The professionalism and commitment that Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye brought in as the Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control appear to have further endeared her to President Muhammadu Buhari as he has reappointed her.
Adeyeye is said to have worked tirelessly to sanitise the system while also building infrastructure and structure long pending.
In a tweet on Friday, NAFDAC said: “Prof. Mojisola Christianah Adeyeye has been reappointed as the @DGatNAFDAC for the second and final tenure of five years. She stopped by briefly at the corporate headquarters in Abuja to meet with some Directors.”
Also, a senior staff in the agency, who craved anonymity, confirmed the development to our correspondent.
The staff said Adeyeye was reappointed as the DG of NAFDAC with effect from December 1, 2022.

Following the expiration of the first tenure of Adeyeye as the DG, the Director of Drug Registration and Regulatory Affairs Directorate of NAFDAC, Dr. Monica Eimunjeze, took over as the Acting DG of the Agency on November 12, 2022.
