‘Use your new brand to reinforce core values’ – First Lady to FDA

The First Lady of Ghana, Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo charged the Food and Drugs Authority to focus its rebranding agenda towards safeguarding the ultimate interests of Ghanaians.

She disclosed this yesterday, April 16, 2019, at the unveiling ceremony of the new corporate image of the Food and Drugs Authority in Accra.

According to Mrs. Akufo-Addo, this move by the FDA will entrench the personality of the new brand.

She said, it is also envisaged that the re-branding will help to revitalize the FDA brand and reposition the FDA, to appeal to a wider public and boost the understanding and acceptance of its role.

The First Lady said malnutrition, food hygiene and unwholesome products remain critical to the broader agenda of ensuring a healthy productive population.

This, she said is why the Food and Drugs Authority has proven to be one of the most powerful regulatory institutions in Ghana.

“Not too long ago, the herbal industry was not regulated. Anyone could produce and package products in any form and sell it anyhow they wanted. The story is different today. We all bear witness that, there is an appreciable level of certainty and regulation in the herbal medicinal and beverage industries.” She said.

While congratulating the FDA’s contribution to national development, Mrs. Akufo-Addo called on them to resist any practice that will undermine the new corporate brand and forge an institution that will stand the test of time.
