Mrs. Roseline Ajayi, NAFDAC’s Southwest Coordinator, delivered this warning during a stakeholder engagement meeting held on Friday in Ibadan. She revealed that recent reports indicated some patent medicine dealers were distributing restricted and unregistered drugs, while some manufacturers were not adhering to proper packaging and storage standards.

Ajayi also highlighted concerns regarding bread sold in the market, which has failed laboratory tests due to producers using saccharine as a substitute for sugar, compromising consumer health. She emphasized that despite economic challenges, NAFDAC remains committed to maintaining its standards.

The purpose of the meeting was to seek increased collaboration and support from stakeholders to help NAFDAC in its mission to protect public health. Ajayi noted that several regulatory decisions made in the past year are aimed at improving practices and ensuring the safety and quality of regulated products. She urged all stakeholders to adopt best practices to ensure the quality and safety of products available to consumers.
