Buhari approves airlifting of Madagascar’s anti-coronavirus drink

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday approved the airlifting of the country’s allocation of the Madagascar anti-coronavirus drink.

“Mr President has given instructions for the airlifting of Nigeria’s allocation of the Madagascar #Covid19 Syrup,” Boss Mustapha, secretary to the federal government said at the COVID19 daily press briefing.

Mustapha disclosed that the president also gave “clear instructions that it must be subjected to the standard validation process for pharmaceuticals; there will be no exceptions for this.”

“Where there are differing Strategies is in the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions. But as far as the (Health) Response is concerned, there is only one National Response,” Mustapha said.
