“Only the Law Can Stop Us” — NAFDAC DG Speaks on Sachet Water Ban
It has been noted that the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has officially banned sachet water and 200ml PET alcohol bottles.
This was revealed on January 23 by the Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, who announced the new regulation.
However, it has been reported that the law has faced protests. Addressing this, the Director-General stated:
“We told them clearly that we will continue the enforcement because it is backed by the law.”
“If the law changes and says we should not regulate alcohol, we will stop. Only the law can stop us from performing our duties,” she said.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
The Nigeria Union of Teachers staged a protest following the abduction of teachers and students in Oyo State, stating that no school in Nigeria is truly safe at the moment.
The teachers held a peaceful rally, calling for the safe release and rescue of the abducted teachers and students. They urged authorities to intensify efforts to secure their freedom and improve security across schools.
Amid the calls for their release, the union added “People travelling on highways are being dragged into forests after vehicles are stopped. One can no longer move freely. These criminal groups have littered every corner of the federation carrying out nefarious activities. We must be truthful to ourselves; government has not done enough.”
