Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja
The Director General of National Agency For Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, has revealed that recent enforcement carried out at major drug markets in Lagos, Onitsha and Ariaria in Aba markets resulted in the evacuation and destruction of over 100 trucks of counterfeit and substandard medicines and food products valued at over N1 trillion.
This was as the federal government has cautioned all agencies and departments responsible for regulation and enforcement of standards for food and health related products not to undermine efforts to prevent influx of fake and substandard products into the country.
