In a recent tweet on his verified Twitter account, Sani voiced concern about the apparent public apathy towards warnings issued by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) concerning bread safety.
Sani tweeted, “NAFDAC is seriously raising alarm on Bread and people are just ignoring, why?” His statement comes at a time when bread, a staple food for many Nigerians, has seen significant price hikes due to the economic pressures stemming from the fuel subsidy removal.
NAFDAC, the regulatory body responsible for ensuring the safety and quality of food and drugs in Nigeria, has reportedly raised concerns over the safety standards of bread being produced and sold across the country. However, despite these warnings, there seems to be a lack of public response or outcry.

The former senator’s tweet emphasizes the broader issue of public apathy towards critical health and safety warnings, especially in times of economic hardship. With many Nigerians struggling to make ends meet, the focus has shifted primarily towards survival, often at the expense of health and safety concerns.
Sani’s statement is a call to action, urging Nigerians not to ignore the warnings from NAFDAC. The potential risks associated with consuming substandard bread could further compound the challenges facing citizens already burdened by rising costs of essential goods.
