A viral video showing individuals destroying sachet water packs at factories and public buses has created uncertainty, with National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) denying involvement in the incident.
The agency stated on its social media platforms that the actions shown did not align with its enforcement protocols.
The agency clarified: “The videos circulating of individuals engaging in enforcement activities are NOT NAFDAC officials or part of our Investigation & Enforcement team.
“Furthermore, stopping vehicles to destroy products is unprofessional and does not align with any NAFDAC Standard Operating Procedure.”

Meanwhile, Naija News earlier reported that the Lagos State Government has debunked rumours that it plans to ban the production and sale of sachet water in the state.
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, clarified this in a statement shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Sunday.
He emphasized that the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu remains committed to addressing plastic waste through sustainable and inclusive measures rather than outright bans.
The commissioner reiterated the government’s ongoing efforts to combat plastic pollution, referencing an Engagement Workshop organized by the ministry on October 3, 2024.
