The award was presented at NACCIMA’s Breakfast Roundtable Meeting held at Providence Hotel in Lagos, where Adeyeye served as the guest speaker.

The event brought together members of the association, business leaders and other stakeholders from the organised private sector to discuss regulatory reforms, industrial development and public health protection.

In her keynote address, Adeyeye highlighted reforms introduced by NAFDAC to strengthen regulatory processes, improve business operations and ensure the safety and quality of products available to Nigerian consumers.

She explained that the agency's regulatory framework was designed to promote industrial growth while ensuring that food, medicines and other regulated products met established safety and quality standards.

The NAFDAC chief also emphasised the importance of transparent, science-based and business-friendly regulation in creating an environment that supports legitimate businesses and protects public health.

Participants at the meeting commended her leadership and commitment to tackling fake and substandard drugs, as well as her contributions to improving the country's regulatory environment.

NACCIMA said the recognition was in appreciation of Adeyeye's performance, dedication and contributions to industrial development and the fight against counterfeit and substandard products.
