No fewer than 101 drug companies were sanctioned by National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) for various offences in Edo in 2012.

NAFDAC Benin Office Unit Head, David West, who disclosed this to newsmen in Benin, said that 719 companies were inspected in the state in 2012, while the agency concluded the re-certification of the 120 water packaging establishments in Edo during the period.

He said the sanctions imposed on erring companies ranged from the arrest of the offenders, seizures of products, imposition of administrative penalties, to outright closure of such establishments.

One of the major sanctions, according to West, was the arrest of six persons who were marketers of unregistered Power Horse energy drinks, leading to the seizures of over 20 cartons of the drink.

“We also arrested some owners of water packaging establishments, whose factories had poor manufacturing practices”, West said.

Shame on all those that would rush and say first to comment, you lost out on this thread.

@Topic,

Pls Nafdac publicize the names of these drugs so ignorant people don't make the mistake of buying it at the local chemist!

Gbam...All these from Edo? What about Nigeria together?

.So with all the money we gave NAFDAC in the budget of 2012, this was all they were able to do?!

Sieze energy drinks and pure water?!!

Does NAFDAC exist only in Edo State?

What about their branches in the remaining 35 states, what were they able to accomplish?

Since DORA left NAFDAC, the agency became a shadow of itself, they are now following the footsteps of EFCC, ICPC, PHCN, NIGERIA POLICE, FRSC whose trade mark and watch word is failure and corruption.

rubbish journalism. How many drug companies produce sure water? The writer was obviously mistaking pure water outlets for 'drug companies'

Because d present DG has refused d envelop method (giving reporters large sum of money in order 4 them to publish good things about u) does not mean dat he his not working. Infact he his performing far better than Dora.
