Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has said the state will explore local solutions, towards the prevention and cure of COVID-19.
The Governor said he was convinced that Nigeria can look at things that work locally.
“People may ask if we have been funding the research institutes very well. They may even ask if we are in a position to bring any kind of solution to the world. My answer is yes. Even chewing something like bitter-kola. When the Western world is having the flu season, they have flu shots. But here, we have things like catarrh. When we are crossing over from the dry season to the rainy season, people almost always fall sick. Cold, cough, catarrh, we have ways of dealing with all of these locally.
“So, except a solution comes from the Western or Eastern world, I won’t say that we cannot deal with it. I believe we have the capacity. We have the intellect to look at things that work locally and we will keep encouraging that. We have the capacity to also validate some of the results that we are going to be getting.
