Bida Depot was also forced to closed down their operation in December 2018 due to financial constraints. These lead to the dealers who registered under Nigeria Bottling Company Plc and have the capability and financial strength to run as a Mini Depot. The dealers who can be granted the permission to run as coca cola Mini Depot are Small Strategy Depot (SSD) and High Volume Depot (HVD).

Currently, Small Strategy Depot (SSD) was given the franchise to commence it’s operation as Bida Mini Depot which is located along senetor Isa area close to Bida Secretariat. Bida Mini Depot accommodate three small truck and have enough space for movement of workers when hauling crates to and fro. It is built for the storage of 104 metre cube in volume,that is about a 16 metre long 3 metre wide that contain canned drink,plastic water,35cl and 50cl bottle drink. They are department or unit that constituted Bida Mini Depot such as commercial manager (C.M), Director Officer (D.O), Business Developer (B.D), Truck Driver and Truck assistance,Boy offloaders, Office Assistance, Cleaner and Cashier,the entire population are 22.
