Built on a Mission
to Heal Nigeria.
Fahrenheit Pharmaceuticals Nigeria Limited was founded with one conviction: that Nigeria must manufacture its own essential medical consumables. We started with syringes — and we are just getting started.
Ending Nigeria's Dependence on Imported Medical Consumables
Nigeria imports over 70% of its medical consumables — a vulnerability exposed by every global supply chain disruption. Fahrenheit Pharmaceuticals exists to change that. By manufacturing 2ml, 5ml, and 10ml 3-part syringes and needles at industrial scale from our Zaria facility, we are building the foundation of a self-sufficient Nigerian healthcare system. Our pharmaceutical complex is designed to produce up to 33 different medical device and consumable products, with laboratory-grade diagnostic consumables and additional product lines forming part of our future expansion plan.
"To become West Africa's leading indigenous manufacturer of essential medical consumables — supplying every hospital, clinic, and health post from Lagos to Dakar."
Every syringe leaving our facility is manufactured to exact tolerances. Precision is not optional in healthcare.
NAFDAC compliance is our floor, not our ceiling. We hold ourselves to international quality benchmarks.
Nigeria needs 135 million syringes a year. We are building the capacity to meet that need domestically.
From Kaduna to Calabar, from Kano to Lagos — our distribution network ensures no facility goes without.
From Dormant Plant to National Asset
The Zaria Pharmaceuticals facility in Kaduna State was once a symbol of Nigeria's industrial ambition — and then, like many state-owned enterprises, it fell dormant. Fahrenheit Pharmaceuticals acquired the facility from the Kaduna State Government and undertook a comprehensive revitalization: new production lines, modern quality control laboratories, upgraded utilities, and a trained workforce.
Kaduna State Handover
Fahrenheit Pharmaceuticals acquires the Zaria Pharmaceuticals facility from the Kaduna State Government, inheriting decades of industrial infrastructure.
Comprehensive Modernization
Full overhaul of production lines, installation of modern syringe manufacturing equipment, quality control laboratory upgrades, and workforce training.
NAFDAC Registration
2.5ml and 5ml syringes and needles receive NAFDAC registration, clearing the path for nationwide distribution to hospitals and health agencies.
Full-Scale Production
The Zaria facility reaches operational capacity — producing syringes and needles for Nigeria's healthcare system and beginning West Africa distribution.
Zaria, Kaduna State
Certified to World Standards.
Every syringe and needle manufactured at the Zaria facility is produced under a rigorous quality management framework aligned with international regulatory requirements. Our certifications span product safety, sterility assurance, manufacturing practice, and export compliance.
Medical Devices Quality Management System
Our quality management system is structured to meet ISO 13485 requirements — the international standard for medical device manufacturers covering design, production, installation, and servicing of medical devices.
Sterilization by Ethylene Oxide (EO)
Syringes and needles undergo validated EO sterilization cycles in accordance with ISO 11135, ensuring a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶ — the international benchmark for sterile single-use medical devices.
Packaging for Terminally Sterilized Devices
Sterile barrier packaging is validated per ISO 11607, maintaining product sterility from point of manufacture through to point of use — critical for single-use syringes distributed across Nigeria and West Africa.
WHO Good Manufacturing Practice
Manufacturing operations comply with WHO Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines for medical devices, covering facility design, personnel, documentation, production controls, and quality assurance systems.
Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices
All materials in contact with patients — including syringe barrels, plungers, and needle hubs — are evaluated for biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993, ensuring safety for clinical use.
National Agency for Food & Drug Administration
All products are registered with NAFDAC — Nigeria's primary regulatory authority for medical devices — meeting the mandatory requirements for manufacture, importation, exportation, advertisement, distribution, and sale.
Sharps Injury Protection — Single-Use Hypodermic Needles
Our needle products are designed and tested in alignment with ISO 23908, the standard for sharps protection features on single-use hypodermic needles, syringes, and introducers — protecting healthcare workers from needlestick injuries.
Sterile Hypodermic Syringes for Single Use
Product design and performance testing of our 2.5ml and 5ml syringes aligns with EN ISO 7886, the international standard specifying requirements for sterile single-use hypodermic syringes including dimensions, performance, and labelling.
Sterility Assurance at Every Stage
Syringe assembly takes place in controlled clean room environments with continuous particulate monitoring, temperature and humidity control, and gowning protocols aligned with ISO 14644 classification requirements.
Each sterilization batch is validated with biological indicators (Bacillus atrophaeus) and chemical indicators, with full cycle documentation and parametric release protocols ensuring SAL 10⁻⁶.
Packaging seal integrity is tested using dye penetration and bubble emission methods per ISO 11607, with accelerated aging studies validating shelf life claims for all product lines.
Every batch is subject to full quality review before release, with complete traceability from raw material lot to finished product — enabling rapid field action if required.
