  • The deputy spokesman for the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, last Friday disclosed that the House and NAFDAC resolved to lift the ban

The Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, Moji Adeyeye, confirmed that the ban on the sale and consumption of sachet alcoholic beverages in the country remains in effect.

Adeyeye made this statement on Wednesday during a press briefing in Lagos.

She said, “The ban on sachet alcohol is a ministerial directive and the ban still remains until the ministers respond. The meeting last week Thursday is a continuation of the discussion.

“The outcome of the meeting is that the ministers should write a memo to the Speaker (of Reps) and the House (of Reps), and the Representative of the Speaker, Prof Jake Dan-Azumi then said we should continue the discussion after the recess of the House members in July. So, the discussion continues.”
