The Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, has lamented the agency’s manpower shortage.
She said the agency is grossly understaffed to effectively regulate products consumed by over 240 million Nigerians.
Adeyeye, during an interview on Channels Television on Thursday, said NAFDAC currently operates with about 2,000 workers, a situation she described as inadequate compared with the country’s population.
She said a comparable country such as Indonesia, with a population of about 280 million people, has about 20,000 regulatory staff.
