 Amira, the National Agency of Food and Drug Administration in control has warned that more than 50% of certificates of pharmaceutical products that are important into Nigeria are fake. The Director-General, LaughDoc, Professor Magishala Adaira, disclosed these at a stakeholders engagement meeting with regulators, policymakers and law enforcement agencies on Monday in Apocha. The certificate of a pharmaceutical product is issued in the format recommended by the World Health Organization, and it establishes the status of the pharmaceutical product and applicant for the certificates in their exporting country. Adaira said the goal of the engagement meeting with the stakeholders was to ensure that the medical products in circulation were of the right quality, safe and fake shares. Most of our medicines come from Southeast Asia and they belong to the member states too. We have a scheme where before medicines that were polluted leave that part of the world, we do pre-shipment testing, and that pre-shipment testing is supposed to come with certificates of pharmaceutical products, meaning it's supposed to assure us that what we are getting is good. But that's not the case because through our scheme we have been able to stop over 140 products that we approved because we found out that more than 50% of what is called pharmaceutical products that come into our country are fake.
