Following the presence of protesters which gathered at the frontage of the gate of the premises of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, the agency has denied report of shut down of its Lagos office.
Just as it vowed to sustain the enforcement of ban on sachet and pet bottled hot drinks and denied report of suspension on the enforcement on the ban.
Reiterating its commitment to its mandate of safeguarding public health, the Director General, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye reassured that NAFDAC will continue to enforce all regulatory measures, including the ban on sachet and pet bottled hot drinks.
According to her, “the Lagos office of the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) will remained open and operational with all staff performing their duties without interruptions.”
The DG making the declaration in a statement in Lagos on Thursday, February 12, described a Vanguard publication claiming closure of its Lagos office as ”false and misleading.”
”We categorically state that this report is false and misleading. The protest, which occurred outside the NAFDAC premises, did not disrupt operations in any way.
”Our offices remain fully open, and all staff are carrying out their duties without interruption. Normal activities are ongoing, and there has been no shutdown of any kind.”
