Why Trust Is the New Currency

Dr Regina Garba, National Head of Post-Market Surveillance, NAFDAC. For the Director General of NAFDAC, Professor Mojisola Christianah Adeyeye.

From 2027, NAFDAC will require traceability.

Without it, licences will not be renewed. The morning set the stakes for every conversation that followed.

Three panels. One question: how do you prove it's real?

11:10, What we launched

We didn't just talk about traceability. We put the machine on stage.

Every pack gets its own identity on the line: printed, checked by camera, linked to its carton and pallet, and traceable from the factory to the customer's hand.
