THE EFFECT OF COST CONTROL IN NIGERIA BREWERIES (A CASE STUDY OF NIGERAI BREWERIIES PLC. 9TH MILE, ENUGU METROPOLIS)

 CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF STUDY

          Cost control is a vital instrument for the survival of any business organization.  The aim of this work the impact of cost control in a Brewing Industry a case study of Nigeria Breweries Plc. 9th  Mile Enugu metropolis is to x-ray the conceptual insight of cost control techniques and ascertain whether in practical situation those techniques in the literature are operational and also the effect it has on the organization.

          In furtherance of these however, similarities and dissimilarities would be examined and observation made.  The control of cost is very necessary to the successful operation of different business organization.  Business entity is set up as an economic institution with profit making as a primary business objective.  Achievement of profitability objectives is a concern of every business for no matter the argument for the pace of profitability in modern business it still remain the primary and the only measure of corporate efficiency and vehicle for survival in competitive are turbulent business environment.

          To achieve this profitability objective, attempts are made by various business concerns to bring cost to its bearest minimum and the essence of this cost awareness has been further amplified by the current high cost of raw material are other production cost.

          Since the introduction of austerity measure in 1982 as a result of declined countries foreign exchange earning, this gave rise to the high cost of raw material sourced outside the country.  In line to maintain reasonable cost many industries resonated to finding means of sourcing raw material locally which is cheaper comparatively to foreign sourced.  This drive most of these industries into agriculture in other to produce their own raw material.  For instance, the malt which was used by brewing industries has such replaced by the use of maize, a result of research employed by these brewing industries.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SOME WATER QUALITY PARAMETERS OF SELECTED PONDS AND RIVER BENUE

Water is one of the most abundantly available substances in nature and also called elixir of life. It plays an important role in the wealth of a nation, particularly like Nigeria, which is predominantly an agricultural economy. The importance of water for the existence of life need not be over emphasized. Water is a simple chemical compound composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen which bond covalently to form one molecule. It is known as the most complex of all the familiar substances that are single chemical compounds. Water resources of the earth are part of a finite close system and the water reservoirs from time immemorial had an aesthetic appeal, and helped in aquaculture. Water quality parameters are the chemical, physical and biological properties of water, suitable for intended use as it is applicable in aquaculture. Efficient feed conversion, growth and marketability of the final product cannot occur unless the pond system is balanced or in harmony with nature. Therefore the overriding concern of the fish culturist is to maintain, ‘balance’ or ‘equilibrium conditions’ with respect to water chemistry and its natural consequence. The water samples were analyzed for various parameters in the General purpose laboratory, department of fisheries and aquaculture university of agriculture Makurdi, Various water quality parameters like Temperature, pH, Turbidity, Total Suspended Solids (TSS),  Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO),  and electrical conductivity were  monitored for the pond and river  water of different locations using approved water sampling method. The findings of this work shows that, low DO and pH.High BOD in the river and high temperature, TDS, EC and carbondioxide in the pond were determined.
