The Kano State Consumer Protection Council (KSCPC) says it will partner with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to enhance consumer protection in the state.

The Executive Secretary of the Council, Ibrahim Garba-Muhammad, disclosed this during a courtesy visit to NAFDAC Kano office on Thursday.

According to him, the aim of the visit is to foster stronger inter-agency cooperation, and improve synergy in the discharge of the council’s mandate of safeguarding consumers’ rights and interests.

Garba-Muhammad said that effective collaboration between relevant regulatory agencies was essential to addressing the consumer-related challenges and ensure public safety.

Earlier, the State Coordinator of NAFDAC, Mr Kassim Ibrahim, expressed the agency’s readiness to work closely with the council in areas of mutual interest.
