NAFDAC |
The Director
General, National Agency for Food and Drug Control (NAFDAC), Dr. Yetunde
Oni, has stated that the ban placed on exportation of beans by the
European Union due to its claim of being substandard and poisonous has
been lifted for the next three years by the union.
Speaking during the
visit of the Senate Health Committee to the agency, she said this was
made possible because the agency has put in place strategic attempt to
improvise locally made products in other to suit both local and
international demand.
"We are putting our
best as an institution to ensure that all leakages are blocked, and we
are also ensuring that next year will be better than this year because
we have put a lot of strategies in place," she added.
While calling for
the circulating of counterfeit drug to be traced to the activities at
the country borders, Oni pleaded with the health committee to facilitate
NAFDAC's return to the border to carry out their duties in order to
ensure that counterfeit products were seized from entering the country.
"The unwholesome
product coming into the country comes through porous active border post,
and NAFDAC is not at the ports. We are not aware of what is entering
into the country. Although we have a strong relationship with the
customs and we are always invited to perform our roles, but being at the
port used to be the case in the past. We want the Ministry of Health to
help us look into it," she said.
On his part, the
Senate Health Committee Chairman, Senator OlanrewajuTejuosho said the
health facility tour of various institutions, including NAFDAC was to
prepare and ensure a better budget preparation against 2017.
He said 2016 budget
suffered a lot of paddling as a result of impromptu preparation of the
budget which was planned within two to three weeks.
He lamented that
products under exporting ban were negatively affecting the country as
income to be generated from exporting were meant to boost the financial
situation of the country.
He called on NAFDAC
to ensure that products for exporting meet international standard as
this would also increase the inflow of foreign exchange into the
country.
