In response to the World Health Assembly 1988 call on countries to help in combating the global threat posed by fake drug products. The first governing board of NAFDAC was formed in December 1992.

Following the promulgation of the enabling Decree No 15 in January 1993, the agency was formally established on 1st January 1994 as a parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Health, taking over regulatory functions from the Department of Food and Drugs Administration.

Determined to solve Nigeria’s persistent fake drug problems motivated mainly by the huge profits to be made, the government restructured NAFDAC’s management and reorganized the agency in April 2001. 

With the inception of the “new NAFDAC” under the leadership of the hard working Professor Dora Nkem Akunyili as Director General, some achievements were reached causing a reduction to the problems.

Nafdac created 6 zonal and 36 well-equipped state offices for you to get information.
