NAFDAC Registration (Guide)
End-to-end guidance through NAFDAC product listing and registration requirements.
Quick overview
NAFDAC registration is a mandatory approval for food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, and related products before they can be legally manufactured, imported, or sold in Nigeria.
Manufacturers, importers, and distributors of NAFDAC-regulated products, from packaged foods to skincare and pharmaceuticals.
Selling regulated products without NAFDAC approval is illegal and exposes your business to seizure, fines, and reputational damage.
Apply well before your planned launch date, as facility inspections and product testing can add significant lead time.
