Nigeria’s Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, has revealed that a study carried out by the Federal Ministry of Health, showed that not all sanitisers in circulation are up to standard.
Ehanire stated this while briefing the media at the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja today.“I will start by using the opportunity to issue an advisory on sanitiser. You will see a lot of sanitisers out in the market. A study carried out by research institution in the Ministry of Health has shown not all of them are up to standard.
“In buying sanitisers, there is an advisory I will like to share. You must look first of all at the NAFDAC number. A sanitiser should have a NAFDAC number. “Secondly, it should have a place where the ingredients are displayed. You must see that it contains a minimum of 60% alcohol. If it is anything different from that, the sanitiser is not going to do the job you think it is doing,” he said.
