When Scientists from the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research , Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti and other stakeholders converged in the hallowed bowel of the NIMR Auditorium on April 18, 2023, little did anyone know that it would be a day that would be greeted with different pleasant observations, effusive praises and commendable reactions.
“This is the time for us to rethink and unite. This is the time we need to change our attitude and graduate away from our brainwashed position that using our herbal formulations is fetish and occultic. We need to promote our own because if we don’t, nobody will do it for us. The NIMR boss recalled that an independent evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the ABUAD herbal mixture which had earlier been approved by NAFDAC as a herbal immune booster and antioxidant, showed that it has potential to be registered as a treatment for SARS-CoV-2
Introducing the herbal product, the Director, Institute for Drug Research & Development , S.E. Bogoro Centre, ABUAD, Professor Olaposi Omotuyi, said the ABUAD Virucidine Liquid was submitted for research in Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine for acute and sub-acute toxicity study and also the NIMR for further testing.
He described the certification as a confirmation of the efficacy of research work on-going in ABUAD, as he further assured that the university is ready to launch the production of the Virucidine Liquid on a massive scale.
