  • These include expired products voluntarily forfeited by distributors

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has destroyed smuggled, expired, and counterfeit drugs valued at nearly ₦11 billion in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The destruction occurred on Wednesday at the Moniya dumpsite in Akinyele Local Government Area. NAFDAC’s Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, represented by South-West Zonal Director Roseline Ajayi, revealed that the items, worth ₦10.99 billion, were seized or forfeited from five South-West states (excluding Lagos) and Kwara State.

“These include expired products voluntarily forfeited by distributors, unregistered and smuggled imports, fake drugs, and other unwholesome products,” Adeyeye said.

She emphasised that the move was part of NAFDAC’s mission to safeguard public health and eliminate substandard products. Adeyeye also acknowledged the support of partners like the Nigerian Customs Service, Police, and Civil Defence Corps in combating counterfeit goods.
