Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has approved a herbal drug that was produced by Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD) for the treatment of COVID-19.
The founder of the University, also a senior advocate of Nigeria, Chief Afe Babalola disclosed this yesterday, in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, at a ceremony commemorating the 12th anniversary of the establishment of ABUAD.
“I can confirm to you today that our herbal drug produced through extensive research by our team of researchers has healed about 19 patients who contracted covid-19 pandemic. They were healed perfectly less than five days of usage, which tells you the level of our research in ABUAD.”
Babalola noted that the research department of the university over the years has been churning out meaningful new discoveries aimed at solving the socio-economic problems of the country.
He said, “I am happy that I conceived this university twelve years ago and since then, we have been going from strength to strength, making exploits in all our endeavours. Our vision is to make this place a great institution in the university education in the country in teaching, research and community service
