NAFDAC reforms boost local drug production, attract investors, says DG

NAFDAC Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, has highlighted the agency's regulatory reforms and their impact on local manufacturing and investment in Nigeria's health products sector. At the Invest Nigeria Conference & Expo 4.0, Adeyeye outlined regulatory measures introduced by NAFDAC and the gains recorded in local production and investment.

She highlighted NAFDAC's sustained Maturity Level 3 status, the highest benchmarking rating in Africa, as well as Nigeria's full membership of the International Council for Harmonisation, attained in November 2025. The reforms, such as the 5+5 Policy and Ceiling List, have led to a significant increase in contract manufacturing partnerships, facility layout reviews, and local production, attracting foreign direct investment from companies in Asia and the Middle East.
