The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has denied allegations of corrupt practices levelled against the Director- General of the Agency, Dr. Paul Orhii. Also, the Agency has urged the public to ignore the allegations, saying that the management of NAFDAC will not lose focus on the frivolous allegations.
It will be recalled that since the Agency’s Director of Finance and Accounts, Mr. Ademola Mogbojuri has alleged corrupt practices against the Director- General of the Agency, NAFDAC has been inundated by concerns from stakeholders and strategic partners.
A statement from NAFDAC’s Director of Special Duties, Dr. Abubakar Jimoh, yesterday said: “Ordinarily, the publications would have been ignored except for the wrong information it would send to the public. However, for concerns expressed by the public and our stakeholders, we wish to state categorically that these allegations are baseless, false, misleading and frivolous because nothing of such happened under the watch of Dr. Paul Orhii as Director –General of NAFDAC.
