The National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration and Control NAFDAC received assorted unregistered pharmaceutical products worth N100 million seized by the Nigeria Customs Service.
The drugs were handed over to NAFDAC in Kaduna by the Comptroller, Zone B of Customs Federal Operation Unit, Al-Bashir Hamisu.
Hamisu said that the pharmaceutical products were seized by the Customs’ border patrol teams in August.
He however said that the command would keep in touch with NAFDAC “because the people behind the drugs are likely to surface at NAFDAC office”.
Responding, Kaduna State Cordinator of NAFDAC, Mr Nasiru Mato, expressed gratitude to the Customs service for the seizure.
Mato said the agency is looking forward to more collaboration to achieve greater results.
He said the products received included syringes, Sildenafil citrate containing aphrodisiac and injectable.
