The organization was aimed to be created to protect Nigerians from illicit products and pass the safety law. Nigeria always had problems with illicit products that kept coming to our country. In 1989 incident, more than 150 children died due to paracetamol syrup containing poison elements.

The problem of manufacturing fake medical pills was so big, some neighboring countries at a time prohibited the sale of medicine, beverages, and food from Nigeria.

Such a problem couldn’t stay unsolved, and the Federal Government of Nigeria created NAFDAC with the goal to destroy fake medical drugs, food, and beverages. It was also needed to ensure the safety of all medications in the country.

NAFDAC replaced the earlier body created under the Federal Ministry of Health. This body was called the Directorate of Food and Drug Administration and Control. This legislative body was deemed ineffective and had to stop existing.

The first governing council of NAFDAC gathered in 1992 under the NAFDAC chairman Tanimu Saulawa. The main idea of that gathering was to support the legislative process of creating a new body with the name NAFDAC. The Federal Ministry of Health supported the initiative of creating this new institution.

  2. The first object is to regulate and control the importation and exportation of medical drugs in Nigeria. It also includes taking full control over products that Nigerians get from other countries.
  3. Discover fake products to ensure the standards of the Federal Government regarding these products is the main object of NAFDAC.

Therefore, this organization has a function to undertake an appropriate investigation of the production, manufacturing, raw materials.
