The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved N307.5 million
for the purchase of operational vehicles for the National Agency
for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
Minister of State for Health, Adeleke Mamora, briefed State
House correspondents after FEC meeting, presided by Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said that the vehicles were needed for effective execution of
the agency’s mandate.
“These 15 vehicles are meant to improve mobility.
“You recall that NAFDAC is a regulatory agency and has a lot to
do in terms of field work.
“ In order to improve mobility and enhance operational
efficiency; regulation—checking so many things; claims in terms of
products, drugs, food items, water production; they need to move
around and confirm claims and certify.
“So, that is the need for these operational vehicles and these
are Hilux vehicles, 15 in number,’’ he said.
Mamora said that the 15 Hilux vehicles would cost N307.562
million.
He said that Hilux vehicles had stood the test of time in terms
of durability and ability to perform on Nigerian roads.
