People Talk: On NAFDAC’s ban on sale of alcohol in sachets

By Damilola Ogunsakin

NAFDAC’s Director-General, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, announced the commencement of stringent enforcement against the import, production, distribution, and sale of alcoholic beverages packaged in sachets, PET, and tiny glass bottles (200ml and below).

This move follows an earlier decision in January 2022 to halt the registration of such products, aiming to curb the availability of alcohol in easily accessible formats.

Despite opposition from some sections of society, NAFDAC commenced the enforcement of the ban across the country on February 1, 

Today on people talk, we ask Nigerians what they think about the ban.
