LAGOS, Nigeria – Exactly sixty years ago, Flour Mills of Nigeria,FMN was born through the vision and dedication of George Stavros Coumantaros, whose dream is to create a winning brand that would one day become a household name in Nigeria.
Since then, FMN and the iconic Golden Penny food brand have truly evolved to become family favourite and a trusted source of nutrition for millions of Nigerian families.
From generation to generation, FMN and Golden Penny have been with Nigerians, through the best of times and at the most difficult of times. Consequently as Nigeria celebrates its 60th anniversary, FMN is proud to celebrate shared history by recognizing the people who have supported its vision through the years.
“We want to say thank you to Nigeria for standing with us over the years while also shining a light on the people who are rarely in the spotlight; our employees, partners, dealers and stakeholders”, the FMN said in a statement.

Redefining the role of the Private Sector
In this symbolic year of existence, the dramatic upsurge of the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted lives, livelihood, communities and businesses worldwide. The socio-economic impact caused by the pandemic has emphasized the true value of our commitment to Nigeria and customers.
“This is evident in our drive to mitigate the effects of the pandemic through food support donations to vulnerable Nigerians. Also, in helping to redefine the role of the private sector, FMN in the wake of the pandemic, exhibited its leadership position by keying into its global supply network to donate critical medical supplies at a time when the world was experiencing a widespread shortage of critical medical supplies. The donation to over 15 states across the nation, catered for vulnerable Nigerians with food supplies and significantly expanded Nigeria’s testing capacity with 60,000 test kits, supporting the NCDC to manage the pandemic in Nigeria more effectively”, the statement added.
In the next few months, FMN will be kicking off the anniversary celebration by unveiling its anniversary logo along with its revamped website, www.fmnplc.com.
“ Interesting press and videos will highlight historical events, milestones and giveaways opportunities. Our microsite, www.fmnplc.com/60years will be updated regularly with additional information, images, videos and celebratory promotions.
