Kazeem Adeniran, NAFDAC assistant chief regulation officer, investigation and enforcement, announced the development on Monday at a two-day enforcement exercise in Ota, Ogun state.
Adeniran said the ban is in line with the agreement reached by a tripartite committee set up in 2018 by the federal ministry of health.
He said part of the 2018 agreement was that distillers, under the Distillers and Blenders Association of Nigeria (DIBAN), would stop the production of alcohol in sachets and pet bottles of less than 200ml with effect from January 31, 2024.
