NAFDAC Complains About Nigeria’s Food Export

Post created on 12:41 pm

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has said that more than 70 percent of food exported from Nigeria is rejected abroad.

Speaking at the official commissioning of the new NAFDAC office complex at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Mojisola Adeyeye, the agency’s director-general, said the issue was causing huge financial losses to the exporters and the country at large.

However, she said the incidence of rejection of food exports by other countries may soon become a thing of the past, if collaboration between NAFDAC and other government agencies at the ports is strengthened.
