The Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, on Monday, ordered manufacturing of chloroquine for emergency stock for possible clinic

al trial treatment of coronavirus.

She said, “Chloroquine, an old anti-malarial, is being re-purposed for the clinical trial treatment of coronavirus 2019-nCoV. The drug was first tested in vitro using standard assays to measure the effects on the cytotoxicity, virus yield and infection rates of 2019-nCoV. The DG of NAFDAC noted that the drug was discontinued in Nigeria many years ago for use as anti-malarial because of the resistance that the parasite developed against it.

According to Adeyeye, despite initial difficulty expressed by the managing director of the company, the hurdle was later removed, leading to the production of the drug with more to be manufactured.

Necessary

ShehuSani Nigerians are looking into NAFDAC and we believe God will give you the wisdom to meet up the demand

At what time?!

He is making show of his ignorance which ought to be hidden!

Nafdac

It's not only u! They are just trying to frustrate our lives!!

Nafdac does not have that powers who will pay for the drugs foolish . It has to be a presidential directive .

This stupid Post colonial mentality NAFDAC orders, like they have the power to. You think to produce Chloroquine is to put beans on fire? Even the US president is striking deals with the private sector to facilitate production of essentials.

NAFDAC can not order anybody to produce anything, can they fund it? Even the US president had been appealing to private companies to switch production lines. Please stop embarrassing us with all this kind of news, just give us COVID-19 updates.

Lol who are they ordering😂😂😂😂

doing Give away in a bit 🤑 You may be among winners All you have to do is to follow me HopsyBraimoh share my post and stay tune....something big will come up before 8pm

Punch with fake news

Chloroquine just dey smile ☺ on top una matter...

Ose awon eyan chloroquin

Will the law enforcement allow suppliers to deliver raw materials on time? What support are you giving the manufacturers?

A set of confused people speaking from 2 sides of the mouth.

Some people are about to shoot their legs

No sense

I taught it was suppose to pass through clinical test?

Hahahahhahahaha... Nigeria will never learn. So we no longer have proactive leaders who can be spontaneous at least? Emergency approaches always.

The hv ordered

Na now una morning reach

This is definitely a positive news that every Nigeria need to hear. I'm particularly pleased because it is a local pharmaceutical company that is handling the production, not American company.

Now we are in for it. Trust FAKE to flod the market soon.

sitogonzak has it been confirmed the antidote for the virus?

Good move

When I hear 'order' it baffles me a lot. Are the phamercitical companies an apendage of NAFDAC, can NAFDAC really order them to produce? Or have the government given some sort of grant in that regard? Please punch newspaper be specific specie_o NafdacAgency

africaupdates Useless people

If this old woman is the DG of nafdac. How do you expect any progress in that organization. From her old grumpy looks, she doesn't look to me like one with the knowledge to research for any cure except taking directives from buhari . She will never take any cure idea serious

Who approved it 🤔🤔

I suspect that chloroquine was used as a clinical trial and it worked. Let's be hopeful

Heaven knows I'll not buy that nonsense! Please if you guys can, purchase your drugs from Amazon

Why After the initial cancellation of the product. I don't understand this country anymore

Approved later disapproved and now approved again... please make up your mind.

hevellll I have a feeling this batch will be more bitter.

Chloroquine again?

Piritone too

follow HallUniversal and i follow back ASAP.

Nice development.

But I thought they say its not good for treatment of covid19

🙄

Nafdac passing ordering too.😀 I heard , hear say they take bribes to allow people market medicine. Visiting shops to extort or shut down. Dr Dora Akinyuli was remembered for honesty.

Where?

They should ensure it is original sha...before they kill us more than the virus itself

E don tay we dey hear this order. When will they be done with the production?

From where

What of the HERBS proposed by OONI? Can’t we just embrace our culture?

Who told there mumus that chloroquine can cure Covid-19?

Chloroquine to the world🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They should just reveal the taking procedure to all private clinic in country to end this pandemic in time.

ShehuSani Blown

A step in the right direction. Kudos! StayAtHomeAndStaySafe

Is it chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine? Let's not shoot ourselves in the leg, abeg! 😢

Confusion everywhere

ShehuSani Distinguish !!! It is good initiative to NAFDAC BOSS

Just look at the stupid woman’s face

Nigeria is confused

Finally? Thank God they finally woke up from slumber

Lmao 🤣

Good news! Let's be more proactive

Someone is talking in the rubbish here 😂😂😂😂

So we finally accepting this now🙄

Misguided fellows.. Anything the US_FDA says is what they will do. Now I remembered the DG was called to head NafdacAgency from her work in the USA. So she must have some allies to confide in USA before she can deduce what is right from the left

Finally

ShehuSani Does it cure covid 19, why producing?

Just hope its helpful

This is not supposed to be made public. Watch people abuse this drug and pharmacy stores ready to raise the price x50..

This is the kind of woman Africa needs. We have just taken charge of our destiny, instead of waiting for imported solutions. Well done NAFDAC

This is not to mean that people can start using it for COVID19Nigeria. The production is for clinical trial please.

FDA: chloroquine is NO savior NAFDAC:

Orders as raises a Local Purchase Order? Because they can't order production

After ridiculing Trump for chloroquine? Copy copy no innovation

So they can later have sense to produce this thing
