The Republic of Madagascar has sent its herbal drug – COVID Organics (COV) – to Nigeria among other African countries which is said to be a herbal cure for Coronavirus.
The drug, which is said to be for the prevention and cure of the novel Coronavirus, was sent to Equatorial Guinea from where it will be airlifted to Abuja.
It was gathered that African countries were divided into zones for ease of transportation, leading to freighting of Nigeria’s consignments to Equatorial Guinea.
The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 has been notified of the offer from Madagascar and arrangements are being made to bring Nigeria’s allocation to Abuja.
While some health officials are pushing for clinical trial of Covid Organics before being used in the country, there is reportedly pressure on the Federal Government by different medical and scientific organizations to allow the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD) and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) subject the drug to further analysis.
