The Association of Raw Gin Producers of Nigeria says it has commenced a high-level internal regulatory process to sanitise the production of local alcoholic drinks.

The association, formally known as Nigeria Distillers Associates, said its activities were in line with Decree No. 54 of 1970 and the Control of Distillation and Spirit Drink Regulation Gazette No. 55, Volume 93 of 2006, all guiding the sales and distribution of raw gin, otherwise known as ogogoro.

In a statement on Wednesday, ARGPON noted that the purpose was to reorient distillers and dealers on the need to embrace best global practices and eliminate unwholesome acts among local distillers and dealers while developing the local industry.

These, it said, became imperative considering the effects unorthodox production and distribution are having on the general health of the consuming public.
