This was contained in a statement by the board’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Maikudi Marafa, on Monday.
It said the Executive Secretary of the Board, Dr. Tijjani Husain, represented by the Director, Environmental And Public Health, Alhaji Usman Rabiu, led the team that destroyed the expired products.
According to Husain, the exercise was aimed at protecting public health against hazardous products, especially with the coming of Ramadan.
