The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has commenced full enforcement of the ban on the production and sale of alcoholic beverages packaged in sachets and polyethene terephthalate (PET) bottles below 200 millilitres.
The Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, announced this in Lagos during a media briefing organised by the agency.
NAFDAC had earlier disclosed plans to begin enforcement of a total ban on the affected products by December 2025, in line with a directive from the Nigerian Senate.
Adeyeye said the agency has now received fresh formal authorisation from the upper legislative chamber, adding that enforcement actions have already begun nationwide.
