NAFDAC shuts shops at Lagos Trade Fair Complex over suspected unregistered cosmetics

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has shut down several shops and business premises at the Lagos Trade Fair Complex for suspected unregistered cosmetic products. This enforcement action was announced on NAFDAC's X account on August 29, 2026. The Trade Fair Complex, located along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway in Ojo, Lagos State, is a major commercial hub housing numerous businesses dealing in various consumer goods.

NAFDAC's Investigation and Enforcement Directorate, Cosmetics Division, conducted a two-day operation from August 26 to 27, 2026, during which they identified and seized suspected unregistered cosmetic products. The affected premises were placed under NAFDAC HOLD labels and samples were collected for further investigation. This action is not the first time NAFDAC has targeted suspected illicit products at the Trade Fair Complex, as a previous raid resulted in the seizure of counterfeit alcoholic products valued at approximately N350 million.
