NAFDAC Seizes ₦20.5 Billion Worth of Fake Drugs and Tomato Paste in Rivers State The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered and seized a massive haul of fake drugs and adulterated tomato paste in Rivers State, estimated to be worth over ₦20.5 billion. According to officials, the raid which took place after weeks of undercover surveillance targeted warehouses where these fake products were being stored and distributed across the country. A Shocking Discovery NAFDAC officials said they found: Large quantities of counterfeit drugs, some with fake expiry dates Adulterated tomato paste packaged to look like trusted brands Expired and unregistered items being sold as safe for use Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, the agency’s Director-General, called the discovery alarming and dangerous, especially with how easily these products could have ended up in people’s homes. > “This is more than a business crime—it’s a direct attack on the health and lives of Nigerians,” she said. “People could have died from using these fake drugs or consuming these harmful products.” What Happens Now? A few suspects have already been arrested and are being questioned, though their names haven’t been released yet. NAFDAC says this is just one of several planned operations aimed at cleaning up the system and holding those responsible accountable. They’re also urging Nigerians to be more cautious check expiry dates, buy from trusted sources, and report any suspicious products. > “We’ve made a huge step today,” said one official on the ground. “But this fight isn’t over. We’ll keep going until every fake product is off the shelves.” This latest seizure is not just a victory for NAFDAC but a warning to anyone still dealing in fake and dangerous products: the agency is watching and they’re ready to act.

The One Conversation That Changed Her Business Last year, Amarachi was stuck. She had a great product. A loyal handful of customers. But no idea how to grow. At an event, she met a startup founder who showed her a simple tech tool for inventory and payments. They spoke for 10 minutes. She implemented the solution. 3 months later, her revenue doubled. What if your own next big move is just one conversation away? That’s part of what DTS Enugu 2025 is about. 🗓 July 25th. 📍 Cafe One, CCB Building, around P & T bus stop, Okpara Avenue, Enugu. 🎯 200+ startups, founders, tech experts, investors & institutions in the same room.

✈️ Enugu Takes Off! New Airline "Enugu Air" Begins Flights Today History is taking flight in the South-East as Enugu Air, the state’s very own airline, officially launches today, July 7, 2025. The inaugural flight takes off from Akanu Ibiam International Airport, marking a huge leap forward for regional transportation and economic development. Backed by the Enugu State Government in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Aviation, this bold move aims to improve air travel access for residents, boost tourism, and attract investment to the state. Governor Peter Mbah has been at the forefront of the initiative, describing it as part of his vision to make Enugu a commercial hub in Nigeria. He noted that the airline is not just about flying planes — it's about connecting people, businesses, and ideas. > “Enugu Air is a symbol of our ambition. We’re not just opening skies — we’re opening up opportunities,” the governor said at the flag-off ceremony. Local travelers and aviation enthusiasts have welcomed the move with excitement, saying it's long overdue for the South-East to have its own airline operating on a regional and eventually national scale. Enugu Air is expected to run commercial flights across Nigeria, with long-term plans for international routes. The airline will also focus on safety, affordability, and reliability, promising passengers a better travel experience. Why This Matters For years, residents in the region have depended heavily on airlines based in Lagos or Abuja. With Enugu Air now in the mix, travelers can expect more convenience, better pricing, and direct flights from the heart of the South-East. It's not just a win for Enugu — it’s a win for Nigeria.
