The Executive Secretary of the Council, Ibrahim Garba-Muhammad, disclosed this during a courtesy visit to NAFDAC Kano office on Thursday.
According to him, the aim of the visit is to foster stronger inter-agency cooperation, and improve synergy in the discharge of the council’s mandate of safeguarding consumers’ rights and interests.
Garba-Muhammad said that effective collaboration between relevant regulatory agencies was essential to addressing the consumer-related challenges and ensure public safety.
