Global Fund had in March accused Zenith Carex of systematically inflating invoices for the distribution of health commodities to warehouses and health facilities throughout Nigeria.

Assuring this newspaper of its efforts to ensure justice is done regarding the matter, EFCC wrote that it is investigating “Zenith Limited for an alleged offence of conspiracy and criminal breach of trust with regards to contracts for the distribution of drugs/vaccine supply chain programme in all states of the federation.”

The firm said EFCC was aware of the development and had invited some of the parties involved. It also called on the federal government to intervene in the matter. Since 2003, the Global Fund has disbursed over $2 billion in Nigeria. But despite that, the country is still dogged by disturbing health statistics partly because corrupt and incompetent officials undercut progress in health management, health experts say.
