As the 2012 Trade Fair began weekend in Lagos, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has assured visitors of a wholesome exhibition.

The Agency had last Friday stormed the exhibition ground with its product monitoring surveillance with a view to ensuring that no unregistered product is exhibited at the fair.

The Public Relations Officer of the Agency,    Mrs. Christiana Obiazikwor who spoke on behalf of the Director General of the Agency, Dr. Paul Orhii explained that already the Agency has deployed all its regulatory departments to the fair  holding at the Trade Fair Centre at Onikan in Lagos Island.

“The Agency has fully deployed its cutting edge technology, Truscan Machines, to instantly determine the status of some regulated product on exhibition when necessary.

“These activities will provide full range coverage of the entire market; reinforce the confidence that shoppers visiting any exhibition stands will have access to wholesome products,” she added.

Orhii explained that the major focus of the Agency at the fair  would be on education and awareness creation aimed at enhancing public understanding of requirements and processes needed for the registration of NAFDAC regulated products.
