Nairobi Business Ventures (NBV) has received shareholders’ nod to diversify into new business lines, including cement manufacturing as well as vehicle and aircraft repairs.
The company expects the new business lines to enable it to grow revenues and return to profitability following the collapse of its shoe business.
