The products destroyed included expired products voluntarily handed over to the agency by compliant companies in the country Other products destroyed were fake and counterfeit drugs seized by Investigation and Enforcement Directorate in Lagos State and environs, prohibited substandard and expired food products, cosmetics and other regulated products seized from manufacturers and importers as well as distributors. Speaking at the Sagamu Local Government Dumpsite, Ogun State, the acting Director General of the Agency, Mrs. Yetunde Oni, who decried the activities of drug fakers, described drug counterfeiting as an act of economic sabotage and terrorism against public health. Oni, represented by the Director Investigation and Enforcement Directorate, Mr. Kingsley Ejiofor, noted that the agency had put in place measures to ensure that only genuine medicines and wholesome foods were imported, exported, manufactured and distributed in Nigeria. Oni stated, “We just secured a seven-year jail term for a lady involved in counterfeiting of pharmaceuticals, among others. We commend the judiciary for its support in the protection of public health. “We shall continue to enforce the regulations governing regulated products in Nigeria. Surveillance and enforcement operations at our ports, borders and identified routes used by smugglers have been intensified and this has led to increased seizures of fake regulated products smuggled through our borders.” Oni urged Nigerians to be watchful of drugs, foods and other regulated products they purchase and report any suspicious activities within their environment to the nearest NAFDAC office. |
