NAFDAC had announced the ban on the use of alcohol in sachets and pet bottles of less than 200ml last week Monday, stating that the decision was in line with the agreement reached by a tripartite committee set up in 2018 by the federal ministry of health.
The agency’s assistant chief regulation officer, Kazeem Adeniran said part of the 2018 agreement was that distillers, under the Distillers and Blenders Association of Nigeria (DIBAN), would stop the production of alcohol in sachets and pet bottles of less than 200ml with effect from January 31, 2024.
