President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Professor Moji Christianah Adeyeye, wife of Senator Olusola Adeyeye (Osun Central) as the new Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC.
The new NAFDAC Director-General is the founder of Drugs for AIDS and HIV Patients, a nonprofit organization committed to prevention, education, care and treatment of HIV/AIDS children in Nigeria. She is the Chief Executive Officer of Elim Pediatric Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Adeyeye is a Professor of Pharmaceutics, Manufacturing Science and Drug Product Evaluation, College of Pharmacy, Roosevelt University, Schaumburg, IL and Chair, Department of Biopharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy, Roosevelt University, Schaumburg, IL. The new NAFDAC boss attended the University of Nigeria, obtaining a BSc in pharmaceutics in 1976, and went on to the University of Georgia where she obtained an M.S and a Ph.D. in pharmaceutics in 1985 and 1988.
Adeyeye succeeds Mrs. Yetunde Oni, who attained the retirement age of 60 years in September and also served in the acting capacity for 18 months following the sack of Dr. Paul Orhii.
May she be as productive & fearless s the late Dora Akunyili who stepped on many toes to cleanse Nigeria of fake, expired & bad drugs. Amen
ReplyDeleteExcept that Akuyili of blessed memory was not appointed for "political patronage". She wasn't wife of a PDP senator or governor when she was appointed.
DeleteWell said Anonymous 13:57
Delete13:57... Buhari recommended Dora for the position. She said so herself. This lady more than qualified
DeleteMy mind too
DeleteThe woman is qualified yes, but this is just favoritism, when would we have young people in these positions, haba at 60 some people's memory begin to fail them. Congrats mama
DeleteShe is qualified on the paper but can she perform or will those mobsters allow her to perform her job? One thing is to be qualified another is to do what is required of you. Time will tell
DeleteShe has the qualification for the position but is she ready to face those Mafias
Delete@15:54
DeleteThat's exactly what the anonymous was saying. That Buhari, an "opposition politician" was allowed by his rival to appoint a NAFDAC director in the person of Akunyili. Can Buhari do same; allow opposition politician to appoint a person of integrity?
Politics without tolerance is dictatorship.
Congratulations Madam. Your CV guild s very Rich!
ReplyDeleteSure she is and so does a lot of them like Sanusi as Central bank Gov and Ibe Kachikwu of NNPC. Some powers be will chew them and throw them out if their interests is being threatened.Nigeria is a Very difficult country for well qualifed people to do what is required of them without stepping on those high powers
DeleteCongrats to her
ReplyDeleteShe is well read
ReplyDeleteThis is a good one. Hope she is ready to deal with those selling fake drugs and cosmetics without fear. It will take lots of courage to do this, that trade fair in Lagos need to be focus on before they finish what is left of Nigeria.
DeleteI doubt if this well qualified woman is ready to take on those bastard Mafias
DeleteCongratulations Ma'am, a successful and scandal free tenure I pray 🙏
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Doesn't matter who you are, it's your time.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to her. Pray she performs well. Dr Paul orhiu was a huge disappointment. Sharp contrast to dora
ReplyDeleteCan never be like my Dora..... 😓 they keep trying to replace her but they can't.
ReplyDeleteSenator's wife? Gosh....
Wait Paul Orhii was sacked?
ReplyDeleteWhich rock was I living under????
Last time I saw him I think online, he was still with NAFDAC giving Chike Ike a tour of the facilities.
