The Director-General of the National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration And Control, NAFDAC, Dr. Paul Orhi, has been summoned by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over allegations bordering on abuse of office.

Dr. Orhi is currently being questioned by a crack team of detectives for allegedly awarding huge contracts to companies in which he has interests.
An EFCC top source confirmed to Vanguard that the DG, who arrived the commission’s headquarters around 10am Monday had been making useful statement to its agents.
The source said: “It is true that the NAFDAC head was summoned by us and he is currently being quizzed in relation to allegations that he has been awarding contracts running into millions of Naira to companies close to him.
Asked if the man would be released today on self recognition, the source said he had no idea but that doing so might depend on whether the operatives were satisfied with his answers to issues raised against him.

Details shortly….

EFCC is really working in the last few weeks. What happened to them in the last 4 years? does it truly means that the last administration was an "anything goes government"? God bless the voters who voted in the current administration...

If he doesn't give contract to his family members, who else should he give? The question should be, did they execute the contracts. If yes, they are  better than thousand others that steal with their pen without accountability.

 Sad Sad Sad what a lame analysis...NAFDAC is not a family business. Contracts should be given to the best qualified, not to the closest family member.
