NAFDAC Denies Government Order to Suspend Sachet Alcohol Ban Enforcement
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has refuted claims suggesting that the Nigerian government ordered the suspension of the enforcement of the ban on sachet alcohol products. Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, the Director-General of NAFDAC, clarified that the agency had not received any formal communication from the federal government instructing them to halt regulatory actions on sachet alcohol.
NAFDAC reiterated its dedication to safeguarding public health and ensuring compliance within the food and beverage sector. The agency emphasized that it operates strictly within its statutory mandate and continues to enforce existing laws and regulatory frameworks.
NAFDAC warned against the dissemination of unverified information that could cause unnecessary public anxiety and economic uncertainty, urging proper channels for government communication.
