The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has announced the reopening of the popular Ogbogwu drugs market in Onitsha, Anambra State.
NAFDAC Director, South-east zone, Dr Martins Iluyomade made the announcement on behalf of the agency’s Director General, Professor Mojisola Christianah Adeyeye shortly after a brief meeting with the state government officials led by the Commissioner for Health, Dr Afam Ben Obidike, the market leaders and the media, held at the market premises on Thursday.
He said the agency agreed to reopen the market following the persistent intervention from the State Governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo and the agreement signed by the market leaders with NAFDAC not to go back to the sales of fake, expired and substandard products in the market.
