President, Muhammadu Buhari, has ordered the importation of Madagascar’s coronavirus herbal cure.
Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, made the disclosure during a briefing in Abuja on Monday.
According to Mustapha, “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.
Madagascar said the remedy is derived from artemisia, a plant with proven anti-malarial properties and other indigenous herbs.
