At a two-day workshop in Gombe, healthcare stakeholders learned how these innovations help authenticate medicines, ensuring only safe, NAFDAC-approved drugs reach consumers.


NAFDAC’s Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, emphasized that all registered drugs are safe and available only through licensed vendors. 


The Green Book App acts as a digital registry, allowing users to instantly verify a drug’s authenticity—unlisted products are fake.
