MORE THAN a year since a Federal High Court in Abuja mandated the Federal Ministry of Health and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) to deposit $62 million allocated for malaria initiatives into an interest-generating account managed by the court, concerns are growing regarding adherence to this ruling.
The directive, issued on July 2, 2025, by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, further mandated the immediate halt of the procurement process for Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) until the resolution of a main suit presented by Rosies Textile Mills Limited.
Documents from the court shared with reporters in Abuja over the weekend reveal that the lawsuit was filed against the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), the Minister of Health, the Federal Ministry of Health, and UNOPS, identified as an agent of the ministry.
The issue revolves around the procurement of mosquito nets.
