The North-West Zonal Director of the agency, Josephine Dayilim, disclosed this on Monday in Kaduna at a one-day sensitisation workshop for dealers on the registration of packaged edible oil under the ‘Micro-scale in Nigeria’. “Some people consume raw edible oil and if it happens to be contaminated it can cause some diseases including cancer.
“The agency would ensure that Nigerians consume only products that have been registered and certified by it as the leading regulator of all such products in Africa. Ms Dayilim said, “There is no better time than now to have this awareness workshop as the need for it cannot be overemphasised. “Impose appropriate sanctions for violations by placing violating outlets on hold and encouraging the owners to register such facilities based on NAFDAC-approved guidelines.
