In a decisive move to retain its position as one of the Top Ten Regulatory
Agencies in the world, the National Agency for Food and Drug
Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has embarked on 3-day Re-
Orientation and Training Programme across the Six Geo-Political Zones in
the Country.
Acting Director – General of NAFDAC, Mrs. Yetunde Oni who flagged
off the re-orientation programme said the key objective was to “re-align
and re-orientate staff on transparency, accountability, dedication to duty
and efficient service delivery”.
Mrs. Oni explained that the programme was undertaken to “re-orientate
staff towards these core values in the bid to reposition NAFDAC”. She
stated that when the current management took over in February this year,
“we promised to be decisive, firm, courageous, bold, accountable and
transparent in running the affairs of the Agency”.
According to her, no reform process will be credible or sustainable without
demonstrable service delivery as this is the key objective of current reform
exercise at NAFDAC.
The Acting Director-General appealed to all Regulatory Officers at the Re-
orientation Workshop to imbibe the culture of hardwork, honesty and
efficient service delivery so that they can be part of the change agenda of
Mohammadu Buhari administration.
The 3-day Orientation and Training Programme featured Paper
Presentations on all Regulatory activities of NAFDAC such as Standard
Operating Procedure for Inspections, Requirements and Processes for
Products Registration, Investigation and Enforcement, Work Ethics and
Communication within Public Service and Public Relations as tool of
Effective Regulation.
