The NAFDAC boss urged the National Assembly to speedily pass the Counterfeit Medical Products Bill to strengthen the agency’s fight against counterfeiting in the country.
She said: “Also up for destruction today are damaged and expired products, voluntarily handed over to the agency by compliant companies, trade unions and non-governmental organisations. She also said products, like codeine, cough syrups, tramadol capsules, aphrodisiacs, analgesics, antibiotics and antimalaria drugs, worth N8 million, peddled by hawkers, had also been confiscated by the agency during the same period.She recalled a recent arrest of one Sunday Chibuike, who she said was charged to court by the agency for producing unregistered alcoholic beverages.
She, therefore, appealed to Nigerians to shun drug peddlers on the streets and patronise registered medicine stores. She urged the National Assembly to speedily pass the Counterfeit Medical Products Bill to strengthen the agency’s fight against counterfeiting in the country.
