The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has reacted to the allegation that it’s sidelining COVID-19 cure by Nigerian companies.
Iwu, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Bioresources Development Group, said the government should be interested in the drugs he and his research group came up with and others made locally. The statement reads: “The rush to mitigate the mortality and morbidity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in acceleration of product development, repurposing of formulations, off label use of therapeutics and the search for a vaccine to prevent COVID-19.
“NAFDAC has only received an application from one company for approval of a product for the treatment of the symptoms of COVID-19, and not for the cure of COVID-19 as a disease. NAFDAC added that in order to promote herbal products, the Nigerian Herbal Medicine Product Committee has been set up by the Director-General, NAFDAC.
