NAFDAC Begins Gradual Reopening of Shops at Ogbo-Ogwu Drug Market in Onitsha
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has commenced the gradual reopening of shops at the Ogbo-Ogwu drug market in Onitsha.
This development follows the agency’s closure of the market on February 10, 2025, due to concerns over the sale and distribution of counterfeit, unregistered, and substandard drugs.
The unsealing exercise is being led by a Deputy Director of NAFDAC, Mr. Tunji Omoyemi.
According to NAFDAC, traders whose shops meet the required safety and documentation standards are being cleared to resume business operations.
Addressing the traders, the market chairman, Mr. Ndubuisi Chukwulota, urged full cooperation with the agency to facilitate the swift resumption of commercial activities.
