    The National Agency for Food and Drugs
    Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has
    destroyed fake, counterfeit, sub-standard and
    expired drugs worth N650 million in Kaduna.
    The Director-General of the agency, Prof.
    Christiana Adeyeye, said at the destruction site
    in Buruku, Kaduna State, that the products were
    substandard, falsely labelled medicines,
    unwholesome food products and cosmetics.
    Others were counterfeited unsafe NAFDAC
    regulated products by the agency from
    manufacturers, importers and distributors.
    Represented by the North West Zonal
    Coordinator of the agency, Mr Gimba Dauda, she
    said the exercise was part of efforts to stop
    spurious NAFDAC regulated products from
    circulation in Nigeria.
    “The products being destroyed today are made
    of substandard and falsely labelled medicines,
    unwholesome food products, cosmetics and
    other counterfeited products.
    “Drug counterfeiting is an act of economic
    sabotage and also terrorism against public
    health,’’ the director-general said.
    Commending the Federal Government for
    banning the use of codeine syrup, Adeyeye said:
    “The decision is to ensuring the reduction in the
    abuse of the substance.
    “We have continued to aggressively pursue the
    goal that only genuine medicines and
    wholesome foods of the right qualities are
    imported, exported, manufactured and
    distributed.
    “We commend President Muhammadu Buhari for
    re-instating NAFDAC personnel to our ports of
    entry and borders.”
    She noted that the relentless effort of the federal
    government was helping in the increase seizures
    of counterfeited and substandard NAFDAC
    regulated products smuggled through the land
    borders.
    She said that NAFDAC has deepened its
    collaboration with agencies of government and
    stakeholders to end the spread of fake and
    counterfeited drugs in Nigeria.
    Part of the drugs, food, cosmetics and chemical
    destroyed included antibiotics, antimalarial, anti-
    hypertensive, anti-cancer, herbal remedies and
    controlled substances.
    Others were Mom’s tomato paste, non-alcoholic
    beverages, maize flour, Eva complexion soap,
    hair cream and fake insecticides. (NAN)
