The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has appointed an interim director general in Moji Adeyeye’s place after her term as director general expired.
Directors of several units and departments were informed of Monica Eimunjeze’s appointment as the interim director-general in a leaked internal document signed by the organization’s Director of Human Resources Management, Oboli A.U, and dated November 17.
The memo, with reference number NAFDAC/ADM/SM/075, has as its subject: “Appointment of Acting Director General NAFDAC.”
It reads in part: “The management is in receipt of a letter appointing Dr Monica Eimunjeze as the Acting Director General NAFDAC with effect from 12th November, 2022.
“I am therefore directed to bring this development to you for information and guidance.”
Mrs Adeyeye, a professor, who was appointed in 2017, ended her renewable first term of office on 2 November. It is, however, not clear why the announcement of her replacement was delayed and whether her tenure will be renewed.
