NAFDAC NIGERIA @NafdacAgency

Today, the @DGatNAFDAC Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, visited the agency's Enforcement Office in Apapa, Lagos, to inspect illicit pharmaceuticals confiscated from the Idumota Open Drug Market.

The NAFDAC warehouse was filled, with some seized drugs even stored in the Director’s office.

Addressing journalists after the tour, Prof. Adeyeye emphasised, β€”We are not disturbing trade; we are protecting lives. What NAFDAC is doing is exactly what it is mandated to do. There is no politics in this operation!

She further noted that most shops in these markets are not ed with the Pharmaceutical Council of Nigeria (PCN), meaning violations existed from the outset.

Defending the agency’s intensified enforcement in Onitsha, Aba, and Idumota, she highlighted that over 1,000 personnel are actively working to remove counterfeit, expired, and uned medicines from circulation.

Counterfeiting activities is the same as murder case because both kill human lives. Perpetrators should be brought to justice.

This is very commendable

Why would you be selling fake drugs. Like it doesn't make sense. How would u feel if you are sick and they give u fake drug.

The menace of fake drugs would make doctors look like they are not good at what they do. They would give treatment for say malaria, nothing would happen

So why is the entire Idumota market not shut down as Ogbo Ogwu was shut down in Ananmbra state?

You can see the double standards on same situation. NAFDAC should shut down the entire Odumita market sonce they laxk intelligence and common sense.

Useless agbadorians what say you idiots on this scenario now?

Nigeria's belief that the biggest economy in Africa and they keep on deceiving themselves but Nigeria is a failed state in every aspect. The Citizens are illiterate and stupid.

Correct. It's such a menace to the land and to everyone. More grease to her elbows.

Meanwhile as we all do our best to promote such great efforts we must also endeavour NOT to promote petty tribalism and tribalists like the one you quoted.

I give it to the new DG.

It has been obvious we have fake drugs everywhere.
Why won't we?
Anybody can just be hawking drugs at bus parks, markets, road side etc
Anybody can open a chemist shop

Nigerians, stop buying drugs in parks and markets, go see your doctor and get your drug at the pharmacy

Same goes to hospitals with quacks
They are everywhere but task forces don't go after them until someone dies unjustifiably in the hospital
