The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has begun the nationwide enforcement of the ban on alcoholic drinks packaged in sachets and PET bottles below 200 millilitres.
NAFDAC announced this on its official X handle on Wednesday, saying the enforcement operation is being carried out across the six geopolitical zones following the closure of non-compliant manufacturing facilities.
The agency warned manufacturers, importers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, transporters and other stakeholders to immediately surrender any remaining stock of the banned products.
It also reiterated that the enforcement exercise is aimed at curbing underage drinking, harmful alcohol consumption and substance abuse, particularly among children and young people.
