The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) reiterated its stance on Monday, February 12, affirming the prohibition of importing, producing, distributing, selling, and consuming alcoholic drinks in small-sized sachets, PET, and glass bottles of 200ml or less. Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, the Director- General of NAFDAC, emphasized that the ban was implemented in the people's interest to safeguard lives. Despite facing opposition from distillers and labour unions over enforcing the ban on sachet alcoholic beverages announced on January 31, Adeyeye stood firm.

In response to queries regarding a potential reconsideration of the ban amidst mounting protests, Christiana Obiazikwor, the NAFDAC Public Relations Officer, confirmed to Nigerian newspaper outlet PUNCH that the ban remained unchanged. Obiazikwor clarified that while NAFDAC did not prohibit the production of alcohol in larger containers, the ban specifically targeted alcohol packaged in formats easily concealable by children.

NAFDAC lags behind in its duty but the ban is good.
