The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has embarked on a 3-day re-orientation and training programme.
The programme according to a statement issued by the agency cuts 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.
