The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, (NAFDAC), has shut 15 bakeries and sachet water factories in Bauchi State, for an alleged noncompliance
Mrs Josephine Dayilim, State Coordinator of the Agency stated this in an interactive session with Journalists in Bauchi.
She said the bakeries and water factories were sealed for non compliance to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Hygienic Practice (GHP) in Bauchi and Katagum local government areas of the state.
Dayilim said some of the shut factories did not meet the minimum requirements to operate, while others were not registered with the agency.
“The agency embarked on serious sensitisation visits to Azare communities and Bauchi communities to create awareness on key issues of health concern, ranging from dangers of drug abuse and how to identify fake products.
“The implementation of bread production without registration with NAFDAC is that some bakers might use the banned substance.
“Such as potassium bromate which can cause kidney failure, loss of hearing and breakdown of vitamins Incorporated in the flour.
“While sachet water production of unregistered packaged water could be detrimental to health because the water is poorly treated and can cause diarrhea ,cholera,” she said.
The coordinator explained that the Agency would not relent on its efforts with routine inspection to ensure a healthy society as well as create more awareness.
She added that the basis was to ensure that the health and safety of the public is adequately catered for.
Dayilim also manufacturers to always ensure compliance with good hygiene practice, as well as good manufacturing guidelines and ensure to register with the agency.
She said the agency would not hesitate to sanctions and manufacturers found defaulting the safety of consumers.
“That means the safety, wholesomeness and efficacy of the product has not been ascertained, so it is dangerous to the health of consumers.
“Urging consumers to always check NAFDAC registration number before buying products and also to check the manufacturing date on products.
“Expiry date and batch number and the address of the company before buying products.” Dayilim said.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
