The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has advised Nigerians to always purchase goods from where they can trace the seller through a receipt.
Director-General Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye gave this advice during the News Agency of Nigeria Forum in Abuja. “If receipt is not given, don’t buy,” she warned, noting that having a receipt would allow buyers to return defective or substandard goods for a refund.

She urged consumers to be vigilant to avoid falling victim to substandard goods and to prioritize health by cooking foods properly, especially grains, to eliminate germs.
