The NAFDAC boss said the agency will never request gratification to carry out its mandate.
The Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has warned Nigerians against falling for scammers on social media.
Professor Mojisola Adeyeye while giving the hint, also warned against using her social media accounts – Facebook and LinkedIn – to ask for money in exchange for employment and other favours.
Adeyeye made this known at a press conference held in Abuja on Tuesday.
The NAFDAC boss said the agency will never request gratification to carry out its mandate.
“This is a security breach. NAFDAC and the DG will never request gratification to carry out its mandate.
“As a result of this, the social media account of the DG will no longer be in use until further notice.
