Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says cosmetics, food and beverages account for more than 50% of counterfeit products in the country. The agency made the disclosure in a recent statement, highlighting that counterfeit items are concentrated in these consumer categories. NAFDAC’s comment aligns across reporting outlets, with both describing the same proportion and product focus. The agencies’ broader aim is to curb the circulation of fake goods that can pose health and safety risks to consumers, particularly in markets where cosmetics and packaged food and drink products are widely sold. While the reports focus on the share of counterfeit products attributed to cosmetics, food and beverages, they do not provide detailed breakdowns by state, specific brands affected, or the number of enforcement actions or seizures carried out. Overall, the information presented centres on NAFDAC’s assessment of the composition of the counterfeit market in Nigeria and the prominence of these sectors within it.
