NAFDAC was one of the organisations I studied for my PhD between 2009 and 2012.
I had the privilege of interviewing the late, great, Prof Dora Akunyili. I remember the interview as if it happened yesterday because I interviewed her at home and she insisted on cooking breakfast for my driver while he waited.
In 2003, the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Research and Development reported that 80% of drugs on sale in Lagos were fake.
The incidence of fake drugs is officially reported to have reduced from 41% in 2002, through to 16% in 2006, to 10% in 2011. It was expected to fall to 8% by 2013.
In opinion ratings in Nigeria, NAFDAC was rated to be the most effective government agency in Nigeria for 3 years in a row. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime also rated Nigeria as West Africa's most effective drug control country, and commended the work of NAFDAC.
Fast forward to 2022, NAFDAC came out to say that the prevalence of fake drugs is 15%, not 70% as some researchers had claimed.
Even at 15%, you would have noticed a retrogression from the 10% it was in 2011.
And even if NAFDAC’s 2022 claim that fake drugs are at 15% is correct, what about its other roles to regulate food, drinks, water and cosmetics?
I suspect that public perception of prevalence of counterfeit food, drinks and cosmetics would be very near the 80% it was exactly 20 years ago.
I study public governance and pockets of effectiveness in dysfunctional States. To see NAFDAC retrogress in this way seriously challenges any notion that islands of excellence can withstand the general sea of dysfunction for very long, without a deliberate effort by successive administrations to deliberately seek out and appoint the same kind of person that first turned around the organization in the first place.
Some functions should be immune from politics and patronage. End.
lol Alex Otti is playing mind games and I’ll explain.
—in 2023, Ikpeazu passed 157billion budget and out of this, 75 billion (47.2%) is the recurrent expenditure.
—If Otti is passing a budget of 567 billion and he’s allocating 16% for recurrent expenditure, it means he is spending 90billion on that.
Now the question people will ask is that where will he see over 400billion extra judging that Abia IGR/Remittance and etc can’t even flash.
Let’s wait for the budget performance, that’s when people will understand his mind games.

Nigerian Soldier (making a call): "Hello Sanusi, Please, for the sake of God, I want you to do something. Can you hear me? I want you to tell everybody on the road that the Fulanis are on their way passing- by. Nobody should say anything for God's sake. Just allow them pass. 1/
When Obaseki spoke out, he faced ridicule and mockery, labeled with names like 'Edo60bn'. Yet today, his words stand validated. He sounded the alarm, but were we too deafened by bias to hear?
"Yoruba Ronu" is a famous phrase now commonly used. But this exact phrase has been controversial in the Nigerian space for quite sometime since it was first concocted by the legendary Hubert Ogunde.
Here is a story of the legend and why "Yoruba Ronu" was controversial.
A tale of 2 mindsets, one of empathy the other of entitlement. One of self sacrifice the other out of touch and anti-people - " let them eat cake". At this point, are Nigerians blessed or cursed with capacity for long suffering?
WE NEED TO LOVE OUR OWN!!!
The Government of countries that have indigenous car manufactures use their vehicles as official vehicles.
You will never see Macron of France driving in a US made Cadillac or Biden in a France made Renault, it’s not possible.
They patronize their own and that’s how they sell the brand of their country.
