NAFDAC Destroys ₦8 Billion Worth of Fake Drugs and Banned Products in Nasarawa

NAFDAC has destroyed counterfeit, expired, adulterated and banned products valued at more than ₦8 billion. The items were seized across Nigeria’s North-Central zone and destroyed during an exercise in Lafia, Nasarawa State. The agency said most of the confiscated goods were banned alcoholic drinks sold in sachets and containers smaller than 200 millilitres. Other items included unsafe food products, counterfeit drugs and cosmetics recovered from factories, markets, sales outlets and motor parks. NAFDAC said the enforcement is aimed at protecting public health, especially young people who may be exposed to cheap and easily accessible alcohol. Traders were warned to stop dealing in fake and banned products or face legal action.
