The National Agency for Food and Drug
Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has shut down 10 substandard and
unregistered sachet water factories in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
According to reports, the agency
made the clamp down during the operation and arrested four persons.
The state coordinator of NAFDAC, Mercy
Ndukwe, who disclosed this in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt, said
four buses, three sachet water packaging machines, rolls of films and three
generator sets used in the business, were also impounded during the operation.
Ndukwe stated that the operation is
aimed at sanitizing the chaotic sachet water business in the state, saying that
in as much as NAFDAC encourages small scale producers and entrepreneurship, it
will never compromise standards.
