INTERVIEW: Over 10,000 Nigerian indigenous plants have ethno medicinal value – DG, NIPRD

Traditionally, the institute had depended on funding that came from the federal budget and as you know over the past few years, various international events have led to the decrease in the revenue at the federal level.

We are engaging with these agencies so that we are all working towards the same goal, with respect to our CPP, as well as for other issues. At NIPRD, we are going even further in the different programmes that we have developed, we have mapped out products that grow in the 36 states of the federation as well as the FCT. And while mapping out, we have singled out for each state, plants for which the natural climate and conditions in that area encourage the growth of high quality varieties of those products.

Do they have potential for a long value chain that will help to employ people along the line while they are being processed? These are questions that we asked that enabled us to do a ranking. For each state, we now have three star products for each location and this is the ranking that we are now using to approach interested stakeholders.

For instance, development partners who are interested in providing sustainable employment for specific demographies such as women and youth. Some of our projects are specifically embedded with programmes tailored for these groups, so we are engaging such partners. Sometimes also, we in healthcare are not articulate in making our demands known. Just like I told the House Committee Chair when we went to defend part of our proposals in December, I made it clear to them that until we start to take research into healthcare, research into pharmaceutical development, research into the potential that pharmaceutical and related developments has to drive the entire economy, then we will sit where we are and not make any progress.

The suspicion that conventional medicine expresses when viewing any medicine that is not conventional is understandable because in places like China, India where they have undertaken the relevant research into their traditional medicine, there is robust and comprehensive evidence of what herbs cures what illness and what dosage form is best in what situation. Here in Nigeria, not so much and that is one of the areas we are focusing on.
