The Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Mojisola Adeyeye, has said Nigeria’s over-reliance on imports and foreign products contributes more to the rising cost of medications nationwide.
She spoke on Tuesday at a webinar event organised by The Cable Newspaper as part of the activities to mark its 10th anniversary.
Mrs Adeyeye said the dependence on imported drugs, rather than locally manufactured drugs, is responsible for drug inflation and insecurity in the country.
