NAFDAC Stands Firm on Alcohol Sachet Ban in Nigeria Despite Protests

NAFDAC's Director General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, reiterated the agency's commitment to enforcing the ban on 200ml alcohol sachets and small-sized alcohol beverages in Nigeria. This move aligns with global health standards to reduce the negative impact of alcohol consumption.

Adeyeye emphasized the need for strict enforcement to prevent substance abuse and long-term health issues, especially among children. She warned about the dangers of easy access to alcohol for minors and urged parents, communities, and religious leaders to support NAFDAC's public health campaign.

The ban aims to address liver damage and other serious health risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption.
