Protesters Storm NAFDAC Lagos Office
Workers of distilleries resumed their protest at the NAFDAC office in Lagos over the ban on sachet alcohol.
The demonstration took place as tensions continue to rise within the industry following enforcement measures by the regulatory agency.
The staff, who gathered at the premises, called for a reconsideration of the restriction, saying the ban is affecting jobs and livelihoods.
They argued that many workers and small distributors depend on sachet alcohol sales to survive.
The renewed protest comes amid ongoing debate over public health concerns and regulatory control of alcohol packaging.
NAFDAC has maintained that the policy is aimed at addressing misuse and protecting public safety.
Security personnel were present at the scene to ensure order as discussions around the controversial ban continue.
