FG Gives NAFDAC 2 Weeks Ultimatum to Register SMEs

The Federal Government on Tuesday directed NAFDAC to register all Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) exhibitors at the ongoing 1st Nigeria Food Safety and Investment Forum within two weeks.

The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, gave the order at the forum organised by the UN Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) in Lagos.

Adewole also ordered that all the SMEs should be given 50 per cent rebate certification registration by NAFDAC.

He also mandated the agency to compile the list of the affected SMEs exhibitors who were finding it difficult getting certification and ensure that the process was concluded within the next two weeks.
