NAFDACs

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, commonly known as NAFDAC, is a federal regulatory agency in Nigeria. Established in 1993, its primary mandate is to regulate and control the manufacture, importation, exportation, advertisement, distribution, sale, and use of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, and other regulated products. NAFDAC plays a crucial role in safeguarding public health by ensuring that these products meet certain standards of safety, quality, and efficacy.

NAFDAC's responsibilities include setting standards for regulated products, issuing permits and licenses for their production and sale, and conducting post-market surveillance to monitor the quality of products available to the public. The agency also works to prevent the circulation of counterfeit and substandard products, which pose a significant threat to public health. Through its activities, NAFDAC aims to protect Nigerians from harmful substances and ensure access to safe and effective health products. Its efforts involve collaboration with various stakeholders, including manufacturers, importers, distributors, and other government agencies, both domestically and internationally.
