The Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control NAFDAC, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, has knocked Nigerians blaming the agency for the circulation of fake food products in the market.
In recent times, Nigerians have complained over the alarming rate of fake food products in circulation. Over the weekend, actress Ruth Kadiri raised alarm after purchasing ‘fake ginger’'.
In a recent interview with Businessday, Professor Adeyeye said Nigerians are ignorant and fail to read up the mandate of NAFDAC. According to her, regulation of fresh food products is not within the powers of NAFDAC but the Ministry of Agriculture. According to Professor Adeyeye, NAFDAC only regulates processed and semi-processed food items.
