Akpan recalled that the company had gone through tough times in the past and with the cooperation of stakeholders it is profitable, adding that the company’s impressive result posted in 2022 is a result of the combination of several factors including rebranding Champion Beer and Champ Malt as well as a formidable sales force to drive product sales.
