The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has blacklisted Onifam Laboratories Ltd. following investigations that revealed regulatory misrepresentation and other violations that could compromise public health.
The agency’s Director-General, Mojisola Adeyeye, announced the decision on Monday during a news briefing at NAFDAC’s Investigation and Enforcement Directorate in Apapa, Lagos.
Represented by the agency’s Director of Investigation and Enforcement, Martins Iluyomade, Ms Adeyeye said investigations revealed that the company engaged in regulatory misrepresentation, including the improper use of approvals and certificates, as well as activities that undermined product traceability, accountability and the integrity of the country’s medicines regulatory system.
She said the company’s actions violated the NAFDAC Act, Cap. N1 LFN 2004, the Food, Drug and Related Products.
She said the company’s action also violated the Act Cap. F33 LFN 2004, the Drug and Related Products Registration Regulations 2021 and applicable guidelines.
