The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered illegal water factories in the country’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
NAFDAC disclosed this on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, noting that it discovered the facilities while conducting a compliance operation targeting water production factories in the FCT.
“In Gwarimpa, inspectors uncovered a facility manufacturing and selling unregistered sachet and table water under unsanitary conditions. All illegal products were destroyed on-site,” the agency stated.
The regulatory body also revealed that in Nyanya area of the country’s capital, some facilities were issued compliance directives to address observed gaps before resuming production.
It emphasised its commitment to consumer safety and encouraged the public to report suspected illegal activities or products to aid its regulatory efforts.
