The senate has taken steps to facilitate the implementation of President Bola Tinubu’s directive approving the refund of unauthorised deductions from the internally generated revenue (IGR) of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
The move followed the disclosure by Mojisola Adeyeye, director-general (DG) of NAFDAC, that the agency is yet to receive the implementation letter for the presidential directive despite its approval in August 2025.
Adeyeye spoke on Wednesday while appearing before the senate committee on finance at an investigative hearing on the remittance of IGR and operating surplus into the consolidated revenue fund for the 2023-2025 fiscal years.
The NAFDAC DG said the president approved the refund after she met with him last August, but the directive has yet to be implemented.
“I went to Mr. President in August last year and showed him what had been deducted,” Adeyeye
