Nigeria ‘accepts’ Madagascar’s Covid Organics as medical experts in the country kick

Nigeria has accepted the COVID-19 remedy developed by Madagascar and is set to fly it into the country from Guinea Bissau.

Secretary-General of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, revealed on Monday, 13 May that President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered that the COVID Organics remedy from Madagascar is to be subjected to rigorous testing in order to confirm the validation of the medicine.

He said during the media briefing of the presidential task force in Abuja:

“Madagascar has made allocations to various countries and sent them to Guinea Bissau. We‘re supposed to make arrangements to freight Nigeria’s allocation from Guinea Bissau; it‘ll be subjected to the standard validation process for pharmaceuticals.

“Mr President has given instructions for the airlifting of Nigeria’s allocation of the Madagascar Covid-19 Syrup; also given clear instructions that it must be subjected to the standard validation process for pharmaceuticals; there will be no exceptions for this.

“Nigeria has only one National Response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Where there are differing Strategies is in the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions. But as far as the (Health) Response is concerned, there is only one National Response.”

Meanwhile, medical experts in the country, including pharmacists, nurses, and medical doctors have kicked against the Federal Government’s plan to import the tonic, citing the fact that Nigeria has enough resources within the country to develop her own cure.

The president of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa said the decision by the FG to import the herbal medicine is “thoroughly disgraceful”.

Ohuabunwa said: “The PSN has received the news that the Federal Government of Nigeria is about to import a herbal concoction called COVID Organics (CVO) from Madagascar with utter disbelief.

“While in principle we would not mind Nigerian government importing any new drug that is proven to cure COVID-19 or indeed any other disease for which we have neither the capacity, nor the technology to produce locally, we are totally appalled that Nigeria is about to spend scarce foreign exchange to ‘import coal into Newcastle’.

“Even if we are not going to pay for this, it is thoroughly disgraceful that a country that should be the leader of Africa, with the largest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will allow itself to be dragged this low.”
