Mojisola Adeyeye, the Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has declared that she will not be intimidated by death threats.
Adeyeye, who has been at the forefront of ensuring the safety and regulation of food, drugs, and other consumables in Nigeria, stated that her commitment to public health and safety remains unwavering.
She emphasized that the fight against counterfeit and substandard products is a critical mission that she will not abandon, regardless of the risks.
Speaking to news men in Abuja on Sunday the Director General had this to say: “I was in the US for 37 years. I came back home for service. I could have been there, comfortable. And I tell people I came here as a missionary
“If missionaries could leave their comfort zones where they were born and live with us in Nigeria, I do not have an excuse to come back home.
“Coming back home is not easy; it’s a sacrifice. I have grandchildren, I have children that I don’t see. So, fear is not part of my daily dictionary.
“My coming back is to serve, but that doesn’t mean I don’t use my common sense. I use a lot of common sense, but it’s not just me alone; it’s also about my workers.
“I was not the one that was beaten and bleeding in Onitsha six months ago because they (NAFDAC workers) were on an inspection operation.
“There is one of our workers. One day, I just looked at her arm and asked: What happened? She said they went on an inspection and she almost lost her life.”
