The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDC) has reminded the public of the ban on the sale of imported frozen chicken, turkey, and catfish in the country.
NAFDAC stated this during a sensitisation programme at the Kado Fish Market in Abuja. The agency reiterated its commitment to upholding the Federal Government’s policy promoting local farmers and producers of the products.

The chairman of Abuja Fish and Frozen Food Sellers Association, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed, assured NAFDAC of member’s compliance with the guidelines and urged the agency to fairly implement enforcement measures.
