The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 on Tuesday said the Madagascar herbal remedy for COVID-19 will be subjected to the normal regulatory processes before it will be administered for use in Nigeria.
According to Channels Tv, the National Coordinator of the PTF, Sani Aliyu, disclosed this while addressing journalists in Abuja.
“I want to start briefly by talking about the Madagascar cure. As directed by the President, I want to state that any medication coming into the country whether it is herbal cure or concoction or normal drug. It has to be subjected to the normal regulatory process.
“The Madagascar cure will be subjected to the normal process we expect within the legal frameworks and guidelines that we have. More importantly, not only to establish its efficacy but for it to be legally registered.
“So this drug would go through the normal regulatory process which can be stringent before it can be administered in the country,” Aliyu said.
InsideOjodu recalls that President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier ordered the PTF to get samples of the COVID Organics to Nigeria for clinical tests and use.
