On Friday at @NCDCgov our Director of Laboratory Services, Dr Adebayo Adedeji who has been there since the beginning of the agency officially retired from public service. An amazing colleague to celebrate!

Following the Avian Influenza outbreak in Nigeria over 10 years ago, the country became a recipient of an Influenza grant from @CDCgov. Dr Adedeji has led this grant from start, ensuring Nigeria's surveillance of #influenza virus. This is published in our #NCDCWER
Despite the difficulties experienced in managing sentinel sites across the country, Dr Adedeji's leadership has made remarkable progress. Prior to our operationalisation of the National Reference Lab, the #influenza bench was the biggest learning platform for our lab scientists
To ensure a seamless transition, Dr Adedeji has mentored several colleagues to take up new leadership roles. The NCDC we want is one where continuity is always assured, passed from one generation to another.
Today, I celebrate a great man who has been in a very challenging role in leading @NCDCgov's coordination of public health laboratories and the National Reference Laboratory. Congratulations to Dr Adebayo Adedeji....
