NAFDAC storms Aba Market, seeks cooperation of Unions
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) officials yesterday stormed a popular market in central Aba, Abia state; in continuation of its nationwide raids and screening of markets and distribution outlets.
The agency, according to a release issued by Mr. Anslem Okonkwor of the Public Relations Unit, charged the heads of market unions to cooperate with NAFDAC to achieve its avowed zero tolerance for unwholesome regulated products.
The special operation which was carried out by regulatory officers from the Investigation and Enforcement directorate of the agency from Lagos, saw the closure of five shops suspected to have offending products stocked in them and whose owners had absconded before the arrival of the NAFDAC team in the market.[ThisDay]
