flag Nigeria's 2026 sachet alcohol ban sparks backlash over job losses and economic harm despite health and environmental aims.

flag Nigeria’s 2026 ban on sachet alcohol, enforced by NAFDAC, faces pushback from manufacturers and unions citing job losses, economic harm, and conflicting government directives. flag While the ban aims to reduce health risks linked to low-cost, small-packaged alcohol and curb counterfeit products, critics argue it undermines economic stability and lacks evidence of youth consumption. flag Some officials urge targeted measures against littering instead of a full ban, calling for balanced policies that address public health and environmental concerns without harming livelihoods.
