The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has dismissed media reports claiming that the Federal Government directed it to suspend enforcement of the ban on sachet alcohol and alcoholic beverages packaged in PET bottles below 200ml.
In a statement issued by its Director-General/CEO, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, the agency described the reports as false, misleading, and not reflective of any official communication from the Federal Government.
Prof. Adeyeye stated that the agency operates strictly within its statutory mandate and in line with formally communicated Federal Government policies.
