The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has strengthened the operational capacity of its Directorate of Investigation and Enforcement with the deployment of three 20-foot trucks.
The vehicles — Mercedes-Benz LK 1620, Mercedes-Benz 1414 and Mercedes-Benz 1413 — were formally received by the Directorate at its Apapa, Lagos office.
Director of Investigation and Enforcement and Chairman of the Federal Taskforce on Counterfeit and Fake Drugs and Unwholesome Processed Foods, Dr. Martins Iluyomade, received the trucks on behalf of the Directorate.
He commended the Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, for providing critical operational resources to strengthen the Directorate’s mandate.
Dr. Iluyomade said the vehicles would enhance the Agency’s ability to respond promptly to enforcement demands, particularly in the movement of personnel, equipment and seized products.
The deployment comes as NAFDAC intensifies nationwide enforcement against counterfeit, fake, unwholesome and unregistered regulated products.
The Agency reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding public health through sustained regulatory and enforcement operations across the country.
