JUST IN: FG wades into NAFDAC crisis, approves immediate resignation of acting DG, Oni

Sequel to the crisis that recently befell the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC, over the demands for the resignation of the acting Director General, Mrs. Yetunde Oni, the Federal Government on Thursday approved the immediate resignation of the embattled acting DG.

The directive for the ‘immediate retirement’ was granted by the Permanent Secretary in the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, R.P. Ugo.

The directive, dated September 28, was in response to a letter written to the SGF by Mrs. Oni over the worker’s unrest in the regulatory agency.

TheNewsGuru.com reports that the workers of the Agency commenced an indefinite strike last week demanding among others the immediate removal of Mrs. Oni, whom they said was already due for retirement.
