INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE
STUDY
NAFDAC was established by decree 15 of 1993 as amended by decree
No 1999 to regulate and control importation, exportation, manufacturing,
advertisement, distribution, sale and use of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical
devices, the target chemicals bottled water, all non as regulated product.
The importance of food and drugs to man and animal particularly is
very obvious. They need food in order to grow and sustain life.
While life goes on and because of the inherent deposition to illness, the
organs of the body may not always function properly. Such body
dysfunction may be due to infection arising from the in take of contaminated
food or water. It may also result from the effect of corrosive or
poisonous chemicals on the body or due to breakdown following exhaustive work
on degeneration of the body organs.
These situation of ill health provided the compelling need for
drugs in order to modify functioning of the body and restore it to
normal. To be acceptable, the drugs must not be deterious to the body but
should rather produce a positive effect, which leads to restoration of normal
life. In like manner, cosmetics should have no harmful effect on the body
to which they are applied.
It is the duty of governments to protect the health and the
citizens. The challenge in this regard, a part from that of providing
treatment facilities for the sick, is to prevent the hazards arising from
unwholesome foods, ineffective, substandard and adulterated drugs, toxic and
corrosive cosmetics and chemicals as well as contaminated water.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
Foods, drugs, cosmetics water etc are common products, there is no
single home where soap, salt, vegetable oil, body cream, water, paracetamol,
tooth paste etc are not used daily, whereas for other product like clothing,
utensil, furniture which quality can sensorial be rightly appraised it is not
so with the former products for example can any individual rightly and safely
declare the constituents of his favourite imported or local biscuits just with
his sensory organ? It is impossible. This is because to do such
requires:
i) Determining the condition under which the
product is manufactured.
ii) Ascertaining its physicochemical and
microbiological constituents.
iii) Determining whether the prepared food has more
nutritional value than another.
iv) Determining the toxicity on human being.
v) Ensuring that its constituents is what the label
says it is etc.
vi) Ascertaining whether the performance of the
product will meet consumers need.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE
STUDY
Prior to the creation of NAFDAC in 1992, the control and
regulation of food, drugs, cosmetics, chemical and packaged water was seriously
hampered by bureaucratic bottlenecks among other factors. The decision of
government to create the agency in 1992 was therefore informed by desire to
ensure a more effective control of food, drugs and other regulated
products. During the inauguration of the NAFDAC council on December 1992,
the minister of health Professor Olikoye Rasome Kuti had this to say “NAFDAC as
an agency is being inaugurated today, to give a frontal attack to the health
problems arising from foods, chemicals, drugs, cosmetics, medicine and similar
regulated product without the inhibition of the civil service setting”.
“Furthermore, they have ensure that the regulated product other
for consumption to unsepted consumers are of good quality, save nutritious
efficacious and wholesome as desire. This product have a greater impact
on human health such that their effective control is necessary in other to
avoid catastrophic consequences on the consumers.
Furthermore, they have to ensure that the regulated product other
for consumptions to unsepted consumers are of good quality, save nutritious
efficacious and wholesome as desire. This product have a greater impact
on human health such that their effective control is necessary in other to
avoid catastrophic consequences on the consumers.
There is also an economic expertors this control, which is to
ensure that an suspecting consumer does not spend his hard earned money in the
purchase of fake and adulterated product.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
STUDY
Employing the services of trained unbiased independent and
experienced personnel form various field of study.
Using some sophisticated scientific equipment.
Dealing with similar regulatory body of foreign countries.
Informing the public (consumers of their findings).
Formulating laws to back up control on industries.
They will offer us who are normally bog barrows have money and
influence and as usual employ any type of approaches on the affairs from
procuring the agencies mandate and some times planned any type of malicious
alleviation staff, if or to ensure that the product activities are sustained.
Public are not coming forth, they give us tips on where
unwholesome regulated product have been produced.
Since no individual consumer or group of manufacturers can do this
solely and without prejudice, it bellows the government (neither the
manufacturers nor the consumers) to set up a factual body to exercise this duty
or exercise this mandate on behalf of Nigerian Government NAFDAC is unique in
that its multi disciplinary staff including scientist, pharmacists, lawyers and
administrators work interactively to make decisions that effect Nigerians in
particular and foreigner in general.
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
In Nigeria, this is the responsibility of the Federal Ministry of
Health. Within the ministry and until 31st December
1992, that responsibility devolved on the department of Food and Drugs
Administration and Control (FDAC). The birth of the National Agency for
Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) as a parastatues of Ministry
was necessitated by the need to overcome a number of difficulties which had
militated against the attainment of the goals of the former FDAC
department. These difficulties arose from the encapsulation of the
department within the ministry and were inevitably linked with the normal
bureaucratic ministerial positions which are manifest in:
Slow mobilization of ideas, men and materials for productive work,
inadequate resource acquisition utilization and management, slow disciplinary
and poor reward system and poor funding of activities necessary for effective
design and implementation of programmes.
They are traceable to a lack of awareness by the public in
practical terms of the sensitivity and relevance of matters concerning control
measures on food drugs cosmetics water and chemicals to both preventive and
curative health care. Such control measures when executed successfully provide
guaranteed saving of a high percentage of the expenditure by the government and
individual to cure or relive illness.
Another very important reason for the establishment of NAFDAC was
the need to separate the control functions of the former FDAC which relate to
inspection, product registration and regulations, as well as evaluation and
control of product quality from its functions relating to the production,
procurement, supply and distribution of drugs.
NAFDAC was thus established by Decree No 15 of 1993 (commencement
data 1st October, 1992) as a
parastatals of the Federal Ministry of Health to carry out among other things,
all the control functions of the former FDAC while the service functions remain
within the ministry.
