History of Association For Table Water Producers Of Nigeria (ATWAP)
The Association For Table Water Producers Of Nigeria (ATWAP) is a professional non-governmental organization that represents the interests of table water producers in Nigeria. The association was established to promote the growth and development of the table water industry, ensure the production of safe and quality table water, and provide a platform for its members to share knowledge, expertise, and best practices.
Early Years (1990s-2000s) The table water industry in Nigeria began to take shape in the 1990s, with the emergence of small-scale water packaging companies. As the industry grew, the need for a unified body to represent the interests of table water producers became apparent. In response to this need, a group of pioneering table water producers came together to form the Association For Table Water Producers Of Nigeria (ATWAP).
