FG appoints new acting DG for NAFDAC

The Federal Government on Thursday approved the appointment of Mr. Ademola Andrew Magbojuri as the new Acting Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
Magbojuri takes over from Mrs. Yetunde Oni, who attained the retirement age of 60 years last week.
Oni served in acting capacity for 18 months following the sacking of Dr. Paul Orhii who was the last NAFDAC’s substantive DG.
Magbojuri, who is the most senior director in NAFDAC, until this appointment, was in charge of the agency’s Training and Research Institute in Kaduna.
The new DG also served as Director of Finance and Accounts before he was redeployed to the agency’s Planning, Research and Statistics unit.
It would be recalled that staff agency has been on strike since last week demanding for the appointment of substantive DG.
