“We got to the market routinely to ensure the registered products are on the shelves. However, we depend on intelligence. The raid we conducted in Aba recently, the investigation has been on for a while, but when you have large portion of market dealing with faking products, you can just walk in and make seizures.
“Therefore, we need to be careful not to endanger our Staff’s lives, so I advise the public to shop at designated places. It is likely fake If it is too good to be true with price. Unfortunately, we have a very porous border, so when people are sold cheap things, they don’t question it.
“NAFDAC works very well. However, we need more staff. We have only 2,000 staff for over 200 million Nigerians, which is also part of the problem”.
-Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, NAFDAC DG on Channels.
