COVID-19: Ex- Rep Tasks Governors On Home-Grown Treatment
Former member of the National Assembly, Bimbo Daramola has expressed concern over the aloofness of the authorities in Nigeria to possible home grown treatment for Coronavirus.
Daramola, who is also the convener of OneUnitedAfrica crusade hinted that the idea, if encouraged and given necessary support, could be a door to great opportunities.
Reviewing the current situation, as it concerns COVID-19, Daramola warned that the greatest tragedy would be a re- occurrence of the global pandemic in human history.
He admonished that the current situation was capable of giving Nigeria a New Medical System that will cut down illness related mortality and medical tourism by about 70 percent.
Daramola, who represented Oye/Ikole- Ekiti Federal Constituency between 2011-2014 also cautioned the Federal Government against giving out loans of any kind either to individuals or corporate organisations in the middle of the global health challenge as such could end up being palliatives.
He said, “We need the will to want to do right,to buy good medical equipment,in good quantities, at right prices and motivate the personnel that will be committed to make the system work and deliver.”
