CHAPTER
ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
In our contemporary
world, the role of sectorial control cannot be over emphasized it has become a
worldwide practice to find government agencies, paratatal or other well
constituted authorities charged with responsibilities of monitoring and
controlling a particular compartment of business or economic life. These forms
of control is expedient for the smooth
running of the sector while maintaining acceptable quality and standard.
In our economy where
dubious character people have infiltrated the sector for production of foods
and drugs for the mere purpose or aim of making money to enrich their self and
their selfish interest, the establishment of a body for the regulation and
control of this sector has become a very desirable thing. The operations of the
National Agency for Food and Drugs Administrations and Control (NAFDAC) are
hinged on the general principle of control.
In the face of robust
control function placed on NAFDAC by the act, we still find in recent time
issue of violation of food and drugs production standard fake drugs importation
and sales still exist here and there.
This brings to question the level of performance of the organization and
its impact on the economy, this study is sparked off bridge the knowledge gap
created by the unavailability of unbiased empirical study on the impact of
NAFDAC based on the principles of controllability.
1.2
STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
Through the past two
decades in Nigeria the problem of fake, counterfeit and adulated drugs has been
a very big issue. In addition fake drugs proved a major factor in contributing
to high death rate “over 150 children died in 1989 as a result of a formulation
error in a drug” such problems led to establishment of NAFDAC which would help,
create a fake drug free environment. With this, there would be secure,
effective, inexpensive, and good quality medicines. This incident of fake drug
was so chaotic that “neighboring countries such as Ghana and Sierra Leone
officially banned the sale of drugs made in Nigeria. The issue of fake drug did
not just stop there, but it went to the extent that “drugs were hawked even in
commercial buses” all these problems affected Nigeria as a whole. There are
however no empirical evidence on the relationship between fake drugs and the
Nigeria economy hence this study.

SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
Considering the
agonizing issue or situation was faced by health organization, significant of
this study cannot be over stressed. We have earlier stated in our overview and
the study of the lack of in-depth, unbiased empirical study on the population
health of our country, Nigeria government through the decade, have problem of
fake, counterfeit and adulterated drugs, the unavailability of such study as we
have stated earlier, has resulted to knowledge gap, when we say so is due to
publication of magazine newspaper and journal are not been seen by the
population, these gap required to be bridged, this study is justified in that
it will bridge the existing knowledge gap, it shall directly contribute to
stock of existing knowledge, as it will serve as reference point for related
studies, from contributing stock of existing knowledge, it shall also be
beneficial to students, researcher NAFDAC officials and population of Nigeria.
It shall also undoubtedly serve as an update to any researcher work related to
it as such may have lost validity in the passage of time.

of questionnaire and submission of questionnaire
iv.
The secondary Data have to do with

study to be quite successful or result oriented, the research need not to rely
on chance. A careful plan of study has to be worked out and followed rigidly.
The study of impact of NAFDAC on the Nigerian Economy was geared towards
controlling and development of the health condition of the nation, plans
presented below and were in chapters as follows.
