NAFDAC COMMENDS TINUBU FOR SIGNING EXECUTIVE ORDER TO TRANSFORM HEALTH SECTOR
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has commended President Bola Tinubu for recently signing an Executive Order to transform the country’s health sector.
In a statement in Abuja, the Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye stated that the reform and transformation agenda to make NAFDAC a well-functioning, strong and stable regulatory organisation started when she assumed office six years ago.
She added that the effort she put into transforming NAFDAC has started paying off, part of which she said paved the way to the signing of the Executive Order to make Nigeria manufacture its own drugs.
The Executive Order, according to her includes several measures such as Zero Tariff and Excise Duties which exempts specified pharmaceutical machinery, equipment, goods and accessories, as well as reduce production costs and make healthcare products affordable.
