D’Banj Visits NAFDAC

AWARD-winning ace musician, Mr. Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’Banj has visited the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in Lagos to lend support to the agency’s public enlightenment campaign against counterfeit drugs and other substandard regulated products in the country.
According to a statement made available by NAFDAC Director of Special Duties, Dr Abubakar Jimoh, D’banj, who was conducted round NAFDAC laboratories at Oshodi and Yaba strongly commended the agency for its relentless fight against counterfeit drugs and efforts to save the lives of millions of Nigerians.
D’banj explained that his tour of NAFDAC laboratories and the illuminating explanations offered by the regulatory officers on duty should be widely disseminated to millions of vibrant Nigerian youths who are ignorant about public health issues and regulatory activities.
“I am very impressed and inspired with what I have seen at NAFDAC laboratories and other offices. Before now, I found it difficult to distinguish a genuine drug from the counterfeit. We hear a lot of news about fake drugs. From what I have seen today, I am well informed. On behalf of Nigerian youths, I just have to commend NAFDAC for its good works,” he said.
Director-General of NAFDAC, Dr. Paul Orhii, who was highly elated, said D’banj’s visit was a morale booster and source of encouragement for the NAFDAC regulatory workers saddled with the mandate of safeguarding public health.
Orhii thanked the celebrated musician for his show of solidarity and readiness to strengthen NAFDAC’s public enlightenment campaign through his musical platform.
