Osun State Coordinator of the Agency, Dr. Isaac Kolawole, who disclosed this in an exclusive interview with FLOWERBUDNEWS in Oshogbo, said that one of such water facility, found operating contrary to NAFDAC hygienic and operational regulations had been closed down.
”We impounded their prodiction machine because of the unacceptable hygenic condition of the facility,’: Dr. Kolawole said.

He warned that NAFDAC in Osun was determined to ensure that water producers in the state ”adhere to regulations and must be able to maintain high sanitary and hygenic condition in their factories”.
Dr. Kolawole said that the water producers were, however, also being sensitised on the need to follow good manufacturing practices to ensure that water being consumed across the state were pure and safe.
”We are sensitising them on the need to ensure regular servicing of their treatment plants,” the NAFDAC Director said, adding that the objective was to ensure that their production system prevented contamination
He said that during sensitisation visits, the Agency laid serious emphasis on regular removal and replacement of their sand filters to ensure it effectively trapped micro organisms that could endangered consumers if it escaped into the water.
Dr. Kolawole said that the Agency always insisted that the finished water product section should be detached from the production section as part of efforts to prevent contamination and other possible health risks.
He warned that the Agency would not hesitate to apply sanctions against any water facility found contravening laid down production rules and regulations.
