The Lagos State Government has warned residents against the consumption of herbal medicines not certified by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), citing serious public health risks.
The State Commissioner for Health, Akin Abayomi, issued the warning during the 2025 Lagos State Ministerial Press Briefing held at Alausa, Ikeja, where he also presented key achievements in the health sector over the past year.
Speaking on Wednesday, Abayomi cautioned, “No one should consume any herbal medication that is not certified by NAFDAC.
“Those who indulge in unapproved herbal concoctions are exposing themselves to dangerous health conditions. The government will not be held responsible for such actions.” (Channels)
