Aba Market News

NAFDAC

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, says Eziukwu Market, also known as Cemetery Market, in Aba, Abia State, is a centre for production and distribution of fake and substandard drinks and beverages.

The agency made the declaration during an operation led by Mr Martins Iluyomade, Director, South-East Zone, at the market on Tuesday. Iluyomade described the market as a centre for mass production and distribution of fake and substandard products, likening the situation to weapons of mass destruction. The director said in spite of previous crackdowns, including a major operation in December 2023, illegal activities persisted in the market.

“During the last operation the leadership of the market signed an undertaking with NAFDAC to identify and expose those involved in the production and sale of fake goods,' he said. According to him, the agency will revisit the agreement as market leaders now have serious questions to answer. Iluyomade said the volume of expired products being re-validated was deeply troubling. He advised consumers to remain vigilant about the products they purchase to avoid endangering their health.
