NAFDAC Shuts Down Bakery in Sokoto for Using Unfortified Sugar and Banned Bromate
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has taken significant action by shutting down a bakery in Sokoto State due to its use of unfortified sugar and prohibited bromate. This decision follows a targeted raid conducted by NAFDAC officials.
Mr. Garba Adamu, the NAFDAC State Coordinator, announced on Friday that the bakery was found to be in violation of regulations that mandate the use of only fortified sugar, which must contain Vitamin A and other essential micronutrients.
This regulation is part of a broader Federal Government policy aimed at maximizing the nutritional benefits and health advantages of food products consumed within the country.
In addition to this bakery, six other establishments were also penalized for failing to maintain proper hygiene standards. Enforcement actions were led by Mr. Buhari Manzo as part of a heightened inspection effort across the state’s bakeries.
These inspections are crucial to ensure that bakeries do not use unauthorized substitutes such as saccharine in place of the regulated, fortified ingredients.
Mr. Adamu emphasized that NAFDAC is committed to rigorous enforcement to prevent the use of adulterated, counterfeit, unregistered, and expired products.
The agency plans to extend its monitoring operations to local government areas to further ensure that only hygienically prepared and correctly labeled food products are available to consumers.
He urged the public to be cautious when buying products and to report any suspicious or questionable practices to NAFDAC.
This ongoing vigilance is part of the agency’s mission to protect public health and ensure the safety and quality of food products throughout Nigeria.
Nigerian Businessman Dr. Cosmos Maduka analyzes popular Billionaire, Aliko Dangote and describes him as the biggest debtor in Nigeria.
The businessman highlighted the fact that people who seem to have the most money are often the largest debtors.
“The number one debtor in Nigeria is Aliko Dangote. He’s the wealthiest man in Africa. The number one debtor in the world is the United States of America and you call them the richest in the world.”
“As you admire all of those things, it’s all credit. It’s all about credit. So you should leverage on loan, but you have to have a good structure that will support that loan.”
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has once again slashed the pump price of petrol across Nigeria, offering some relief to consumers. The new price now falls between N875 and N905 per litre, reflecting a N15 drop. This update was shared on the refinery’s official social media page on Thursday.
According to Dangote, the price cut affects major fuel distributors working with the refinery, including MRS, Ardova, Heyden, Optima Energy, Techno Oil, and Hyde Energy. With this change, Lagos residents will now buy petrol at N875 per litre. Those in the South-South and South-East regions will pay N905, while the South-West sees a new rate of N885.
In the North-West and central parts of the country, it’s N895, and the North-East will also pay N905. Dangote added that their petrol and diesel are not only high-quality but also designed to support engine efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has lowered the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), or petrol, to N825 per litre, down from N835, as competition heats up in Nigeria’s fuel market.
This follows last month’s price reduction, when the 650,000 barrels per day refinery dropped the price from N865 to N835. The recent price change is aimed at providing more value to customers while strengthening Dangote’s position as a leader in the domestic market.
