He explained that the owner had also been educated and guided on how to register his products according to stipulated guidelines.
According to him, NAFDAC engages producers in business-friendly and customer-focussed activities to align with the Federal Government’s policy of encouraging entrepreneurship in Nigerian communities.
The NAFDAC coordinator added that the focus was to substantially subsidise registration requirements for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises producing specific low-risk products.
He said the agency embarked on the process while ensuring quality of the products through well entrenched regulatory framework that
had quality management system certification.
He reiterated the agency’s commitment toward safeguarding public health and urged people to support its activities.
