President Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday, appointed Dr. Ifedayo Morayo Adetifa as the new Director-General of Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
Buhari’s Special Assistant on Media & Publicity, Garba Shehu, confirmed the appointment in a statement.
Shehu said Adetifa will take over from Chikwe Ihekweazu, who has been given an appointment at the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Ihekweazu had been NCDC DG since 2016 when Buhari appointed him, but last week, WHO appointed him as an Assistant Director-General.
