I inherited N3.2 bn debt – NAFDAC D-G
, Mojisola Adeyeye, says she inherited a debt of N3.2 billion when she assumed office in November 2017.
According to her, N7 billion was generated in 2017; while N2.5 billion and N3.1 billion were generated from the agency’s IGR windows in 2018 and 2019 respectively.“About 80 per cent of the equipment in the agency‘s laboratories are not functioning, directors have no laptops to work with, incessant industrial actions and lack of utility vehicles are the many problems facing the agency.
“I also met about 6,000 backlog of applications for approval of different products. We also adopted a ‘Customer First’ strategy and gave a mandate for the applications to be cleared within two months and it was done. “We have seven laboratories across the country and we have bought eight basic equipment, it is not enough because the goal is to have 20 of such equipment, “she said.
