Ibrahim said that there was need to monitor the activities of such persons who package unhealthy table water and endangering public health. He said that the practice was a public health concern that could cause waterborne diseases and other health issues. The coordinator urged the state chapter of the Association of Table Water Producers to adhere strictly to the agency’s guidelines or be ready to face sanctions. He warned that NAFDAC would not compromise its mandate of safeguarding public health by allowing persons with sinister motives to risk the lives of citizens. Ibrahim called on members of the public to report to the agency, or security agencies, any suspected unregistered and un-certified package water producers near them for prompt action.
