The Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) has commended President Muhammadu Buhari on the appointment of substantive Director-General/CEO of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
Buhari had approved the appointment of Prof. (Mrs.) Moji Christianah Adeyeye, a Professor of Pharmaceutics and Drug Product Development and Evaluation at the College of Pharmacy, Roosevelt University in Schaumburg, Illinois.
President of PSN, Pharm. Ahmed Yakasai in a statement in Lagos on Wednesday said the appointment “is also in the spirit of repeated assurances by the Federal Government in the light of the demands of the PSN that previous lapses in the appointment of the Director General of NAFDAC be redressed once and for all”.
“Today registered Pharmacists under the aegis of the pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) have resolved to maximally support NAFDAC to achieve its safety margin in the regulation of the Food and Drug Sector of the economy”, he said.
Yakasai appealed to the Federal Government to go all the way by constituting the governing council of NAFDAC and Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) to enable these two prime regulatory agencies in drug distribution endeavours to meet the full complement of their statutory mandates”.
The PSN assured all stakeholders and the Federal Government that it will continue to ensure that the “appointment of our members as Chief Executive Officers of various boards of parastatals will be justified through optimal performance output”.
