NAFDAC Seizes 12 Trucks of Counterfeit Medications
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has intensified its crackdown on counterfeit pharmaceuticals, sealing over 3,000 shops in Lagos’s Idumota Open Drug Market within the first week of enforcement operations.
During these raids, officials uncovered significant violations, including the storage of vaccines in dilapidated, unventilated rooms sealed with iron sheets, posing severe health risks.
Additionally, large consignments of banned and dangerous drugs were discovered, such as Analgin injections, diverted HIV antiretroviral drugs, and expired medicines intended for illegal revalidation. The agency has evacuated illicit pharmaceuticals equivalent to 12 truckloads.
NAFDAC’s actions underscore its commitment to safeguarding public health by eliminating the circulation of fake and potentially harmful medications.
