The appointment seems deserving looking at Madam’s qualification and experience.
However, Madam’s ability to move NAFDAC (an agency dat has been sleeping since Prof Dora left) to greater heights is all DAT matters.
I hope you make a difference
Her appointment based on her educational qualifications is round peg in a round hole.
A merited & well-deserved appointment. Hmmm! Nevertheless can madam operate in Nigeria without being stained with all these monumental corruptions?
