Thank you to *President Bola Ahmed Tinubu*, the Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), *Prof Moji Adeyeye* and the National Security Adviser (NSA), *Malam Nuhu Ribadu* for their unrelenting support.
Ten military and private trucks have been successfully loaded from Onitsha to the NAFDAC warehouse today.
Although NAFDAC officers and security forces have only completed a fraction of the operation, significant progress is being made.
At the Onitsha Bridge Head plumbing section, traders have raised concerns about NAFDAC’s presence in non-drug sections of the market during the operation.
However, it is important to note that when NAFDAC officers and police attempted a similar operation three years ago, they were attacked and narrowly escaped death.
Without the intervention and leadership of the National Security Adviser, today’s successful operation would not have been possible.
We appreciate the collective effort in safeguarding public health and ensuring regulatory compliance
