The FrieslandCampina WAMCO has tendered its unreserved apology to CAN over Peak Milk’s Good Friday advert.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN ) had berated FrieslandCampina for the “offensive and insensitive” advert.
However, in a swift reaction, FrieslandCampina WAMCO has tendered an unreserved apology and withdrew the post. This was contained in a statement signed by the Management of the organisation. The statement reads : FrieslandCampina WAMCO hereby tenders its unreserved apology to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) as well as to the Christian community at large for the recent Good Friday post on the Peak brand’s social media handle.
“We acknowledge the sensitivity of the social media post considering the sobriety of the season. It was neither intended to make light of the significance of the season nor to inordinately exploit the unmatched sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
“We wish to inform the general public that the social media post has since been withdrawn.
“We hereby reiterate our commitment to our unwavering mission of nourishing Nigerians while maintaining the utmost respect for all religious laws, tenets, and guidelines.
“We reaffirm our pledge to prevent a reoccurrence of such in the future and wish to use this opportunity to wish all Christians the very best of the season.”
