Reports from the Secretary to the Government of the Ferderation (SGF), Boss Mustapha has rubbished the above claims saying Nigeria did not receive an Invoice in addition to the drugs.

According to him, the same mixture was sent to other countries without an invoice and when he took delivery of the herbal mixture, no invoice was handed to him. Which means there was no cost attached. He said;

“In terms of the question of whether it comes with a cost. It was handed to me without an invoice so I assume it doesn’t come with a cost.

“That’s my assumption. For that, I think the Madagascar issue and the Chinese issue should be laid to rest.

“I think we have said repeatedly hear that we did not ask for the Madagascar consignment, it was given by the government of Madagascar to African countries as their contribution to wanting to find solution to the COVID-19 pandemic and we have repeatedly said our consignment and those of West African countries, was dropped off at Guinea Bissau and that we were making arrangements to go and airlift it.

“As God would have it, the President of Guinea Bissau decided to visit our President last Saturday and when he was coming, he came with our consignment of five cartons and those five cartons were delivered to me yesterday in the evening, sealed, without a bottle out of it.

“I’m going to engage the Minister of Health who has the responsibility of validation, through his institutions that are chartered by law to do that.

“The President was upfront with that even when he took delivery of it from the President of Guinea Bissau.

“He said it quite clear of what we are going to do with the consignment would be guided by science, under the processes of validation, we’ll now know where to go.”

An invoice was sent along with the consignment which was delivered by Guinea Bissau President Umaro Sissoco Embalo, according to reports from The Nation.

Unlike the general speculation that the drugs were given to Nigeria for Free, The Nation reported otherwise.

“For our consignments in Guinea Bissau, Madagascar has asked Nigeria to pay over €170,000. We have received the invoice because the African country has made us to realise that the drugs are not being given out free.

“We are being asked to pay for the drugs yet to be validated. Since the AU directed the supply of the drugs to African countries, we may have no choice than to pay for it.

This payment may, however, be one-off because mass importation of the drugs from Madagascar will not be cost effective. By the time we take into account the cost of freight, the amount will be too high.” the report said.

The worldwide fight against malaria is multi-faceted, employing a number of approaches including vector control and effective case management. The use of the ACT (artemisinin-based combination therapy) as first-line treatment against uncomplicated malaria was recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the mid-2000s and to date, ACT has been used extensively in most disease-endemic countries to manage the disease. In Ghana, artesunate-amodiaquine (AA) is the first choice, with artemether-lumefantrine (AL) and dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHAP) as alternatives. The use of the ACT coupled with the implementation of other interventional measures has resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of malaria in Ghana lately.

Well despite this gain and reports that the ACT still remains efficacious in the country, commercial anti-malarial herbal preparations continue to enjoy high patronage in Ghana and the world as a whole. This situation may be due to the fact that herbal medicine presents a cheaper alternative to allopathic medicines. Whether home-made or factory-produced, herbal medicine is being considered as the best in the country and slowly replacing chemical drugs imported from abroad. Globally, it is estimated that over 1200 plant species are used for the treatment of malaria and fevers, and herbal preparations are potentially important sources of new anti-malarial treatments.

The practice of using herbs to treat malaria in Ghana is indigenous and widespread, and here are a few home-made tips to curb that malaria that won’t go away.

1) Neem tree leaves preparation: botanically known as Azadirachta Indica, neem is a tree in the mahogany family and can be found at the backyards of almost every home or avenue on the streets of Ghana. Cut a thin strip of neem tree bark, shed some of its leaves, wash and place in a pan. Add a clove of garlic, two fingers of ginger, peels of stripped pineapple and Tumeric. Boil until it permeates an aromatic scent, then serve either hot or cold.

2) Bitter Leaf preparation: this is a common plant in West Africa and some tribes even use its leaves in the preparation of stew. Shed a bunch of its leaves, wash and place in a pot. Add a clove of garlic, ginger, Aridan( prekese) and boil. Serve hot or cold.

3) Coconut: This fruit has many uses one of which includes the treatment of malaria. Drink coconut juice daily if possible, or five times every week and wonder at how your immune system boosts itself against malaria.
4) Water: yes water, drink lots of it every day.
