This initiative is aimed to protect public health and prevent the sale of compromised products that could lead to disease outbreaks. Led by NAFDAC officials from Borno, Yobe, Gombe, and the NAFDAC Area Laboratory, the operation targeted Gamboru, Monday Market, Open Air-Theatre Drug Market, and Gwange Drug Market. Contaminated food and drugs, valued at over N5 billion, were seized and sea. NAFDAC also issued guidance to vendors and the public on identifying and handling potentially unsafe products.
