When it comes to death threats, Mojisola Adeyeye, director-general of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), says she is not scared.
During the weekend, Adeyeye briefed media in Abuja, according to The Nation.
She claimed that the death threats came after the agency dismantled significant networks of phony drug distributors in Onitsha, Yaba, Idumota, and Kano.
She returned to Nigeria to serve her people after more than 30 years in the United States, the director-general stated.

She stated that the agency would remain steadfast in its dedication to safeguarding public health despite the risks.
For 37 years, I lived in the United States. I returned home for the service. I would have been at home there. And I tell folks that I’m a missionary here,” she added.
“There is no need for me to return home if missionaries could leave their comfort zones and join us in Nigeria.

Returning home is a sacrifice and is not simple. Even though I don’t see them, I have grandchildren. My daily dictionary does not include the word “fear.”
Despite the fact that I’m returning to serve, I still use common sense. Although I apply a lot of common sense, it applies to my employees as well as to myself.
The NAFDAC employees were conducting an inspection six months ago, hence I wasn’t the one who was assaulted and bleeding in Onitsha.
“One of our employees is here.” One day, I simply asked, “What happened?” while glancing at her arm. She claimed that she nearly died when they conducted an inspection.
