Recall,that the Prof Christianah Adeyeye leadership has avowed no change to the policy of outright Ban of Production and distributions of Alcoholic drinks in Pets glass bottles and Sachets below 200 mls in Nigeria.

weighed the negative impact the Ban menace would translate to
families,businesses and investment on infrastructures covering over 800
billions to go down the drains. Swift actions of this magnitudes are
mostly acknowledged by all and sundries by the green chambers of our
dear nation Nigeria.
