The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control, or NAFDAC, had its Lagos office overrun by Organised Labour yesterday, February 6, in protest of the production lines of businesses that produce alcoholic beverages in sachets and tiny bottles under 200ml being forced to shut down.
Labour, led by leaders of Nigeria’s Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the National Union of Food, Beverage, and Tobacco Employees (NUFBTE), has rejected the Federal Government’s ban on the production of alcoholic beverages in sachets and small bottles, claiming that no fewer than 45,000 jobs and billions of Naira investments are at risk.
