The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has dismissed as false a publication claiming that enforcement of the ban on sachet alcohol and alcoholic drinks packaged in PET bottles below 200 millilitres has been suspended.
In a statement posted on its official Facebook page, the Agency described the claim as misleading and untrue, stressing that the ban remains fully in force.
NAFDAC clarified that enforcement activities are ongoing in line with its statutory mandate to safeguard public health, particularly among vulnerable populations.
The Agency urged the public, industry stakeholders, and members of the media to disregard the false report and rely solely on verified information disseminated through its official communication channels.
NAFDAC reiterated its commitment to protecting consumers and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards nationwide.
