The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has officially launched the NAFDAC Green Book, a comprehensive repository of NAFDAC-registered drug products with 7,030 entries.

The book launch took place in Lagos at NAFDAC’s office with stakeholders, including representatives from the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria and the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria.

At the launch, the Director-General of NAFDAC, Professor MOJI ADEYEYE, emphasised the importance of transparency as a key aspect of NAFDAC’s identity and highlighted the agency’s commitment to safeguarding the well-being of Nigerians.

The Green Book, comparable to the United States of America FDA’s Orange Book, serves as a dynamic database that consolidates detailed data on registered products. 

The NAFDAC boss said the launch reflects shared commitment to building a robust and sustainable healthcare workforce framework for pharmaceutical oversight and ensuring that Nigerians have access to safe and effective medicines.
