NAFDAC to clampdown on illegal herbal medicine dealers in Kaduna

The National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it will clampdown on unethical and illegal advertisement of herbal medicines in Kaduna State.

The State Coordinator, Mr Nasiru Mato, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Kaduna.

He said the excesses and arbitrary advertisement of herbal medicine products in the state were quite alarming and needed to be checked.

Mato therefore advised the traditional medicine vendors to comply with the agency’s call on them to get registered and obtain certificates before advertising their products, to avoid sanctions.
