Caffeine in Nigeria: not individually verified

Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that Caffeine specifically is scheduled in Nigeria, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record
Not confirmed. The Nigeria dossier row for caffeine, checked on 20 September 2026, cites NAFDAC Act and food-product regulations and records that products containing «caffeine» fall under food or drug product regulation according to presentation. Only «caffeine» is in quotation marks; the rest of that sentence is the dossier's own description rather than the instrument's words, and the row names no section, regulation or schedule, so it cannot carry a confirmed answer. The dossier adds that the narcotics schedules it cites for Nigeria do not themselves list caffeine, and that claim is not accepted either, because the row names no edition of those schedules.

Confirm directly with Nigeria’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
