Mojisola Adeyeye, Director-General, National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration and Control says Nigerians should expect the establishment of more indigenous pharmaceutical companies.Adeyeye told the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday that God had endowed Nigeria with abundant resources.“One thing that will come out of COVID-19 is that companies will start manufacturing pharmaceutical ingredients. Let us start something instead of importing everything; let us invest in our country.
“I am confident of that because God gave us brains. We go out of this country and most of us in the diaspora become stars in different fields. If the government does not focus on education and prioritize research and development, we may not achieve drug security.”Admitting that some reasons given by the unions were genuine, Adeyeye stressed that industrial actions would not solve the problems.
“I was a professor for 30 years, in the USA where I worked, it is strange to be on strike.”, she recalled.“If we want to get there, we have to change our ways”, Adeyey said.
