The regulatory agency NAFDAC recently made a sensational announcement of the seizure and destruction of various dangerous products from the six North-Eastern states of Nigeria. Led by Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, the agency highlighted its firm commitment to protecting public health by intercepting these harmful goods, including foodstuffs, drugs and other regulated items.
In a context where food safety is a major concern for the authorities, this action demonstrates the critical importance of surveillance and rigorous enforcement of quality standards. Prof. Adeyeye underscored NAFDAC’s continued commitment to ensuring the availability of safe and high-quality products in the Nigerian market, thereby averting any danger to the population.
The zeal of NAFDAC’s regulatory and enforcement officers in the North-Eastern zone led to the seizure of these harmful goods, testifying to the effectiveness of the control measures put in place by the agency. This exemplary approach sends a clear message to malicious individuals or entities seeking to profit at the expense of public safety that NAFDAC will not relent in its mission to protect the health of Nigerians.
By strengthening its regulatory frameworks, enhancing surveillance and ensuring punishment of offenders, NAFDAC is committed to maintaining the highest standards of product safety.
