It said the executive secretary of the board, Tijjani Husain, represented by the director, Environmental and Public Health, Usman Rabiu, led the team that destroyed the expired products.
According to Mr Husain, the exercise was aimed at protecting public health against hazardous products, especially with the coming of Ramadan.
