The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Ogun State Police Command have intensified their collaboration to enforce regulations on the sale and distribution of alcoholic drinks in sachet and PET bottle formats. Deputy Superintendent of Police Oluseyi Babaseyi announced this development via the command's X handle.
Mr. Akinwale Fagoroye, State Coordinator of NAFDAC Ogun Office 1, led a delegation to the Ogun State Police Command headquarters, where they met with Police Commissioner Bode Ojajuni. The enforcement, which began in Abeokuta, aims to extend across the state and continue until all regulated products adhere to the required standards.
The primary focus is to safeguard public health, particularly the well-being of children and young individuals, by reducing the accessibility of cheap alcoholic drinks in portable packaging. NAFDAC teams are conducting inspections at various locations such as markets, retail outlets, bars, warehouses, and factories. The Police Command acknowledged the vital role of NAFDAC in protecting public health and pledged continued cooperation in enforcing the law and maintaining public safety.
