NAFDAC Bars Onifam Laboratories and Directors After Regulatory Probe

NAFDAC Bars Onifam Laboratories and Directors After Regulatory Probe

NAFDAC has blacklisted Onifam Laboratories Limited, its Managing Director, all directors, and every affiliated individual or entity for serious regulatory breaches. An extensive inquiry by the agency uncovered misrepresentation of approvals, misuse of certificates, and improper registration and transfer of pharmaceutical products. Such actions weaken accountability, undermine product traceability, and pose significant risks to public health. The ban takes immediate effect. Those blacklisted cannot apply for NAFDAC licences, certificates, or approvals, nor act as manufacturers, importers, distributors, consultants, or sponsors of regulated products. NAFDAC warns that further administrative and legal steps may follow as it reaffirms its commitment to safeguard Nigerians against substandard medicines.

What impact do you think NAFDAC's blacklist of Onifam Laboratories will have on public trust in local pharmaceutical approvals?

True talk—this move could really rattle faith in our local drug approvals if no extra clarity follows.

It's surprising that misrepresentation and certificate misuse went undetected for so long despite regulatory frameworks meant to prevent exactly such breaches.

Are we sure NAFDAC's decision isn't just a way to send a harsh message rather than address actual safety concerns here?

Consumers should verify drug approvals and report suspicious labeling to authorities to help prevent future regulatory violations like these.
