 China and India have been identified as countries responsible for the influx of fake and substandard drugs into Nigeria. This was the submission of the Director-General of NAVDAC during the 2022 budget defence in Abuja. She blamed the removal of NAVDAC enforcement officers from the ports since 2011. According to her, emboldened drug lords have formed a watertight cabal to undermine security agencies at the ports to bring in fake drugs. Dr. Adeye also used the opportunity to request more personnel for the agency. She stated that as of today, it can only boast of just 2,118 personnel across the country which is barely enough to please the entire country. In terms of regulation of the border, we need staff. We have 2,118 staff now. We need more staff at the borders. We don't have enough men and women to guard our borders. Ten men of the committee on the Botanku Sinuno taxed NAVDAC to conduct a nationwide market surveillance to track and confiscate these fake and substandard drugs before it destroys every fabric of the society. The cabal you are saying will know that the country is ready to check my claim. Adeye assured that the agency had taken the war into countries like China and India and the interface is yielding significant results.
