THE National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, workers have been urged to desist from placement of personal interest above national considerations.

A public affairs analyst, Mr. Martins Ikhilae, who made the assertion in Lagos, contended that the dynamic leadership style and focus of NAFDAC’s chief executive should be emulated by the agency’s workforce rather than engaging in retrogressive practices borne from personal considerations.

Ikhilae noted that job rotation through intra-agency staff postings or redeployment, was a standard administrative practice embraced by well meaning chief executives bent on bringing effectiveness and efficiency to bear in their organisations, stressing that NAFDAC’s postings should, therefore, not be a subject of controversies. He said that stagnation of personnel was capable of contaminating a nation’s socio-political and economic progress as it often breads corruption, redundancy, diminishing returns, laziness,inferiority complex, pride and unpatriotic acts, noting that these must not be allowed in NAFDAC.
