Today, on World Malaria Day 2025, I reaffirm our collective resolve to defeat one of humanity’s most persistent health challenges.
At the Nigeria Natural Medicine Development Agency (NNMDA), we believe that investing in natural medicine research and development is not only strategic but essential to achieving sustainable health outcomes, especially in the fight against malaria.
Our wealth of indigenous knowledge, when combined with cutting-edge scientific innovation, holds immense potential for the prevention, treatment, and management of malaria.
We remain grateful to the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for their unwavering support and belief in the power of natural medicine to transform health systems.
I am also proud to announce that four innovative NNMDA products, rooted in natural medicine are now ready for uptake. This marks a bold step forward in our commitment to provide effective, homegrown solutions to pressing health challenges.
The fight against malaria demands rethinking, collaboration, and innovation. At NNMDA, we are harnessing the best of modern science and nature’s wisdom to protect lives and shape a healthier Nigeria.
A malaria-free Nigeria is not just a dream, it is possible.
We are coming!
