The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) has denied allegation making the rounds in some online publication that its Executive Director Dr. Faisal Shuaibu advocated for a $200 million loan for the importation and local production of mosquitoes nets in the country.
The agency in a statement issued to newsmen on Wednesday and signed by the Head, Public Relations Unit Mohammad Ohitoto said the Malaria programme is the responsibility of the National Malaria Elimination Programme of the Federal Ministry of Health.
It has said the statement is not only untrue, but also a figment of the imagination of the writer as the CEO never discussed the malaria programme nor granted any interview on the malaria programme.
It therefore said the NPHCDA Chief Executive has no reason whatsoever to discuss or advocate for funding for such intervention adding that the news is outrightly unfounded and fake and should be disregarded by all well-meaning Nigerians
