‘NAFDAC Destroys Fake Products Worth ₦120bn In 6 Months’

THE National Agency for Foods and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) said it destroyed substandard and counterfeit goods valued at over ₦120 billion between July and December 2024.

The agency stated this on Sunday, December 29, through a statement by its media and communication consultant, Sayo Akintola.

It destroyed expired and unregistered drugs worth ₦11 billion in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Wednesday, December 11, 2024.

The statement said that earlier in November, the agency confiscated fake medicines valued at ₦300 million during a raid at Tyre Village in the Trade Fair Complex, Lagos State.

Besides, its officers shut down counterfeit alcohol packaging at the fair, seizing items worth ₦2 billion after reports of illegal revalidation of expired alcoholic beverages.

The agency intensified its fight against substandard and counterfeit products in Nasarawa State, where its officers, led by the director of the FCT Directorate, Kenneth Azikiwe, raided Karu Market near the FCT-Nasarawa border. During the operation, bags of repackaged expired rice worth approximately ₦5 billion were seized, said the agency.
