The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has blacklisted Onifam Laboratories Limited, its Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, members of its board of directors and other affiliated individuals and entities over alleged regulatory violations.
The agency said the sanction, which takes immediate effect, bars the company and the affected individuals from participating, directly or indirectly, in pharmaceutical activities regulated by NAFDAC.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, said investigations by the agency uncovered multiple violations of regulatory requirements governing the pharmaceutical sector.
According to the statement, the alleged infractions include regulatory misrepresentation, misuse of NAFDAC approvals and certificates, improper registration and transfer of pharmaceutical products, and actions aimed at circumventing established regulatory processes.
