Some Nigerians Are Desperate To Make Quick Money – NAFDAC Boss laments Menace of Fake Products

The Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Mojisola Adeyeye, has lamented the alarming rate at which some Nigerians are willing to go to make quick money at the detriment of the health of its citizens.

Adeyeye stated this on Channels TV while speaking on the recent bust of fake wine and beverage drink factories in Abia State, and the subsequent conversations on it by Nigerians.

“It is sad that some people are bent on making quick money at the detriment of our citizens”.

“NAFDAC works that is why we are digging up all the dirt and trying to get rid of them.”

“We do market surveillance routinely, meaning we go to the market and make sure the products that are  registered are the products on the shelf .”

The society has to know that it's when raids are done that things are exposed..the raids we do are not unique to NAFDAC; that is what all regulatory agencies do.

I will just ask the public to buy from places they have confidence in—places you can go back and say, "I bought this yesterday." Do not purchase from someone you can never go back to.
