NAFDAC boss, Paul Ohii
Guinness Nigeria Plc has denied the allegations levelled against it, by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
According to Punch Newspapers, the company said
“The
management of Guinness Nigeria does not fully understand the basis for
the computation of the administrative charges nor the particular
regulations alleged to have been infringed, and is currently in
discussions with NAFDAC with a view to gaining better clarity on the
issue and hopefully have it resolved.
“Guinness
Nigeria has operated in Nigeria for over 65 years and has conducted its
business in accordance with all relevant laws and regulations in
Nigeria and Diageo’s global policies and procedures relating to good
manufacturing practice.
“Guinness Nigeria
is cognizant of its responsibility to adhere to relevant laws and
regulations, which are applicable to its operations, including
regulations issued by NAFDAC, and takes this obligation seriously.
“We
remain committed to working with NAFDAC and other regulatory
authorities in furtherance of our responsibility to produce and market
quality products, which are enjoyed by consumers throughout Nigeria, and
look forward to being able to resolve the issue working in partnership
with NAFDAC.”
NAFDAC fined the company N1b
for allegedly revalidating expired products without authorisation and
supervision, and exposing its raw materials to rodents.
