The National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) clarified that recent reports of an immediate ban on alcohol advertising, online sales, and celebrity endorsements are inaccurate. These measures are currently only policy proposals, not legally binding restrictions.

• These measures are policy recommendations from the National Policy for the Prevention, Management and Control of Alcohol, Drugs, and Substance Abuse (2025), not immediate bans.
• Dr. Anthony Omerikwa, NACADA’s Chief Executive Officer, emphasized that no bans have been introduced.
• The policy aims to initiate legal and regulatory reviews, requiring a transparent legislative process with public participation before becoming legally binding.
