The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has destroyed over six hundred and eighteen tonnes of fake, counterfeit and expired drugs and other unwholesome products worth more than ten billion naira in Kano State.
The destruction took place at Kalibawa along the Kano–Daura highway and involved items seized from Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Sokoto and Zamfara States.
NAFDAC Director-General, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, said the exercise signals an end to impunity by individuals dealing in dangerous and fake products that threaten public health.
She said the destroyed items included fake antibiotics, antimalarials, antihypertensive drugs, herbal medicines, contaminated foods, unsafe sachet water, fake agrochemicals and hazardous cosmetics.
Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, commended NAFDAC for ensuring that seized products do not return to the market.
Security agencies and other stakeholders witnessed the exercise.
