The agency in a statement made available on its official Twitter page, said face masks which include self-made or commercial masks or face covers made of clothes does not prevent spread of diseases but reduces chances.The statement in part reads: “Simple test: If wearer can put off a flame from a cigarette lighter that is placed in front of the wearer, the mask is protective enough.”
The agency warned that non-medical face masks made of cloth are not standardized for use in healthcare settings or by healthcare professionals.“The material of construction is usually cloth, non-woven wadding, or paper-like materials. For these Barrier Masks, 100% cotton is preferred though, polyester, linen or knit fabric can be used.

How many does you people provide NAFDAC?
NafdacAgency which one did you provide for Nigerians?
AkinloluOlalek2 please intensify awareness on this vigorously you
AbdussalamAdet1 Which one have you made available and affordable for people to purchase or free. So so talk no action.
What do you want from the people. You said China made face masks are contaminated, now you are rejecting the home made. Should the people use iron face masks?
how are we sure that the ones from China are not already infected,did the importers have NAFDAC certification in this lockdown
What has NafdacAgency done since this 4 months to ensure local cheap production of face mask? People can't afford the 1 face mask for N500
Is it an air born ?
But this isnt paracetamol and Eba matter ...if U aren't NCDC Meche onu!
They are stupid. Even fda approves of it. The virus is not air borne. It will therefore prevent your hand from entering your mouth or nose. They want to sell their Chinese imported mask at cut neck prices to citizens. They have failed. Americans use fabric mask go n fact check
Lie..Nafda, .what u don't know you don't know
De_Pelican EstherFarotimi you see
“Simple test: If wearer can put off a flame from a cigarette lighter that is placed in front of the wearer, the mask is protective enough.” Protective enough? Or he meant NOT protective enough?
Even the CDC supports the use of home made fabric masks...who be the NAFDAC official wey talk am?
Shot up there, criminals everywhere
And you think Nigerians can afford N300 daily face mask? Continue
NmajuAnyauba Ahhhhhhh. Na wa ooooo
So you've to provide enough medical face mask because is very scarce in every part of Nigeria.
Thank you. Where are the ones you made?
I would rather I wear one and someone who is affected wears one too than we both looking at each other without any mask on. Stop telling us what don't work and go and create the vaccine that works.
Let follow up asap follow back.
Over +1k people infected but nobody knows anybody that knows somebody that knows someone who knows someone that's infected. 9ja😁
Who taught NAFDAC this one.. plz stop this kind of stuff.
Tnx for letting us know but what other options have you provided? Lockdown with real enforcement or relax it and spread will
Why deliberately mislead the public
jidesanwoolu must read this.
No mind that Woman jare, if you listen to TVC yesterday she said 'come and register for face masks making' yeye people even oruko yin gan ro yin ma when remove the'Ade' mchewww, dey still wan use local face masks get money from poor citizens. This country is finished
Will you keep quite
So i guess for it to prevent covid-19 it has to be made with metallic materials.😁
NAFDAC speak for yourself!... Ndi ara!
Come to America and see most people wearing it. Y’all don’t make sense in Nigeria, your sense of judgement and discernment have been beclouded
We love it like that,mind your own business
They have seen that people are not buying their Chinese mask now they want to lie, I rather use this fake one than use the Chinese original one.... ChinaLiedPeopleDied
Non-medical masks producing tailors to NAFDAC:👇🏽
The headline is misleading. Kindly read the article. Journalism at its nadir, again.
