Madagascar cure: Nigeria got allocation not order – Ogunlesi
One of President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aides, Tolu Ogunlesi, has said that the reported COVID-19 cure from Madagascar was an allocation sent to various countries, insisting that the country did not order for the cure as widely believed.
Ogunlesi stated this in a tweet on Tuesday, explaining that Nigeria is simply picking up its allocation.
“Worth saying again: Nigeria did not “order” the alleged Covid-19 cure from Madagascar. We got an allocation. Many other African countries did.
“We are simply picking up our allocation. And it will be subjected to standard NAFDAC procedures. No validation no use. It’s that simple,” he tweeted.
The Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 yesterday confirmed that Buhari approved the collection of Madagascar’s reported cure.
Also, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire had disclosed that plants used in producing Madagascar’s COVID-19 cure can be found in Nigeria.
