MAN’s Director-General, Segun Ajayi-Kadir, raised the concern during an interview on Arise Television on Thursday, arguing that an outright ban on sachet alcohol represents a blunt regulatory approach that risks harming legitimate businesses and low-income consumers. He stressed that sachet packaging is a widely accepted business model used across several consumer goods sectors to make products affordable and accessible. “Sachet production is a business model that has been used and is still being used in many products,” he said. He added that global best practices in tackling underage drinking focus on access control and enforcement, rather than outright bans. “All over the world, there are concerns about alcohol consumption by children, and the solution identified is restriction of access,” he said.
