The House of Representatives on Tuesday moved to ban the importation and sale of caffeinated drinks, popularly known as ‘energy drinks’, in the country.
It directed its Joint Committee on Health/Commerce to investigate the importation and distribution of the drinks, following a motion sponsored by a member, Mr. Yacoob Bush-Alebiosu.
Bush-Alebiosu said the consumption of the drinks had “life-threatening effects on blood pressure, heart and brain function.”
I do really hope that our leaders are sincerely concerned about the health of Nigerians. Why? If you are not concerned about the employment of youth or their education then your so-called concern is questionable...So sellers of RedBull, Power Horse etc it looks like business is now bleak if this motion is passed into law.
