The Supreme Court has scheduled April 10 for the delivery of its judgment in a case challenging the Food and Drug Authority's (FDA) directive that prohibits well-known individuals and professionals, including musicians, from advertising alcoholic beverages.

In 2016, the FDA implemented guidelines for food and beverage advertising, specifying that alcoholic beverage ads should not feature well-known personalities or professionals.

Mark Darlington Osae, the plaintiff and manager for musicians Reggie N Bollie, argues that the directive is discriminatory and violates the constitution.

He seeks an injunction against the FDA, interpreting articles 17(1) and 17(2) of the constitution as evidence of discrimination.

The case, filed in November 2022, is reaching its conclusion, with both parties submitting memoranda of issues for the Supreme Court's determination. The court has adjourned the case to April 10 for judgment.
