Adeyeye has been NAFDAC DG since November 2017.
Tinubu, on Thursday, also named Dr. Mansur Kabir as the new Chairman of NAFDAC board.
This was as he also appointed Dr. Olajide Idris as the new Director-General for the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, to replace Prof. Ifedayo Adetifa.
The decisions were disclosed by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement titled ‘President Tinubu approves leadership changes in health and social welfare sector.’
