THE National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has intensified its efforts to rid the market of counterfeit and illegally imported cosmetics products in Abuja.
Acting on intelligence reports, the Agency’s Investigation and Enforcement Directorate conducted coordinated raids across supermarkets and open markets, including Wuse and Garki markets. Several unregistered and counterfeit cosmetics were seized, with a total street value of Thirty-Seven Million Naira (₦37,000,000.00).
NAFDAC, in a statement, says it is committed to investigating the sources of these illegal products and will take strict regulatory action against those involved. All confiscated items, it pointed out, will be destroyed in line with the Agency’s laws and regulations, ensuring public safety.
The Agency urges the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious products or activities to the nearest NAFDAC office.
