NAFDAC clarifies sachet alcohol ban timeline

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has clarified its stance regarding the nationwide ban on sachet alcohol

The Director of the FCT Directorate of the agency, Kenneth Azikiwe, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday that the temporary lifting of the ban is only valid until 31 December, 2025.

Mr Azikiwe emphasised that the recent ministerial lifting of the ban is not permanent and urged the public to disregard misinformation suggesting that the government had permanently lifted the restriction.

“There is a ministerial lifting on the ban of sachet alcohol, but it is only temporary and will be reviewed by 31 Dec, 2025. After this date, the full enforcement of the ban will commence.” he said.
