The Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), Boss Mustapha, has said Nigeria did not pay to get Madagasca’s COVID Organics, its herbal remedy for coronavirus.

Mustapha made this disclosure while speaking at the Presidential Task Force Briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, May 19, 2020.

According to the SGF, the government of Madagascar decided to give to African countries which Nigeria’s portion was brought by President of Guinea Bissau, Umaro Sissoco Embaló, on his visit to meet President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.

He said: “We have repeated that we didn’t ask for it. It was given to us by the government of Madagascar to African countries as their contribution towards solution to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The consignment for West Africa was dropped in Guinea Bissau and we were making effort to airlift. As God would have it, the President of Guinea Bissau visited our President last Saturday and came with our consignment of five cartons. They were handed over to me yesterday evening (Monday) sealed. It was handed over to me without an invoice, so I assume it didn’t come with any cost.”

Okay.ng understands that reports emerged on the internet stating that Nigeria paid the sum of €170,000 for the COVID-Organics from Madagascar.
