NAFDAC REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR BUSINESS

 

DANISJOGA BUSINESS SUCCESS SERIES — CHAPTER 16

SELLING FOOD, DRUGS OR COSMETICS? DON'T IGNORE NAFDAC

Imagine developing a product, spending money on packaging, marketing and distribution—and only later discovering that your product falls within a regulated category.

This is why entrepreneurs involved in products regulated by NAFDAC need to understand the applicable requirements before putting products on the Nigerian market.

NAFDAC regulates and controls relevant products including areas such as:

💊 Drugs
🍎 Food
🧴 Cosmetics
🧪 Medical devices
and other regulated products.

Before launching a regulated product, ask:

1️⃣ Is my product regulated by NAFDAC?

2️⃣ What requirements apply to my specific product?

3️⃣ What documentation is required?

4️⃣ What manufacturing or facility requirements apply?

5️⃣ What labelling requirements apply?

6️⃣ Does the product require registration or other regulatory approval before marketing?

💡 BUSINESS LESSON

Don't develop the product first and investigate the regulatory requirements later.

For regulated products, compliance should be considered before major investment in production, packaging and marketing.

IMPORTANT

Requirements can differ depending on the type of product, so entrepreneurs should confirm the current requirements applicable to their specific product directly with NAFDAC.
