As part of a sweeping enforcement operation, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has seized and evacuated over one hundred truckloads of substandard, falsified, expired, and banned medicines from three major drug markets Idumota, Onitsha and Aba.
The Director General of NAFDAC, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, disclosed this during a press briefing emphasizing the grave threat these illicit drugs pose to public health and national security.
She warned that if these drugs had remained in circulation, they could have undermined the quality of life for millions of Nigerians.
