Today, the Director, South-East Zone, Dr. Martins Iluyomade visited the Ogbu-Ogwu drug market in Onitsha to verify claims that the market was still not open for business.
Contrary to the allegations, the market was officially reopened on March 9, 2025, and over 2,500 traders…
…and 3,500 shops are operating under regulatory supervision.
A small number of shops remain sealed, as their owners, linked to the sale of banned narcotics, have yet to present themselves for verification and regulatory clearance.
NAFDAC will continue to enforce existing laws, ensure full compliance, and identify and prosecute violators.
Law-abiding traders are encouraged to continue their operations as the Agency remains resolute in ensuring the safety, quality, and efficacy of all regulated products.
