The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has destroyed seized fake and substandard products valued at N2.6 billion in Rivers State. The products, including medicines, tomatoes, cookies, and chemicals, were intercepted by the Nigeria Customs Service at the Onne Port between 2025 and 2026. Dr Martins Iluyomade, the Chairman of the Federal Task Force on Counterfeit, Fake Drugs and Unwholesome Processed Foods in Nigeria, revealed the destruction at a site in Port Harcourt on Friday, praising the cooperation between NAFDAC and the Nigeria Customs Service.
Iluyomade emphasized that the exercise marked the first phase of a larger operation, with more seized goods to be destroyed in the coming days.
