NAFDAC is presently forcing pure water owners to join a non governmental association called ATWAP, an association responsible for raising the price of a sacchet of pure water from N5 to N10. If any pure water factory refuses to join, NAFDAC will refuse to renew the NAFDAC Registration number of such pure water factory. The owner will be asked to present a letter of recommendation from the association called ATWAP before renewal of number. This is against the Nigerian Constitution which gives individuals or groups the right to join or not to join an association.
Presently NAFDAC is carrying out a national wide scam which compels pure water owners to pay a sum of between N20,000 to N25,000 for data capture which should have been done during the acquisition of NAFDAC registration number. NAFDAC has made it clear that the receipt for the data capture payment and ATWAP recommendation letter will be needed before a registration number can be renewed. The relevant authorities should save us from this scam. The attention of the Senate, EFCC, ICPC & the Civil defense should be drawn to this. Please save us from the unholy pact between NAFDAC and ATWAP.
