The Federal government, through its agency, National Agency for Food and Drug Administrative and Control NAFDAC have begin a mop up operational campaign against the sale of sachet and pets alcohol in the country since July, both the illegal sale and importation of sachet and mini pet alcohol is now against the law in Nigeria, NAFDAC have been closing shops and other outlet that operate in selling of sachets alcohol across the country.

I begin to wonder if the main target should be the outlets, retails and other street hawkers should be their first target or do manufacturers and other importation vendors that supply some of these drinks to the market, also, are they insinuating that they are making alcohol unaffordable by the average Nigerians or their only considerate about the health implication on taking alcoholic, how sure are we even the advanced bigger bottles of alcohols don't have more health complicated issue than the sachet ones they are fighting against, how could it be that they want alcohol to be only accessible and affordable to the rich and living the poor behind.

The ban has started in since 2024 but NAFDAC has started  it registering sachets alcohol since 2022, they finally decided to bann it in 2024. What they are doing now will be they are enforcing it because people continue to sell sachets alcohol.

These are the reasons NAFDAC banned sachets alcohol:

Why we banned sachet alcohol – NAFDAC

It it mostly about children affordable to buy sachets alcohol.

Thank you for bringing out the major highlights and clarifying the actual fact behind all this, children are expecting not to have access to buying sachets alcohol and that is why I will also join in support against the selling, however, there are also scenarios in which you will discover some children below 18 years old having money in their disposal to afford buying expensive alcohol at the same time, I think where the limit should start is by ensuring they enforces bars and other alcohol outlets and vendors to avoid underage purchase of this drinks.

Alcohol has no health benefit, so even bottle alcohol like hero, 33, heineken, empire brandy, and la'villa whisky aren't good for the body as it can cause fatty liver. Even as NAFDAC has started banning sachets alcohol, you shouldn't go and drink bottles alcohol thinking it's safe because you will be slowly killing yourself. Fatty liver is a silent killer before the symptom could show in your body it might be too late, the best step to take in order not to hurt your liver is to minimise how you take alcohol be it sachet or bottle alcohol or if possible just stop taking alcohol.

My question is that why only this sachet of alcohol?, there are other things in the country they should have joined with this alcohol to banned because lately now I have been hearing different names of drugs people are taking and is making them to almost go crazy so actually those are the things I was thinking they would banned first because there effect is more dangerous than this sachet they're talking about but however they knows better why they have decided to take this step but they shouldn't only be against this retailers but they should also trace the source and take the same action on them.

Its completely wrong saying alcohol has no health benefit to humans if properly consumed. Its clear that too much of everything including alcohol is bad but not that proper consumption is also bad, all we should talk about is how its excessive consumption can be controlled and not banned it completely. As for its health benefits,  even if not told you should have known that its is very much needed in humans.

To me the problem of Nigeria today has gone beyond putting more effort in irrelevant things like this, all we should be interested at is how to build a better Nigeria and not increasing the problem we already have in the country, for now Nigeria is in a complete mess and requires restructuring before there will be Nigeria.
