The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has dismissed as false reports claiming that the Federal Government directed it to suspend enforcement actions against sachet alcohol and 200ml PET bottle alcoholic products.
In a statement signed by Mojisola Adeyeye, its director general, the agency described the publication as “false and misleading,” stressing that it had received no official communication from the Federal Government ordering such a suspension.
NAFDAC stated that it operates strictly within its statutory mandate and only acts on formally communicated government policies and directives. According to the agency, “At no time has the Agency received any formal directive ordering the suspension of its regulatory or enforcement activities in respect of sachet alcohol products.”
