Nigeria’s labour unions and distillers are protesting the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) ban on sachet and small‑volume alcoholic beverages, warning the Federal Government of potential mass job losses in the beverage and packaging value chain. Health-sector stakeholders, including the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN), are defending the ban as necessary to protect public health and children, sharpening a policy clash between employment concerns and health regulation. The dispute raises the risk of industrial unrest and regulatory uncertainty for Nigeria’s alcohol and packaging industries.
