The Director of the Primary Health Care (PHC) in Nangere Local Government Area of Yobe State, Ibrahim Lawan, has accepted responsibility for the diversion of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) under his care.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the state’s PHC Board had suspended Mr Lawal for “diverting and misusing” the food supplements.
Adamu Abba, the board’s spokesperson, who announced the suspension on Wednesday in Damaturu, said that a five-member committee had been set up to investigate the matter.
