The Nigeria Tobacco Control Alliance (NTCA) has called on the National Assembly to immediately recall the National Tobacco Control Act (Amendment) Bill 2025 and subject it to a transparent, public health-led review before presenting it for presidential assent. It said the provision could expose young people to tobacco and nicotine advertising because publications and promotional materials can easily circulate beyond their intended audiences through websites and social media platforms. In his remarks, the Alliance Coordinator of the Nigerian Tobacco Control Alliance, Olawale Makanjuola, said the amendment would delete provisions imposing specific penalties for offences including selling tobacco products to minors, violating packaging requirements and non-compliant distribution. One of the major concerns raised by the coalition was the proposed relaxation of restrictions on advertising and promotion of non-combustible tobacco and nicotine products. The coalition called for a strong and product-neutral tobacco-control framework that would maintain restrictions on advertising, sponsorship, product sampling, retail display and remote sales of tobacco and nicotine products.
