The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in Nigeria is facing calls for structural reform alongside allegations of corruption. Proponents of reform, including Oluseye Olofin, have appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to restructure the agency so it prioritizes its public health mandate over revenue generation.

In response to allegations of bribery and extortion involving contractors, NAFDAC Director General Adeyeye has denied wrongdoing. While facing calls for her resignation, Adeyeye has maintained her commitment to eliminating corruption and improving the agency’s integrity, challenging accusers to provide evidence of misconduct.
