Longe said that a stronger synergy with the agency would help boost the industrial growth currently experienced under the present administration, while also helping to build a healthy population.

Represented by the Director, Industrial Promotion, Engr Kehinde Akintomide, Mrs Longe lauded NAFDAC for its efforts thus far, calling on the agency not to rest on its oars as it regulated food and other consumables in line with its mandate.

In her address, the DG of NAFDAC, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, said the agency constructed the Abeokuta office and six other offices across the country to provide the enabling environment for its staff and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) so as to enhance service delivery, adding that NAFDAC had become a more customer-focused agency that put the interest of the country first.
