“When I came to NAFDAC, there were a lot of things that were wrong. Take oversight function or whatever that is done, I was shocked when I was told to give money, I said money for what? … money to the committee that visited us. The Health Care Services Committee of the House of Representatives,” she said on Friday during an interview on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily.
Adeyeye further stated that the request from the federal lawmakers came at a time the agency was ‘bleeding profusely’ from a paucity of funds.
Beyond shocking, she described the day as the worst day of her life as ‘a chief regulator.’
“I said I cannot. For just the visit? I couldn’t believe my ears because it saddens me. Yes, it can be referred to as them asking for a bribe. It saddens me. This is an organisation that was bleeding profusely.
“It wasn’t taken well at all. I was threatened and I couldn’t believe that too, you are threatening me?” she stated.

ReplyDeleteYour hate for Buhari has blinded your ability to reason like a normal human being,shame on you
DeleteThis is where Dora Akunyili is dearly missed.
ReplyDeleteShe for don draw list name all of them tey tey.
Hey, even in Dora Akunyili's time, it was done. I worked in Abuja in a federal parastatal for about 15 years before I relocated abroad. All those house committees on this and that na money dem dey take collect from all those organizations, they don't oversee anything, their clerk will call you before the visit and straightaway tell you to prepare the brown envelope. Those people are thieves, no be today dem start that's why they will even kill to get there because they make money from different avenues.
DeleteUna never she shomtin, that's how they DEMAND for bribes from all the federal government agencies. This is allocation that is due these Organisations and you see them demanding for àbout 75% of the allocation. So, how would these Organisations now work? Nigeria I hail, evil everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThe terrible greed, impunity, arrogance of power and abuse of office of these legislooters is totally out of control, this is the same way they wanted money from Colonel Hammed Ali, the CG of the Nigerian Customs. This is the same way they accepted bribes from MTN and other foreign companies and allow those ones to treat Nigerian consumers like trash without any checks and balances. Evil people that have never seen wealth before. Their primary focus is self-interest and not national interest. One day will be one day from all of them.
ReplyDeleteWhen a so-called anti corruption fight is openly biased, one-sided and based on nepotism and double-standard, impunity like this will be inevitable. Mr Integrity and his crew of deceivers think they are fighting corruption when they themselves are surrounded everywhere by corruption. Weak, nepotic, ineffective and archaic style of leadership cannot match the firepower already entrenched in the corrupt system.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. They should have set them up and film them collecting the bribe money. Awon wobia, ole onijekuje, alajeranju, awon ajeun ma bojuweyin, awon ajeun j'awo naa mo, awon alajenjetan, awon ajeun je'sasun ati ikoko pelu. Did she inform Mr Buhari eventhough he will not do anything, weak ruler.
ReplyDeleteMummy in the News.
ReplyDeleteSenators demanding bribe is one of the most serious crimes that can be committed against a country by a public official because it goes directly to the foundation of public trust, governance accountability and transparency of that country, the president of south korea was sentenced to 22 years imprisonment for crimes that are not even as serious as demanding bribe, but here in Nigeria it is normal, the clueless government hardly knows any better.
