Acting director-general of NAFDAC, Monica Eimunjeze, gave the advice during a one-day media sensitisation workshop on “Dangers of Bleaching Creams and Regulatory Controls,” organised by NAFDAC for the Association of Nigerian Health Journalists, in Abuja.
She said, “There are many consequences such as kidney failure, liver damage from accumulation of toxic chemicals within the system, so we want people to be aware of this and try to modify their behavior.” Eimunjeze urged the media to take the front seat in the campaign against skin bleaching by providing Nigerians with the right information to make right decision about safeguarding their health.
She, however, said that some of these bleaching creams had gone through the regulatory process on the list of license items that are available in the record of the agency. “We see dangers inherent in using those creams products that are not in our regulatory process, so we are collaborating with health journalists to help us increase awareness on the products that have not gone through the regulatory process on the impact these could have on their health.
