Nigeria: FAIRS Annual Country Report

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NI2023-0004

As the global food and agricultural trade continues to integrate, Nigeria has formulated structures, strategies, laws, and food control systems, including regulatory authorities, to enhance public health, food safety, and international trade. The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) plays a crucial role in promoting science-based food standards. The international accreditation of the agency’s two major laboratories in recent years has reasonably boosted its capacity to enforce Nigeria’s food safety regulations. In November 2022, Nigeria submitted 2 notifications aimed at enhancing the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA).
