NAFDAC says Emzor failed to cooperate and refused to provide needed documents during inspection; that is enough grounds to shut them down. It's common sense.
Those saying they are not culpable to how their products are distributed, are you serious?

Why do you people like to cry more than the bereaved all the time? ..Did Emzor told you that their whole company has been shut down? ..why don't you first make a research before hopping to tweet just because it's trending?

NAFDAC has shut down Emzor, Peace Standard & Bioraj Pharmaceuticals. Not just their codeine production lines. ALL production lines - so vitamins, antibiotic, anti-malarial, analgesics, anti-inflammatory are all shut down in a bid to stop codeine production.
We are not normal

It is NAFDAC that should be shut down, not Emzor pharmaceutical. NAFDAC claim they didn't know about codeine abuse, then they've failed in their regulatory duty and if they claim they knew, then they are COMPLICIT in the abuse. In fact it is THEIR fault.

I am struggling to understand why Emzor and the other companies were shut down.
Forget codeine, they produce antibiotics, analgesics, malaria drugs etc which are key to keeping our healths in good shape. But let's cut down the whole tree because of a broken branch.

All these ones they're doing, if people still want to buy codeine, the black market is there. They're just making people rich. It's also possible the people who shut Emzor down & banned codeine are the ones controlling the black market. Welcome to Nigeria.

Same NAFDAC that claimed they didn't know abt codeine abuse, now shut down Emzor Pharmaceutical & d likes - after failing in their regulatory duties.
Govt hospitals are on strike, Why not tighten ur regulatory force to reduce this mayhem instead of the shutdown.

@NafdacAgency we hear that your agency has shut down all production lines of major pharmaceutical companies, such as Emzor. If this is true, I hope you realise that this is Nigeria - 51m cases of malaria and ~200k deaths annually. Basically, we need all the medicines we can get.

Nigeria is a big joke pls when would the Govt shut down Breweries for Alcohol addiction cos they just shut down Emzor for Codeine. #Neveragain

Once upon a time in Nigeria, there lived a Pharmacist & an entrepreneur called Stella Chinyelu Okoli, she founded a lucrative company named Emzor Pharmaceutical & employed thousands of Nigerians. One day, the government shut down her company. That's the end of my story.
