Mojisola Adeyeye, director-general of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has directed the closure of the Gomboru drug market in Maiduguri, Borno state.
In a social media post on Thursday, NAFDAC said it was discovered that drugs affected by the flood were being washed and sun-dried for sale at the market.
“After the recent flooding in Maiduguri that submerged the Gomboru drug market where contaminated drugs were washed and sun-dried for resale, the NAFDAC DG ordered the immediate closure of the market to conduct a thorough shop-to-shop removal of these compromised drugs,” the post reads.
On September 10, many residents fled their homes following a flood incident which affected parts of Fori, Galtimari, Gwange, and Bulabulin in Maiduguri
