National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, says it has reopened its offices in 11 local government areas liberated from Boko Haram insurgents in Borno.
Nasiru Mato, the State Coordinator of the agency, announced the reopening of the offices yesterday in Maiduguri, when he visited the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibn-Garbai.
Mato said NAFDAC reopened the offices to continue its fight against fake and substandard products.
He said that he was at the Shehu’s palace to seek for his blessings and cooperation in the fight against fake drugs and substandard foods in the state.
According to him, the agency is also seeking collaboration with the police, military, NSCDC and all security agencies in carrying out its duty.
In his remark, the Shehu of Borno said the visit was a testimony of the agency’s regard for the traditional institution. He pledged the support of Borno Traditional Council to NAFDAC, to enable it discharge its duties successfully.
