The Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, rejects calls for her resignation and says she returned to Nigeria to serve rather than to enrich herself. She says she is motivated by a desire to help restore the agency’s and the country’s reputation.
According to the reports, Adeyeye made the remarks in Abuja while responding to public criticism. Both outlets describe her statements as a rebuttal to demands that she step aside, framing her return from the United States as part of a broader national service commitment.
While the two sources closely align on the core message, they differ slightly on timeline details. One report cites 34 years in the United States, while another cites 37 years. The outlets otherwise present the same central theme: Adeyeye says she came back after retirement from her time abroad to improve drug and food regulatory oversight and address perceived reputational damage.
