The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has come out to say that the agency is doing everything possible to have a calendar to accommodate the period between product inspection after certificate and approval.
Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, the NAFDAC Director-General revealed this in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Abuja.
According to her, the idea became imperative to improve checks on the standard of products to confirm if such product is of the required quality as stated and approved by the agency.
She added that it was also meant to check the shadiness and tactics that some manufacturers are currently adopting to bypass the set standard by NAFDAC.
Her words, “We have to do more work unfortunately here because some clients will bring their ideal formulation for foods or drugs, but after they get the approval, they change things on us.
“We are planning towards a calendar when our post marketing directorate surveillance directorate will be going out on this, we will pay a surprise visit to manufacturers or clients, but we as an agency knows when to go.
“We have overhauled our post marketing surveillance and the time to follow-up on inspection will be unexpected to the people, it will be strictly unannounced.”