GbemiDennis Let us think, non- medical mask made of clothes are less expensive than the medical ones and you expect us to buy the medical ones abi. Nonsense
GbemiDennis How much is medical mask and where can some get it at the trying time
GbemiDennis Only staying at home can prevent the virus.
ok
Seriously cloth face mask can't prevent d virus it's only prevent dust bacteria But d one wey dey mad me b say surgical face mask wey dey dey sell 2pcs NGN50 now 1pc NGN350 KILODE!! nd u say make we no do cloth face mask?una no gree give us nd Make una fear God ooo NafdacAgency
Let me put a stop to this conversation. Just get a diaper like size 2. Get two rubber bands, make the inside of the diaper be the outer part of ur facemask, then put ur bands on both end, and thank me later. U won't spend up to N100
I thought as much🙄
Unfortunately not everyone can afford 500 for a one time use mask...is it bad for nafdacnigeria to distribute face mask? Pls am OK with my Ankara mask joor!
Just passing
Fact!!
Leave it for us like dat
I previously asked this question to the local producers to show prescription standards specified in manufacturing these face masks. Because it has to stop 95% of particles below 0.3 microns in size, otherwise, it poses threats to us.
Someone should cc Ben Ayade!
😂
Nafdac please help us tell govt. to provide it and also the cash transaction palliative..
No sense in what you just tweeted.... I don’t blame you For that ,your oga at the top self no get sense.
Please tell us the function of a nose mask.
Na them sabi🤒
I told someone this yesterday and never believed me.
This is an idiotic comment by nafdac all countries try to reserve medical grade masks for healthcare workers and tell ppll to make theirs or use cotton ones. In naija we see govt officials in medical masks but no PPE for health workers
What do you expect people to use? N95 is not available affordable and accessible
I thought the face mask was just to prevent spread from infected to non infected and not to prevent COVID-19 itself Nawa for our government like this oooo😔😔😔😔
When did nafdac come out of hiding?
chukwuka_OJ
My client in Evansville Indiana, United state of America
What is the work of the face mask?
Right now, you people should be talking about how to procure the cure from Madagascar, but instead you keep going round in a circle. It's obvious that you people are actually enjoying this COVID-19 showdown at the detriment of the masses.
That can’t work why won’t I used face mask made by clothes .'?
Check out the facemask wore by governor sanwolu........ Frivolous talk frm Mumu agency
Go and tell that to the rest of the world where they are also doing the same. Na 'over Sabi' go kill you people. Giving advice on a matter you yourself don't understand. Every information you have on COVID-19 is imported. Intellectually lazy lot...
Mohdada
NAVDAC SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON CURE AND LEAVE MASK FOR DOCTORS
Marketers, they want to join the race... its this contract you collected, its non profit bcz no body will gree buy. They the virus has large cells diameter so that it cant pass through tiny spaces. This ancara have large spaces? Always want to bring confusion..
Concern una,relaxing of lockdown no mean say corona dey do break time
Why the back and forth? So how do we get the medicated one?
Am sure many Government officials, Governors and even people in NCDC are not aware of this .
Iro ni.
Show us the medical one.
There is so many complicated information about this mask 😷 of a thing... In fact, no mask 😷 any where in the world 🌍 is 💯 % guarantee to protect against virus bt d idea 💡 hweva, is just protect ur self anyway cos govt. won’t share mask 😷 n nt every1 can afford medical mask
When the necessary is not unavailable, the available becomes the necessary. There is no N95 mask affordable/available. Even the governor uses Ankara mask jidesanwoolu NafdacAgency Fmohnigeria NCDCgov
It's true. Please NAFDAC should educate NCDC on how to do their job
We like our homemade clothes face masks like that... Ooin!
Is it bad for nafdac to distribute facemask. Pls I'm okay with my ankara mask
Ambiguous statement from this agency... 'It prevents the carrier from spreading it...Period
Story
Why then did the CDC in US recommended using bandana as face mask? Do you claim to know better than they do?
Mrla99110225
Again oh
People are finding solution to there problem by producing face mask for there use when the government as fail to provide them the essential and you are complaining again
Do you actually know why people result into using the face mask made with clothing? And whose responsibility is it to provide the medical approved face mask?
The unseen medical nose mask abi.
And it's a bad idea if face mask could be distributed freely to each household by this same government.
