Also speaking, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Health Matters, Prof. Wale Suleiman, emphasized the need to ensure that quality and efficacy of the preparations are guaranteed and safe for human consumption.

Commitment to fight Covid-19

The Director General of NIPRD, Dr. Obi Adigwe commended Gov. AbdulRazaq for his proactiveness in the health sector, especially his commitment to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in the State.

He explained that the outbreak of COVID-19 has been an eye opener for Nigerians to improve our attention on traditional medications.
