NAFDAC Enforces Crackdown on Illegal Alcoholic Sachets, PET Bottles in Imo | Daily Report Nigeria

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has ramped up its enforcement of the federal government’s ban on alcoholic beverages sold in sachets and containers smaller than 200ml

The crackdown, which saw a major operation carried out in Owerri, Imo State on Wednesday, targets the illicit trade in small-volume alcoholic drinks, which the government links to rising social and health issues, particularly among the youth.

Speaking during the operation, Mrs. Mercy Ndukwe, NAFDAC’s coordinator for Imo State, stressed the agency’s commitment to protecting public health.

“This enforcement operation is a clear signal of the government’s resolve to protect public health and ensure compliance with regulations,” Ndukwe said.

The ban was initially introduced to combat the detrimental effects of small-volume alcohol, which is often associated with poor academic performance, impaired judgment, and an increase in social vices, particularly among students.

During the raid, NAFDAC officials targeted key locations in Owerri, including Douglas Market, Amakohia, MCC Road, and Tetlow Road, seizing over 40 cartons of contraband alcoholic beverages.

Vendors caught selling banned products received stern warnings, with Ndukwe underscoring that those continuing to trade in these items would face legal consequences.

“Any entity still dealing in these products is engaging in illegal trade and will be prosecuted,” she warned.

NAFDAC had previously halted issuing new production licenses for these beverages, allowing manufacturers to phase out their stocks.

The agency had also carried out a nationwide sensitization campaign to inform the public about the ban.

Ndukwe reiterated that ignorance of the ban would not be accepted as an excuse, adding, “Public safety is our priority. We are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the production, distribution, and sale of these banned products come to an end.”
