The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, on Wednesday said it has conducted a screening operation at the popular Idumota drug market in Lagos as part of its nationwide efforts to tackle the distribution of counterfeit medicines.

Addressing journalists and traders,  Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye stated, “The goal of this operation is to guarantee that medicines work as intended. When a child is given medicine, they should not die because the medicine contains nothing of value.”

The initiative, which began Sunday night, saw the sealing of three major open drugs’ markets in Idumota, Lagos; Bridgehead, in Onitsha, and Ariaria, in Aba, following alarming concerns over the widespread sale of dangerous, ineffective and potentially life-threatening medications.
