Article1
Figures cited by Punch show the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control destroyed expired medicines valued at N59 million in Rivers State. The exercise is part of routine enforcement against unfit products in the pharmaceutical supply chain.
Independent confirmation was limited to Punch’s latest-news listing; a second full feature with location-level inventory was not in the reviewed feeds.
Echotitbits take: Destruction events are visibility tools as much as public-health actions. Watch whether NAFDAC names the supply sources and whether similar hauls appear in other states this quarter.
