NAFDAC DG Mojisola Adeyeye bursts into laughter over call for her resignation, Nigerians react

The Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, Mojisola Adeyeye, has sparked reactions after she burst into laughter when a journalist told her that some Nigerians were calling for her resignation.

The journalist raised the issue while questioning Adeyeye about concerns over the circulation of fake and substandard products in the country.

According to the journalist, some Nigerians believe the situation has become serious enough to warrant her resignation as NAFDAC Director-General.

Adeyeye, however, responded by laughing hysterically at the remark, a reaction that has since generated mixed reactions among Nigerians on social media.

The development comes amid continued concerns over the availability of counterfeit, adulterated and unregistered products in the Nigerian market.

NAFDAC, under Adeyeye’s leadership, has continued to carry out enforcement operations and public awareness campaigns aimed at curbing the circulation of fake and substandard products.

However, the agency has faced criticism from some members of the public over the effectiveness of its efforts, particularly in preventing dangerous products from reaching consumers.

Adeyeye’s laughter in response to the call for her resignation has now become a talking point, with some Nigerians questioning the appropriateness of her reaction given the seriousness of the concerns raised.
