As the world battles the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic, a trado-medicine practitioner, Alhaji Sulaiman Lawal, has called on both the Federal and State governments to consider locally manufactured herbal medicine as a solution to it.
Lawal, who is the Egbeji of Ogbomosoland maintained that his NAFDAC-approved herbal products have cured over 500 people, including top government functionaries with symptoms of COVID-19 both in Nigeria and other parts of the world.
He attributed the continuous spread of the pandemic to the government’s inability to properly engage and trust the efficacy of traditional medicines
He stressed that the government’s over reliance on foreign medicine for dreaded pandemic is not in the best for the nation as serious outbreak may have move adverse effects on the people and economy
He said, “The government has failed to acknowledge the efficacy of trado-medicine in providing adequate solution to the virus and other deadly diseases. I don’t really blame the governments. It is due to the influx of fake herbal medicine practitioners who are hyping their junks.
“They hype their products in order to feather their own nests which is not good but in my own case, all my products are approved by the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).”
While commending governments at all levels for their efforts so far, Lawal emphasized that he is open to negotiation at the beck and call of governments, organisations, private entrepreneurs, and individuals to weed off COVID-19.
Speaking on his herbal medicine Alhaji Sulaimon said the “One Stone COVID Herbal Capsule” has the efficacy to cure people with COVID-19 symptoms and other related diseases.
Apart from that medicine, he has also manufactured drugs that could cure asthma, diabetes, tuberculosis, cancer, liver and kidney problems, hypertension, hypotension, among others.
Lawal, who claimed he inherited the knowledge from his father at a tender age, said he was among the herbal traditional practitioners that were contacted by the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Resarch and Development (NIPRID) in Abuja and other government agencies for solutions to some dreadful ailments.
