NAFDAC Is Corrupt’ Former Financial Director lament


Ademola Mogbojuri, a former finance director of National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has accused the director general, Dr Paul Orhii of corruption. 

Mogbojuri was redeployed to NAFDAC Training Institute in Kaduna and has claimed that this was done by the DG to cover up his financial mess and that he had documents that showed the reckless spending of Orhii.


The punch reports that the former financial director had been accused of gross misconduct and financial impropriety by the medical and health workers’ union of NAFDAC. He was also accused of showing disrespect to the DG on many occasions.

In his defence, Mogbojuri said this was the second time in a month that he has been transferred and pointed accusing fingers at Dr Orhii.

“I am not the one who wrote to Sahara Reporters or even petitioned the Federal Government on the crisis in NAFDAC as widely claimed. The truth of the matter is that the DG is quite reckless with spending. “Before he joined the agency in 2009, the annual total revenue of NAFDAC was about N2.5bn and he met around N600m in the account. Now, the total internally generated revenue is about N9bn and the agency owes about N5bn in debt

“Some of the companies they use to carry out the deals have collected over N6bn in the last two years. Towards the general election this year, he collected a lot of money and used it to buy vehicles, which he branded and gave to a governorship aspirant in his native Benue State. The financial recklessness of the DG has brought NAFDAC onto its knees.

“The DG swapped me, a trained accountant with a statistician, who used to head the Planning, Research and Statistics section but I never protested. The posting they did on Thursday in which they moved me to Kaduna, I have not received the letter even as we speak, so how do I say I am resuming anywhere? This is the second time I would be redeployed within a month. The impunity in NAFDAC is too much.
