National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has strengthened the operational capacity of the Directorate of Investigation and Enforcement (I&E) with the deployment of three 20-foot trucks to support regulatory and enforcement activities nationwide.
The vehicles, Mercedes-Benz LK 1620, Mercedes-Benz 1414 and Mercedes-Benz 1413, were formally received by the Directorate at its Apapa, Lagos office.
The Director of I&E and Chairman, Federal Taskforce on Counterfeit and Fake Drugs and Unwholesome Processed Foods, Dr. Martins Iluyomade, commended the Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, for providing critical operational resources to strengthen the Directorate’s mandate.
He noted that the vehicles would enhance the Agency’s ability to respond promptly to enforcement demands, particularly the movement of personnel, equipment and seized products.
The deployment comes as NAFDAC intensifies enforcement against counterfeit, fake, unwholesome and unregistered regulated products across the country.
