The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Port Harcourt Area I Command, has handed over a consignment of intercepted expired medicaments worth N59 million to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) at the command’s headquarters in Port Harcourt.
The handover ceremony, which underscores inter agency collaboration in safeguarding public health, was attended by representatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the Department of State Services (DSS), other security agencies, freight forwarding associations, stakeholders and members of the media.
Speaking during the ceremony, the Customs Area Controller, Port Harcourt Area I Command, Comptroller Salamatu Atuluku, stated that the seizure was a clear demonstration of the command’s commitment to preventing harmful and prohibited pharmaceutical products from finding their way into Nigerian markets.
She said the expired medicines were intercepted during a joint examination conducted by officers of the command in collaboration with NAFDAC and other relevant agencies, noting that the consignment contained several cartons of expired pharmaceutical products with a Combined Insurance and Freight (CIF) value of over N59 million.
“The interception prevented what could have resulted in serious public health consequences, as expired medicines pose significant health risks, including treatment failure, drug toxicity and antimicrobial resistance,” she said.
She reaffirmed that the Nigeria Customs Service would remain resolute in protecting the nation’s borders against the importation of expired, substandard, falsified and prohibited goods.
Receiving the intercepted items on behalf of NAFDAC, the Deputy Director, NAFDAC Port Inspection Directorate, Pharm. Adepoju Bayo Raufu, commended the Nigeria Customs Service for its vigilance and sustained partnership in protecting Nigerians from harmful pharmaceutical products.
He assured that the agency would immediately commence the necessary regulatory procedures to ensure the safe disposal of the expired medicaments in accordance with established laws and guidelines.
Also in his response, the Zonal Director, NAFDAC South South Zone, Pharm. Chukwuma Oligbu, described the handover as another testament to the excellent working relationship between NAFDAC and the Nigeria Customs Service.
